API separator and all bunds and ring drains were clear. Everything was satisfactory.

The site was inspected during fine weather with no significant rain having occurred for
a week or more. The skimmer pits were clear and not discharging. The ring drains were
free of contaminants and a frog was in residence at the top end of the drain. Some
flaring was being undertaken, but this was very minor and no downwind effects were
noted. The
monitoring bore GND2103 varied in
response to abstraction from GND2010. When abstraction volumes increase over the summer months the
groundwater levels fall in response and during the winter months, when abstraction decreases, the
groundwater levels recover.
In summary, groundwater level monitoring data gathered by the Council does not indicate any long-term
reduction in shallow or deep groundwater levels as a result of the abstraction authorised by consent 7470-

adequately addressed under other provisions of the Plan and do not require
repeating. Section 5.1 explains that the policies apply to all activities within the
coastal environment, regardless of the activity to be authorised and which coastal
management area the activity may fall within. Policy 33 must therefore be read in
conjunction with each of the other relevant policies, including all the General Policies.
Together these policies address the matters covered in the
DISTRIBUTION, BREEDING AND FEEDING
Banded kokopu are primarily a lowland species but can penetrate up to
180km inland, and to elevations of 550m. This has allowed them to
establish some landlocked populations in lakes in central New Zealand.
They are exceptional climbers and can scale steep falls to reach higher
catchments.
Preferred habitats
for adult banded

2. The consent holder shall maintain the structure in a safe and sound state such that:
(a) It does not fall into a state of disrepair and continues to function effectively for the
purpose it was designed; and
(b) Its structural integrity is maintained.
3. The consent holder shall ensure that upstream and downstream passage is provided
past the weir and intake structure for trout and native fish in all their life
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. Permits authorising the abstraction of water are issued by the Council under
Section 87(d) of the RMA.
Water discharge permits
Section 15(1)(a) of the RMA stipulates that no person may discharge any contaminant into water, unless the
activity is expressly allowed for by a resource consent or a rule in a regional plan, or by
management area within which it falls, except as
follows:
(i) rules referenced with a `G' apply to the entire coastal marine area except as otherwise
stated; and
(ii) rules for activities that fall within more than one coastal management area are dealt
with as described in Section 4.2.4.
