2.2.1 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.
Silver Fern Farms held two consents for the abstraction and use of water during the
2012-2014 review period. Water permit 1091-3 had expired and was replaced with
water permit 1091-4.
Coastal bathing beach water quality summer 2019-2020
was undertaken as NPDC had notified Council on 18 May 2021 that the Inglewood WWTP was
overflowing into the Kurapete Stream. A NPDC WWTP technician was on site taking discharge samples. The
discharge into the Kurapete Stream was estimated at 95 L/sec. The discharge consisted of mainly rain water,
with some partially treated wastewater. This was slightly turbid/cloudy and light greyish in colour. The
Kurapete Stream was running at a moderate swift flow and there was no significant visual
working satisfactory. Effluent sumps were checked twice daily by the piggery
staff. Gernhoefer contracting had just finished desludging the first pond and spray
irrigated effluent to the flatter paddocks above the ponds. The desludged pond was
displaying massive microbial actively (boil ups) at the time of inspection due to the
volume of digested sludge removed. Only a slight discharge was occurring from the
final aerobic pond and the Tawhiti Stream level was high due to recent rain
throughout
falls
and flowpaths. This may include a permeability standard as
given in Condition 9 (TRC Officer’s report) for ponds.
