Vector Ltd holds water permit 1125-4 to take water from Kapuni Stream for the
operation of a gas processing facility and related ancillary purposes and downstream
uses. This permit was issued by the Council on 19 June 2012 under Section 87(d) of
the RMA. It is due to expire on 1 June

slumping was evident on either the fill area or the tip face. The pre-fill gully was well grassed with no sign of
sediment runoff.
The stormwater drains were grassed and contained minor amounts of stormwater following heavy rain the
previous day. The stormwater ponds were moderately full, and the final pond was discharging at a trickle
flow. There was no visible effect noticeable in the receiving waters downstream of the discharge. Silt

Conditions were fine with a moderate westerly wind. It had rained in the catchment in the two days
preceding the inspection. The camp was reasonably quiet during the inspection, with seven camping parties
present on site. There was no weed coverage on the western filter bed and low coverage on the eastern
bed. There was a small amount of ponding on the western bed (<5% of the surface) and no ponding on the
eastern bed. There was a noticeable
