Condition 1 sets limits on the volume and rate of abstraction.
Condition 2 requires that the bore is labelled.
Conditions 3 to 7 deal with installation of a water meter and datalogger, recording and
provision of data, accuracy of the equipment, access, and repairs and maintenance.
Condition 8 requires the consent holder to adopt the best practicable option to prevent
or minimise adverse environmental effects.
Conditions 9 and 10 deal with lapse and review of the consent.

water will be from reserves far below that which is used for domestic
or farm purposes. In addition, there are no known groundwater abstractions within
a radial distance of 1100 m from the proposed wellsite. Shallow groundwater (which
does not have any saltwater content) was to be protected by casing within the bore
hole. Given these factors, the abstraction would not cause the above effects.
In granting the consent it was considered that the taking of groundwater was
unlikely to have any
farm purposes. In addition, there are no known groundwater
abstractions within a radial distance of 1100 m from the proposed wellsite. Shallow
groundwater (which does not have any saltwater content) was to be protected by
casing within the bore hole. Given these factors, the abstraction would not cause the
above effects.
In granting the consent it was considered that the taking of groundwater was
unlikely to have any adverse effect on the environment.

3.1 Ms V McKay, Manager – Environmental Assurance, advised the Council of two tailored
compliance monitoring reports that have been prepared since the last meeting.
3.2 Councillor D H McIntyre asked for an explanation on the Colson Road groundwater
bores. Ms V McKay responded that the closure phase has begun on this landfill so
therefore the bores are being relocated and a variation to the consent was required. New

impact of any new take on existing groundwater users and ecological receptors form a major component of
this assessment.
Groundwater levels in coastal bores should generally be maintained above mean sea level to avoid the risk
of sea water intrusion into the freshwater aquifers. Increased salinity in previously fresh groundwater can
result in significant ecological effects, adversely impact existing users of
Company).
Ground water is close to ground level, with water levels of approx. 0.28 and 1. 2 m below ground
level.
No deep groundwater information has been sourced for this assessment and it is considered the
upward movement of shallow groundwater would restrict downward movement of surface water
from the catchment area. There are no deep groundwater bores located between this composting
pad and the Mimi River.
Rainfall is measured and recorded daily from a weather station situated at the
distance of each site
from the Cheal wellsites and whether the sample site was up-gradient or down-
gradient of the Cheal wellsites, based on the inferred groundwater flow direction in
the area of investigation.
A description of the various sites is as follows:
• Site 1 is a bore, which taps the unconfined volcanics aquifer. The bore is cased
and screened to a total depth of 22.8 m.
• Site 2 is a large spring which provides baseflow to Te Ngaere Stream.
• Site 3 is a shallow dug
wellsite.

This permit was issued by the Council on 13 March 2009 under Section 87(d) of the
RMA. It is due to expire on 1 June 2021.
Consent conditions were imposed on Todd Energy Limited to ensure that adverse
effects were avoided in the first instance. Consent conditions of this consent are as
follows:
Condition 1 and 2 restricts the lowering of static water level and intrusion of salt
water to adjacent bores and aquifers.
Condition 3 and 4 requires the
