1.3.1 Water abstraction permit
Section 14 of the RMA stipulates that no person may take, use, dam or divert any water, unless the activity is
expressly allowed for by a resource consent or a rule in a regional plan, or it falls within some particular
categories set out in Section 14.

3.2.1 Inspections
08 December 2020
An inspection was undertaken to assess compliance with the wastewater discharge consent. A prolonged
period of rain occurred prior to the inspection. The yard was relatively clean and tidy. No evidence of spills.
The discharge of stormwater onsite into the roadside drain looked much improved from the last inspection.
A sample of the settling pond discharge into the wetland was unable to be collected due to a new
regional plan, or it falls within some particular categories set out in Section 14.
The Council determined that the application to take groundwater fell within Rule 49
of the Regional Freshwater Plan for Taranaki (RFWP) as the rate and daily volume of
the groundwater abstraction might exceed that of the permitted activity (Rule 48).
Rule 49 provides for groundwater abstraction as a controlled activity, subject to two
conditions:
• The abstraction shall cause not more than a 10% lowering
(Pohokura AEE Vol 3).
f. Cliff erosion
Sedimentary rocks in cliffs in the ‘papa’ areas of north and south Taranaki are relatively
young geologically speaking, so are soft, unconsolidated and easily eroded. Cliffs with
waves lapping at the base at high tide are vulnerable to episodic erosion events with the
steep faces falling away catastrophically. Compounding this process is groundwater seepage
through the cliffs which intensifies after heavy rain. When the top layers are saturated, they
Rules 35 and 36 of the RFWP do not include any matters of
control that expressly allow for the consideration of matters such as those expressed in the NPS-FM objective.
Given that the Council can only consider policies that relate to the matters over which the Council has
reserved control through the plan itself, the Council is unable to take into account matters that fall outside this
scope.

trap, near the Firewater Pond. The carpark area project was on-going and a digger was working by burial pit.
The entrance to the old dairy factory on Old Normanby Road had traces of left over burial pit product in
front of the entrance. TBP staff were advised that this needed attention, as it was forming a crust and heavy
rain would likely cause it to discharge to the drain. A discussion was had about the importance of having
underground drain plans and these were again
