The Council determined that the application to take groundwater fell within Rule 49 of the Regional Freshwater Plan for Taranaki (RFWP) as the rate and daily volume of the groundwater abstraction may have exceeded that of the permitted activity (Rule 48). Rule 49 provides for groundwater abstraction as a controlled activity, subject to two conditions: • The abstraction shall cause not more than a 10% lowering of

The channel clearing works may have increased the rate of flow and at the same time, normal continuous river bank erosion worked to slow it down. 7.2.1.1 River level data The topography of the Waitotara catchment makes it extremely difficult if not impossible to establish sites for river

waters were typically disposed of by release into surface streams. Today, approximately 95% of produced waters in the US are disposed of via underground injection at an estimated volumetric flow rate on the order of 10 million m3/day (Otton and Mercier, 2012). 2.1.1 Regulatory Scheme USEPA regulations are the minimum foundation for the regulation of DWI in the US. Given the size of the US and the various industrial operations that occur there and utilize DWI for the disposal of waste
settlement pond (after the wash area) was being cleaned at the time of the inspection. Stormwater and groundwater were being pumped from the floor of the quarry to the third pond of the upper ponds settlement system. A moderate rate of discharge was occurring from the final (sixth) pond to the tributary but there were no visual impacts of this tributary on the appearance of the Kurapete Stream at the boundary of the mixing zone as stream flow was high and turbid.
