1.3 Resource consents
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
site was going to be scraped to remove proppant, and to also level out the site post drilling campaign.
Heavy rain earlier in the week had carried sediment into the ring drains and down to the wetland. Some of
the ring drains were visibly turbid, while others contained clear water as the sediment had been filtered
since the rain event. The bank separating the wetland from the site had undergone major works to stabilise
it and had been covered with coconut matting and hydroseed. The wetland had
applied (mm) m3 of effluent
Total 105.1 - 24,083
2.3.2.3 Method of irrigation
The effluent from the piggery is pumped to storage pond prior to land application. The Company
communicated that three different delivery systems were used during the 2021-2022 monitoring year:
1. Dribble bar – main method of effluent application, depths applied (~3 mm)
2. ‘Weta’ travelling rain gun – used to apply effluent to the Sand Dune block at 8mm depths during 8
months of the year.
3. Slurry tank

The fill area was coming to the end of fill capacity. No inappropriate material was observed. It was noted
that the first of the three silt fences needed to be repaired. Although it was fine during the inspection, it had

water. No dust or odours were noted.

was observed tracking to the drains. All drain screens were in place and appear to be regularly maintained
to prevent blocking. All hazardous chemicals were appropriately contained. Rainwater within bunding was at
a low level. Spill kits were in place throughout the site and
