Should the review of input data not accurately reflect what is happening on farm then the definition should require that the nutrient budget be updated using OVERSEER ® or an ‘approved equivalent model'. Should, however, the input data be accurate, the definition should enable a nutrient budget to stay in place for at least three years, at the end of which it would be formally revisited, updated and remodelled using the most appropriate model available. All updating of the nutrient budgets should be conducted by an appropriately qualified and experienced person. 52309 Ballance Agri-Nutrients Limited V1pLWRP-771 11.4.13 Oppose 11.4.13(a) Submitter seeks that the staged introduction of Farm Management Plans is retained without change. 52309 Ballance Agri-Nutrients Limited V1pLWRP-772 11.4.14 Oppose 11.4.14 Submitter seeks that the staged introduction of Farm Management Plans is retained without change. 52254 Baxter Family V1pLWRP-713 Proposed Variation 1 to the Oppose No specific decision requested.

The area covered by this section is shown on the map below. It includes the foothills catchment of the Waikirikiri/Selwyn River and its tributaries, the plains between the Waimakariri and Rakaia Rivers, the Selwyn and Halswell River/Hurutini, and a number of other lowland streams and ephemeral waterways of Banks Peninsula that flow into Te Waihora/Lake Ellesmere. Te Waihora/Lake Ellesmere is central to Ngāi Tahu values and culture. This section does not set flow and allocation regimes for the Rakaia and Waimakariri Rivers. These are contained in the National Water Conservation Order (Rakaia River) Order 1998 and the Waimakariri River Regional Plan. [map]

The Selwyn-Waihora area that is addressed by this section includes a diverse range of farming, industrial and township based activities. The area is of significant economic, social and cultural importance to the wider Canterbury Region and New Zealand.

The following sustainable water management priority outcomes have been identified by the Selwyn-Waihora Zone Committee:

• Thriving communities and sustainable economies. • High quality and secure supplies of drinking water. • Good practice nutrient and water management. • Kaitiakitanga is integrated into water management in the Zone. • Healthy lowland streams. • Te Waihora is a healthy ecosystem. • Hill-fed waterways support aquatic life and recreation. • Alpine rivers and high country values are protected. • Enhanced Indigenous Biodiversity across the Zone. Te Waihora/Lake Ellesmere is a tribal taonga for Ngāi Tahu. It has long been an abundant source of mahinga kai and is also known by 11

Sub ID Submitter Name Point ID Plan Provision Support/ Summary of Decision Requested Oppose the name Te Kete Ika a Rākaihautū, the fish basket of Rākaihautū. The outstanding cultural significance of Te Waihora/Lake Ellesmere is recognised in the Ngāi Tahu Claims Settlement Act 1998 and the National Water Conservation (Te Waihora/Lake Ellesmere) Order 1990. Under the Ngāi Tahu Claims Settlement Act 1998, ownership of the lakebed of Te Waihora/Lake Ellesmere was returned to Te Rūnanga o Ngāi Tahu. Te Waihora/Lake Ellesmere is also recognised as a nationally significant wetland for both wildlife and wildlife viewing. It supports a rich biological environment including native and introduced species. It is regarded as an important recreational resource for New Zealanders. It is used for fishing, kayaking, motor boating, wind surfing, water and jet skiing, duck shooting, picnicking, bird watching and sightseeing. Irrigation is critical to delivering a wide range of benefits at local, regional and national scales. In the last 20 years, water use, irrigation and intensive land use have increased substantially. Further irrigation development has been consented, and the implementation of this irrigation is anticipated by this section of the plan. In the future, it is possible that further storage will be required to offset the effects of low reliability and increased minimum flows. Although flows in lowland streams and the Selwyn River/Waikirikiri have decreased by 15-20% , there is potential for flows to improve following the implementation of consented irrigation. Against the above, there are elevated nitrate concentrations in shallow groundwater and lowland streams, and the health of Te Waihora/Lake Ellesmere has deteriorated. There is a lag effect in the transport of nitrogen in the groundwater system of 10-30 years so some environmental and cultural health outcomes will continue to decline even with immediate action. Phosphorus from historical land use has also accumulated in the lakebed sediments of Te Waihora/Lake Ellesmere and is released into the lake when wind-induced wave action disturbs the lake sediments. This can give rise to algal blooms that impact on cultural, recreational and amenity values associated with the lake. The overall vision for Te Waihora/Lake Ellesmere catchment is ‘to restore the mauri of Te Waihora while maintaining promoting the prosperous land-based economy and thriving communities.' Achieving the vision for Te Waihora/Lake Ellesmere and its catchment will require a sustained effort over a long period of time. A package of actions to achieve the vision for the Selwyn-Waihora catchment has been identified through a two year collaborative planning process with the Selwyn-Waihora Zone Committee. The Selwyn-Waihora Zone Implementation Programme Addendum 2013 records the full package of actions to be implemented. This sub-regional section comprises the regulatory actions. The key resulting actions included in the package are: • Consented alpine water introduced to the catchment for additional irrigation development and is also • used to replace groundwater takes, enable stream augmentation and/or managed aquifer recharge; • Water allocation limits, to deliver ecological and cultural flows; • New takes in over-allocated water management zones are prohibited and the volume of water allocated is reduced;

• Reducing legacy phosphorus in Te Waihora/Lake Ellesmere by 50 percent and improved management of lake-level and opening; • Restricting the agricultural nitrogen load losses from the catchment; • A 50 percent reduction in the catchment phosphorus load; • Requiring all farming activities to operate with at good management practice s then make further improvements over time in managing nitrogen .

52271 Dairy NZ V1pLWRP-1343 Section 11 - Selwyn Waihora Oppose Amend by introducing the additional underlined text to the introductory narrative (paragraph 9).

The package is significant but it will not achieve the catchment vision. Modelling indicates that to achieve the full vision for the lake under current land management techniques would require wholesale changes in land use in the catchment which would not enable people and communities to provide for their economic and social well-being. The catchments of Te Waihora/Lake Ellesmere are intensively used for primary production including, in particular, food production - much of it for export to foreign markets. Substantial food production and food-processing infrastructure (including modern, international-scale facilities) has developed over recent decades and dominates the local economy. Accordingly, many of the communities of the catchment are reliant on the continuation of irrigated agriculture and associated processing for their continued social and economic well-being. Thus, the transition to meeting the full vision for the lake must be designed and paced to enable progress at the same time as the continuation of a viable agricultural sector. Innovation in agriculture is expected to enable producers to further improve management of irrigation and diffuse pollution but it is important to match any new regulatory impositions with the availability and viability of these improved management practices. While some are available and should be employed now (and are included in this Section of the Plan), others may be some years away. Accordingly, it will be important to ensure that limits and associated practice and technological requirements and expectations are imposed with a degree of flexibility and kept under regular review.

Submitter states that policies 11.4.18, 11.4.19 and 11.4.20 [restoration activities] do not provide an indication of when or how, these activities are to be delivered and considers that the Variation could go some way further in this regard. 52333 Fonterra Co-operative Group V1pLWRP-1254 11.4.23 Oppose Amend Policy 11.4.23 as follows: Limited Only reallocate water to existing resource consent holders at a rate and volume that reflects demonstrated use, unless the resource consent holder is operating an existing industrial or trade process and demonstrates that the unused portion of the take is necessary to allow for planned future development at the industrial or trade process site . Add an advisory note immediately after policy 11.4.23 as follows: Note: For the purpose of Policy 4.50(b)(i) of this Plan, policy 11.4.23 and associated rules constitutes a method and defined timeframe to phase out over-allocation. For the avoidance of doubt, that means the requirement of Policy 4.50(b)(i) for replacement takes to be no more than 90% of the previously consented take does not apply in the Selwyn- Waihora catchment and is replaced instead by Policy 11.4.23.

Submitter also seeks a new method committing to the introduction of minimum flows and flows at which restrictions will apply once increased flows are observed in the water bodies listed in Table 11(c). Or If Environment Canterbury does not agree to the above relief, include, as a minimum, a new method committing Council to keep the minimum flows and restriction regime (and the timing of the introduction of those flows and regime) under review such that they are applied at the same time as, and at a level commensurate with, the increase in flows to the surface water bodies. 52333 Fonterra Co-operative Group V1pLWRP-1259 11.4.27 Support Amend Policy 11.4.27 as follows: Limited Apply adaptive management conditions to groundwater resource consents that have previously been subject to adaptive management conditions on the same or similar terms as the pre-existing conditions where the proposed use of water remains the same . 52333 Fonterra Co-operative Group V1pLWRP-1215 11.4.1 Oppose Amend Policy 11.4.1 to read: Manage water abstraction and discharges of contaminants within the entire Selwyn-Waihora catchment Limited to avoid significant cumulative adverse effects on the water quality of Te Waihora/Lake Ellesmere and flow of water in springs and tributaries flowing into Te Waihora/Lake Ellesmere. 52333 Fonterra Co-operative Group V1pLWRP-1213 Section 11 - Selwyn Waihora Oppose Amend Introductory text as follows: 42

Sub ID Submitter Name Point ID Plan Provision Support/ Summary of Decision Requested Oppose Limited The package is significant but it will not achieve the catchment vision. Modelling indicates that to achieve the full vision for the lake under current land management techniques would require wholesale changes in land use in the catchment which would not enable people and communities to provide for their economic and social well-being. The catchments of Te Waihora/Lake Ellesmere are intensively used for primary production including, in particular, food production. A substantial food production and food-processing infrastructure (including modern, international-scale facilities) has developed over recent decades and is a significant contributor to the local economy. Accordingly, many of the communities of the catchment are reliant on the continuation of intensive agriculture and associated processing for their continued economic and social health and well-being. Thus, the transition to meeting the full vision for the lake must be designed and paced to enable environmental improvement at the same time as the continuation of a viable agricultural sector. Innovation in agriculture is expected to enable producers to further improve management of irrigation and diffuse pollution but it is important to match any new regulatory impositions with the availability and viability of these improved management practices. While some are available and should be employed now (and are included in this Section of the Plan), others may be some years away. Accordingly, it will be important to ensure that limits and associated practice and technological requirements and expectations are imposed with a degree of flexibility and kept under regular review. This sub-regional section includes policies and rules ... 52333 Fonterra Co-operative Group V1pLWRP-1226 11.4.11 Oppose Amend Policy 11.4.11 to read: Limited Enable the discharge of wastewater or liquid waste from an industrial or trade process into or onto land which cumulatively will result in the exceedance of the nitrogen load limit for industrial and trade processes in Table 11(i) only in circumstances where the activity is replacing a farming activity and the nitrogen discharge per hectare per year will not exceed the greater of : 1. 15 kg nitrogen per hectare per annum; or 2. the lawfully permissible nitrogen loss from the farming activity that is replaced. 52333 Fonterra Co-operative Group V1pLWRP-1224 Table 11(i): Catchment Target and Oppose Amend Table 11(i) by adjusting the total nitrogen load allocated to Industrial or Trade Processes in Table 11(i). If the only consented Limited Limits for Nitrogen Losses from discharges that were omitted from this calculation were those of Darfield (as itemised in the adjacent column) then the adjusted load Farming Activities, Community should be 132.4 tonnes. However, as discussed later in this submission, Fonterra proposes that sludge wastes periodically applied to Sewerage Systems and Industrial or farm land as a substitute for fertiliser should be treated separately from other industrial or trade process wastes and be accounted for Trade Processes in farming activity rules and hence in the farming allocation of Table 11(i). Should that submission be accepted then the total allocation to industrial or trade processes in Table 11(i) ought to be 122.4 tonnes. Furthermore, Fonterra considers that the sector allocations provided in Table 11(i) should be further segregated such that allocations are recorded for all significant individual industrial or trade dischargers. On that basis, Fonterra should have its own line entry in the table of 35.5 tonnes (being 19 for nitrogen loss associated with wastewater discharge, 7.64 associated with condensate irrigated to the Gunn block and 8.84 tonnes associated with condensate irrigated to the Gray block). 52333 Fonterra Co-operative Group V1pLWRP-1222 11.4.10 Oppose No specific decision requested. Submitter seeks to adjust the total nitrogen load allocated to Industrial or Trade Processes by Table Limited 11(i). If the only consented discharges that were omitted from this calculation were those of Darfield (as itemised in the adjacent column) then the adjusted load should be 132.4 tonnes.

Limited Replacement of the provision with a commitment (in a method or advisory note) to develop Good Management Practice Nitrogen and Phosphorus Loss rates for inclusion in the Plan and to require compliance with the Good Management Practice Nitrogen and Phosphorus Loss rates from 1 January 2017. 52333 Fonterra Co-operative Group V1pLWRP-1239 11.4.14 Oppose Delete Policy 11.4.14 and replace the provision with a commitment (in a method or advisory note) as follows: Limited Following the confirmation of the good practice management nitrogen loss rates the Council will review the catchment nitrogen load limit, and develop a strategy for the reduction of nitrogen loss to comply with that limit over time. The means to achieve the required reduction (including the reductions required from the nitrogen baseline for individual properties) will, in conjunction with the good practice management nitrogen loss rates, be introduced to the Plan by way of the First Schedule process. Or, If Environment Canterbury does retain this provision the 30% reduction in nitrogen loss from dairy farms over an eight-year period should be reconsidered with a more manageable reduction rate applied (after more comprehensive cost analysis). 52333 Fonterra Co-operative Group V1pLWRP-1356 Table 11(a): Freshwater Outcomes Oppose Amend Table 11(a): Correct errors in the table relating to differing QMCI outcomes for some of the streams as indicated by the Limited for Selwyn Waihora Catchment footnotes.

For farms located with the Lake Area in the Cultural Landscape/Values Management Area, particular regard must be had to assessing risks of contaminants entering to drains that discharge to Lake Ellesmere/Te Waihora. This is an alternative and consequence of the submitter's proposal to delete Rule 11.5.2 that would mean all property owners within the Lake Area would require consent to discharge drainage water which is not considered efficient or effective regulation. 52333 Fonterra Co-operative Group V1pLWRP-1336 11.5.25 Oppose Amend Rule 11.5.25 (1) to read: Limited Within the Selwyn-Waihora catchment the discharge of any wastewater or liquid waste from an industrial or trade process, including livestock processing, excluding sewerage sewage , into or onto land, or into or onto land in circumstances where a contaminant may enter water is a discretionary activity where the following conditions are met: 1.

Area 52245 Selwyn District Council V1pLWRP-545 Proposed Variation 1 to the Oppose No specific decision requested. The submitter considers that the Variation does not give effect to the Regional Policy Statement and Proposed Canterbury Land and only achieves some of the relevant objectives in the pLWRP. In particular insufficient recognition is provided for within Variation 1, of Water Regional Plan the need and provision of regionally significant infrastructure in the townships and settlements such as community water supplies, stormwater and wastewater systems. 52287 Synlait Farms Ltd V1pLWRP-1009 11.4.6 Oppose Amend Policy 11.4.6 as follows: "Limit the total nitrogen load entering Te Waihora/Lake Ellesmere by restricting the losses of nitrogen from farming activities, industrial and trade processes and community sewerage systems in those areas that most clearly contribute nitrogen to the lake in accordance with the target (the limit to be met over time) and limits in Table 11(i)" And the Limits in Table 11(i) should sit outside the plan. 52287 Synlait Farms Ltd V1pLWRP-1010 Table 11(i): Catchment Target and Oppose Delete Table 11(i) and "ensure that numbers sit outside a plan to enable more streamlined changes to occur as new limits are Limits for Nitrogen Losses from considered." Farming Activities, Community Sewerage Systems and Industrial or Trade Processes 52287 Synlait Farms Ltd V1pLWRP-974 11.4.1 Oppose Amend Policy 11.4.1 as follows: "Manage water abstraction and discharges of contaminants within the entire Selwyn waihora catchment to avoid adverse cumulative effects on the water quality of Te Waihora/Lake Ellesmere and flows of water in springs and tributaries flowing into Te waihora/Lake Ellesmere" 52287 Synlait Farms Ltd V1pLWRP-1016 Table 11(i): Catchment Target and Oppose Amend the nitrogen load limit for industrial and trade processes in Table 11(i) by adjusting the allocation above 106 tonnes to capture Limits for Nitrogen Losses from all consented discharges and allow for future growth in the zone.

Sub ID Submitter Name Point ID Plan Provision Support/ Summary of Decision Requested Oppose 52287 Synlait Farms Ltd V1pLWRP-1013 11.4.10 Oppose Amend the policy on meeting the nitrogen load limit for industrial and trade processes to "adjust the allocation above 106T to capture all consented discharges and allow for future growth in the zone" 52287 Synlait Farms Ltd V1pLWRP-1020 11.4.11 Oppose Amend Policy 11.4.11 to enable the greater of the two loss provisions to be considered: Enable the discharge of wastewater, liquid waste or sludge waste from an industrial or trade process into or onto land which cumulatively will result in the exceedance of the nitrogen load limit in Table 11(i) only in circumstances where the activity is replacing a farming activity and the discharge will not exceed either the greater of 15 kg nitrogen per hectare per annum or the nitrogen baseline for the property . Clarify the term 'replacing' as it is unclear and wastewater disposal and farming generally go hand in hand. 52287 Synlait Farms Ltd V1pLWRP-1023 11.4.12 Oppose Amend policy 11.4.12 to allow for a lead in time for the implementation of practices associated with Schedule 24, especially for some land uses outside dairy. 52287 Synlait Farms Ltd V1pLWRP-1027 11.4.12 Oppose Amend Policy 11.4.12 to allow for a lead in time for the implementation of stock exclusion [from drains, lakes, rivers and wetlands]. 52287 Synlait Farms Ltd V1pLWRP-1028 11.4.12 Oppose Amend Policy 11.4.12 to allow for referencing to any codes of practices outside the plan for changes to be made (and not require formal plan changes to occur when these side documents are updated). 52287 Synlait Farms Ltd V1pLWRP-1029 11.4.12 Oppose No specific decision requested. Submitter seeks a multi-industry, working party to help develop awareness programmes and support the adoption of these practices on-farm. Support the adoption of these practices by getting resource users, industry and community involved in the framing of the communications, up skilling of professional capabilities and implementation strategies. 52287 Synlait Farms Ltd V1pLWRP-1030 11.4.13 Oppose No specific decision requested. Submitter states “people cannot make a fair attempt to understand the impacts of this policy until the Matrix of Good Management work is complete and nutrient baselines are established." 52287 Synlait Farms Ltd V1pLWRP-1031 11.1a Oppose Amend definition of 'Good Management Practice Nitrogen and Phosphorus Loss Rates' to be more robust and allow for some clear linkages on what these numbers may mean to business and communities. 52287 Synlait Farms Ltd V1pLWRP-1146 11.4.14 Oppose Amend Policy 11.4.14 to provide a more equitable reduction in nitrogen loss rates across the various industries (specifically the 30% reduction for dairy). Submitter considers it would be important to first accurately quantify the base loads and benchmark for operational performance before one can assign reduction targets. A better allocation mechanism may be provided at the hearing or discussed with industry prior to the hearing. 52287 Synlait Farms Ltd V1pLWRP-1161 11.4.17 Oppose Amend policy 11.4.17 to allow a lead in time to meet 'improved nitrogen loss rates' in Policy 11.4.14 for properties converting from dryland to irrigated land use within an irrigation scheme. Land owners currently cannot assess the effect of the policy against operational requirements as Good Management Practice loss rates have not been set through the Matrix of Good Management yet. 52287 Synlait Farms Ltd V1pLWRP-1158 11.4.16 Support Retain the nitrogen loss of 80 kg per hectare per annum which land owners should be operating at or below by 2037. Submitter supports the gathering of actual data to understand and scope the impact on land owners. 52287 Synlait Farms Ltd V1pLWRP-1166 11.4.20 Support No specific decision requested. Submitter seeks rules that support the adoption of Policy 11.4.20 and implementation of Managed Aquifer Recharge and Targeted Stream Augmentation with water sources other than water from alpine rivers. Submitter supports rules on non-consumptive use of water to achieve improved water quality and quantity outcomes but considers current pLWRP rules on non-consumptive taking and use of water are too restrictive to ensure all available options for managed aquifer recharge can be deployed. 52287 Synlait Farms Ltd V1pLWRP-1169 11.4.22 Oppose Amend Policy 11.4.22 as follows: Delete clause (a). Submitter considers clause (b) is contrary to policy 11.4.21 in which surface and groundwater are managed together as one resource. Amend clause (c) so that surrender volumes are considered in light of efficient irrigation. 52287 Synlait Farms Ltd V1pLWRP-1192 11.4.24 Oppose Delete Policy 11.4.24 (as captured through submitter's changes to Policy 11.4.23) 52287 Synlait Farms Ltd V1pLWRP-1193 11.4.26 Oppose Amend Policy 11.4.26 so that consented volumes meet demand conditions in 9 out of 10 years (especially in light of Central Plains Water scheme becoming operational in this timeframe).

The property is used for the disposal of wastewater or liquid waste from an industrial or trade process and resource consent has been granted for that discharge that activity whereby providing restrictions on the amount of nutrients able to applied from the waste stream; or 2. The property is less than 5 hectares; and 3. The nitrogen loss calculation for the property does not exceed 15 kg per hectare per annum. 52287 Synlait Farms Ltd V1pLWRP-1197 11.5.7 Oppose Amend Rule 11.5.7 by allowing a more realistic timeframe for the adoption of Farm Practices in Schedule 24 (condition 3) as this condition is currently enforceable now. 52287 Synlait Farms Ltd V1pLWRP-1219 Table 11(i): Catchment Target and Oppose Amend Table 11(i) to ensure the allocation of nitrogen to community and sewerage systems is accurate and reflects the waste disposed Limits for Nitrogen Losses from of to land from emptying on-site domestic wastewater facilities. Clarify whether it should or should not cover domestic sludge from Farming Activities, Community vacuum tanker operators and any allocation to seepage pits within the catchment. Sewerage Systems and Industrial or Trade Processes 52287 Synlait Farms Ltd V1pLWRP-1220 11.5.32 Oppose Amend Rule 11.5.32 by adding a matter of discretion: "Unless water is used for non-consumptive purposes and can contribute to a net gain for the zone." 52287 Synlait Farms Ltd V1pLWRP-1221 11.5.36 Oppose Amend rule 11.5.36 by deleting reference to Rule 11.5.33. Submitter considers that non-consumptive takes and takes in zones that are not over-allocated should not be prohibited. 52287 Synlait Farms Ltd V1pLWRP-1223 11.5.37 Oppose Amend Rule 11.5.37 in line with submitter's proposed changes to Policy 11.4.22 on the transfer of water permits. 52287 Synlait Farms Ltd V1pLWRP-1225 11.5.39 Oppose Amend Rule 11.5.39 to include that transfers of non-consumptive takes are enabled and not prohibited and that transfers in zones that are not over-allocated are not prohibited. 52287 Synlait Farms Ltd V1pLWRP-1212 11.5.12 Oppose Amend Rule 11.5.12 so that the "prohibited activity" status only applies to farms that clearly contribute nitrogen to Te Waihora/ Lake Ellesmere. 52287 Synlait Farms Ltd V1pLWRP-1214 11.5.22 Oppose Amend Rule 11.5.22 to clarify whether it should or should not cover domestic sludge from vacuum tanker operators and any allocation to seepage pits within the catchment. 52287 Synlait Farms Ltd V1pLWRP-1180 11.4.23 Oppose Amend Policy 11.4.23 so that allocation is based on technical efficiency and reliability. When water is reallocated do not decrease the rate of take just volume. Allocations must also allow for future growth of an activity, based on realistic expectations. 52287 Synlait Farms Ltd V1pLWRP-1207 11.5.8 Support Retain Rule 11.5.8. 52287 Synlait Farms Ltd V1pLWRP-1208 11.5.9 Oppose Amend Rule 11.5.9. Submitter seeks that the matters of discretion consider the effectiveness of Farm Environment Plan practices on meeting or reducing losses on-farm and not explicitly refer to ‘compliance. Submitter objects to matters of discretion points 1 and 2 as written. 52287 Synlait Farms Ltd V1pLWRP-1209 11.5.10 Support Amend Rule 11.5.10 to be a "restricted discretionary" activity. 52287 Synlait Farms Ltd V1pLWRP-1227 11.1a Oppose Amend the 'Nutrient Loss Calculation' definition to allow for greater flexibility so long as the nutrient baseline is not exceeded. This means the greater of:

The nitrogen loss calculation; or

The annual discharge of nitrogen below the root zone utilising the highest given loss over the previous four years.
