51/26337// BJ Caird - Onstream Dairies Limited variation to cr:991994 & Change of Conditions of CRC991994 & CRCO 11548 1. Introduction

This report has been prepared for Environment Canterbury as the regulatory authority for the proposed activities in accordance with Section 88 of the Resource Management Act 1991 by Melissa Anthony of GHD Limited on behalf of the applicant.

BJ Caird, now Onstream Dairies Ltd (the applicant) is applying for a change of conditions to water permits CRC991994 and CRC011548 to allow for the inclusion of irrigation of pasture for milking dairy cows. No increase in instantaneous rate of take, volume or seasonal volume is being applied. The land area to be irrigated is also not changing.

The applicant is also applying for an application to take dairy shed wash water. This consent has been submitted to Ecan at the same time as this application so does not yet have consent number. The applicant has applied for resource consent CRC083441 to discharge dairy effluent to land. This consent is currently still in process.

2. Site Description

2.1 Property Involved

The property to which this application relates is located between Totara Valley Road and Leys Estate Road, Pleasant Point, being Lot 1 DP 668 and Lot 1 DP.850

Appendix A contains a plan showing the location of the existing irrigation area for CRC991994 and

CRC011548.

2.2 Soils of the Site

To determine the soil types located on-site we have interrogated Environment Canterbury's GIS

database. This database indicates that the dominant soils are as follows:

D Wakanui deep silt loam on clay learn and silt loam, with an average PAW of 150mm;

D Lismore shallow silt loam and Darnley shallow silt loam with an average PAW of 95mm

in addition there is a smaller area of the following:

D Lismore stony and shallow silt loam with an average PAW of 95mm;

I Wakanui deep and moderately deep silt loam with an average PAW of 150mm

2.3 Surface Waterways

There is a water race at the northern end of the property and Totara Creek is located about 15Om south of the property. Water races are generally sealed and perched above the water table.

2.4 Groundwater resources

The site of the proposed change of conditions is located within the Levels Plains Groundwater Zone. Groundwater in the Levels Plain is predominantly found within post-glacial gravels of the Opihi River flood plain or last glaciation gravels. The late Quaternary fluvial deposits and the contained gravel aquifer of the Levels Plain, become shallow, thinner and less permeable towards and the South Canterbury Downs. Well logs suggest the base of the underlying less permeable Cannington Gravels is about 20 m deep (Brown 2000). Some deeper aquifers have been encountered at > 100m at Washdyke and Levels, and on the downlands of the southern margin of the Levels Plain.

Groundwater is recharged from losses from the Opihi River, and from recharge from the Levels Plain Irrigation Scheme (LPIS). Water from races from the LPIS and irrigated on land is lost to groundwater in the upper part of the Levels Plain, resulting in elevated summer groundwater levels in the lower Plain (typically east of State Highway One). These elevated levels increase well yields in the lower part of the Plain. Elevated groundwater levels at the coast as a result of the LPIS are intercepted by the Seadown drainage system. The main Seadown Drain discharges into the Washdyke Lagoon.

Groundwater is utilised for irrigation, stock, domestic and commercial purposes.

Groundwater feeds coastal drain systems and the Washdyke Lagoon.

The Opihi River catchment has high in-stream values associated with mahika kai (e. g. eels), recreational fishing (e.g. salmon and trout), native fish (e.g. giant kokopu), bird-life (e.g. black-faced dotteral), natural character (e.g. Opihi Gorge) and amenity values (e.g. swimming) (Morland 1994).

3. The Proposal and Matters Requiring Consent

3.1 The Proposal

This application seeks the ability to take and use water under the following scenario:

CRC991994

It is proposed to change condition 3 of CRC991994. This condition currently reads as follows:

3. Water shall only be used for irrigation of crops and pasture for grazing stock, excluding milking dairy cows, as described in ihe application, on the area of land shown on the attached plan CRC991994.

Under this application the condition is proposed as follows:

3. Water shall only be used for irrigation of crops and pasture, as described in the application, on the area of land shown on the accompanying plan CRC991994.

The remaining conditions are to remain as per CRC991994, which includes restrictions on the rate of take, volume and seasonal allocation.

CRC011548

It is proposed to change condition 4 of CRC011548. This condition currently reads as follows:

4. Water taken shall only be used for irrigation of crops and pasture for grazing stock, excluding milking dairy cows, on the area of land shown on the accompanying plan CRC011548.

Under this application the condition is proposed as follows:

4. Water taken shall only be used for irrigation of crops and pasture, as described in the application, on the area of land shown on the accompanying plan CRC011548.

The remaining conditions are to remain as per CRC011548, which includes restrictions on the rate of take, volume and seasonal allocation.

3.2 The Resource Management Act 1991 (the Act)

Section 127 (3) of the Resource Management Act states the following:

"(3) Sections 88 to 121 apply, with all the necessary modifications, as if -

(a) the application were an application for a resource consent for a discretionary activity; and

(b) the references to a resource consent and to the activity were references to the change or cancellation of a condition and the effect of the change or cancellation respectively]"

The proposed change in condition for both consents are therefore a discretionarv activity.

3.3 Regional Plans

3.3.1 Transitional Regional Plan (TRP)

The Transitional Regional Plan states that the abstraction of groundwater is a permitted activity

The proposed changes in conditions are not for an alteration to abstraction rate from that which is already authorised.

3.3.2 Proposed Natural Resources Regional Plan (PNRRP)

The proposed changes in conditions are not for an alteration to the abstraction rates and therefore remain as already assessed and authorised.

3.3.3 The Opihi River Regional Plan

The proposed changes in conditions will not affect the status of the applications in relation to the Opihi Plan.

3.3.4 Duration

The applicant does not seek a change in consent duration and it is to remain as existing for both applications, 20 Dec 2016.

Onstream Dairies Ltd 5126337 4 variation tocrc991994 & Change of Conditions of CRC991994 & C{(011548 4. Statutory Assessment

The following Objectives and Policies have been taken from the Regional Policy Statement and Variation 1 of the Natural Resources Regional Plan - Chapter 5 where they relate to the proposed taking and use of water. Each are discussed in terms of their relevance to the proposal and how the proposal may impact upon the objectives of the Policy Statement and Plan and conversely how the proposal supports the Policy Statements Plans' objectives.

4.1 Canterbury Regional Policy Statement

Part 11, Section 9 of the Regional Policy Statement describes the issues, objectives and policies relating to water management in the Canterbury region. The policies are of direct relevance to the present consent applications.

Objective 1 of Section 9 recognises the competing demands for the quantity of water in water bodies from highly varied users (e.g. anglers, tangata whenua, irrigators, electricity suppliers etc).

Policy 1 requires that water flow, level or allocation regimes should be set and managed to achieve Objective 1. Particular regard should be had to the hydraulics and water quality of the water body and its habitat requirements. The policy also requires the minimum flows to be appropriate and specifically mentions the role of MALF (mean annual low flow).

Policy 3 promotes the efficient use of water. In this context efficiency refers to both the technical efficiency (avoidance of waste) and the allocative efficiency (using water where it has greatest value).

We consider that the proposal will be both technically and allocatively efficient.

Prevention of adverse effects upon existing users of the water resource is encompassed by Policy 5. It states that taking, use, damming or diversion of water should not preclude existing users from accessing groundwater except with the agreement of the holder of that consent.

Finally, Policy 6 states that a permit to abstract water should specify maximum permitted water usage and maximum abstraction rates. This should be based on actual and reasonable water needs and as far

as practicable provide for existing water permit holders to have priority for the term of their permits. It should also specify the priority to be given to the permit in the event of restrictions and provide mechanisms to reduce or suspend abstractions during periods of low water flows or levels.

We consider the proposed changes of conditions to be consistent with these policies.

The Regional Policy Statement also requires that water quality should be managed so that certain basic values are protected. It also contains policies to manage the impact of point source and non-point source discharges. The relevant objective and policies include:-

Objective 3 enables people to gain benefits from the water quality in Canterbury water bodies while safe-guarding, the drinking water sources, life supporting capacity of water, Maori cultural values, preserving natural character, protecting habitat of trout and salmon.

Policy 9 contains provisions to establish water quality standards in plans to ensure that the Objective is

met - this sets the lowest acceptable standards, although protection could be set at a higher level.

Policy 10 (a) contains provisions to identify and provide for water bodies which should be sustained in their natural state, and

5126337 Onstream Dairies Ltd 5 variation to crc991994 & Change of Conditions of CRC991994 & CRC011548 Policy 10 (b) is to improve degraded water bodies.

Policy 11 is to promote land use practices, which maintain and enhance water quality.

Policy 12 is to ensure hazardous substances are not located in areas where water is vulnerable to contamination unless precautions are taken.

In many parts of the region, groundwater emerges and sustains low flows of rivers and the water levels in wetlands and coastal lakes. Because surface and groundwater are inextricably linked groundwater quality needs to be maintained at a level that also meets surface water quality objectives.

We consider the proposed changes of conditions to be consistent with these policies.

4.2 Proposed Natural Resources Regional Plan

Chapters 1 to 3 of the N RRP were publicly notified on 1 June 2002, and chapters 4 to 7 were notified on 3 July 2004.

Chapter 1 - Duration

Chapter 1, Consent Duration, relates to the duration of resource consents. Resource consents (other than for land use or subdivision) can be granted for a maximum duration of 35 years. Section 1.3.5 outlines a number of factors that must be taken into account when considering the duration of any resource consent to be granted. The duration is to remain as existing, being 20 Dec 2016 for both applications.

Chapter 4 - Water Quality

Policy WQL9 addresses the non-point source discharges to land that may affect groundwater quality. Policy WQL9 states:

"(1) Minimise the leaching of nutrients, chemical and microbiological contaminants to groundwater by requiring:...

(a) that the use of water for irrigation: (i) in accordance with Policy WQN17; and (ii) does not result in groundwater quality in any existing drinking water supply well, adjacent to, or down-gradient of the property being irrigated, being affected to the extent that the water in the well is no longer suitable for human consumption; ...

(3) Where groundwater enters rivers or lakes, the contaminant concentrations in the groundwater shall not result in the surface water quality being reduced below the values of; Objective WQLl, or any relevant water quality standard set in this plan or by a water conservation order."

Effects on groundwater quality have been discussed in another section of this report, where it was concluded that effects would be minor.

Chapter 5 - Water Quantity

Chapter 5 Water Quantity sets out objectives, policies and rules to provide an adequate level of protection to sustain the life-supporting capacity of surface and groundwater systems and sustain

5126337 Onstream Dairies Ltd 6 variation to cre991994 & Change of Conditions of CRC991994 & CRCO 11548 Tangata Whenua and other instream values.

Objective WQN 1 and Objective 1 of chapter 9 of the RPS are identical and define the management framework within which sustainable management of water resources involving enabling people and communities to provide for their wellbeing, subject to achieving or maintaining certain environmental outcomes can occur.

Policy WQN14 Allocation regimes for surface and groundwater. This policy sets out the approach for the allocation of ground and surface water that are available once the flow and levels required to protect in-stream or other values have been set.

Policy WQN16 relates to the measurement and recording of water abstraction. If water use is not measured then it is not possible to efficiently and effectively manage it so that the least amount of water is used to achieve the outcome sought. Measuring and recording will help ensure that allocation regimes are appropriate, identify water that may be allocated but not used, and assist in compliance with allocation regimes, particularly during periods of water restriction.

Conditions are recommended to ensure water taken is measured accurately.

Objective WQNS Efficient use of water gives effect to Chapter 9, Policy 3 of the RPS which states "Promote efficiency in the use of water", and to 57(b) of the RMA which requires that particular regard should be given to "the efficient use and development of natural and physical resources".

Policy WQN17 Reasonable and efficient use of water. This Policy supports objective WQN5 - "achieve a high level of efficiency in terms of resource availability and the use of water". The policy notes that it will be necessary to improve the level of efficiency currently achieved by many activities that use water and in particular irrigation use.

The water will be used efficiently for the proposed activity. It is noted that as this is for a change of conditions of two existing water permits to include an additional use and the rate and volume of takes are not changing, efficiency will not alter from that already authorised.

4.3 Part 11 Matters

Purpose of the Act

Under section 104(1) the consent authority must consider applications 'subject to Part 11' of the Act. The purpose of the Act \s to 'promote the sustainable management of natural and physical resources' (s. 5(1)).

The applicant considers that activity can be undertaken such that it is consistent with the purpose of the Act.

Matters of National Importance

Section 6 (e) of the Act requires the consent authority to recognise and provide for

"the relationship of Maori and their culture and traditions with their ancestral lands, water, sites, waahi tapu, and other taonga'.

As discussed in another section, there will be no effects on surface waterways, therefore Runanga are unlikely to be adversely affected.

5126337 Onstream Dalnes Ltd 7 vaAation to crc991994 & Change of Conditions of CRC991994 & CRC011548 Other Matters

Environment Canterbury is required to have particular regard to the matters set out in Section 7 of the Act. Matters requiring consideration in this case include:

(b) The efficient use and development of natural and physical resources: (c) The maintenance and enhancement of amenity values: and... (f) Maintenance and enhancement of the quality of the environment."

As discussed in the assessment of effects, these matters should not be compromised by this activity.

Principles of the Treaty of Waitangi

The principles of the Treaty of Waitangi form the basis of developing a relationship of partnership and communication. Accordingly, matters relating to this application will be relayed by Environment Canterbury to Nga Runanga.

Onstream Dairies Ltd 5126337 8 variation to crc991994 & Change of Conditions of CRC991994 & CRC011548 5. Assessment of Environmental Effects

Under section 104 of the Resource Management Act, when considering an application for resource consent the consent authority must, subject to Part 11, have regard to any actual and potential effects on the environment. The actual and potential effects of the proposed take and use has been evaluated as required by Section 88 of the Resource Management Act.

This AEE assesses the effects on the environment that may arise as a result of allowing dairy cows to graze the land irrigated under CRC991994 and CRCO11548.

The environmental effects associated with this proposed changes in conditions for both CRC991994 and CRC011548 comprise only impacts upon groundwater quality effects which may be generated by allowing dairy cattle to graze the pasture

5.1 Positive Effects

It is legitimate to consider positive effects of the proposal, as the definition of effect in the Resource Management Act includes positive effects.

Enabling the applicant to change the conditions of consent will enabling their farming practice to become more sustainable. This also promotes individual, community, social and economic wellbeing with more secure farming practices.

5.2 Effects of take on surrounding water users

Given that the proposed changes in conditions are not to alter the rate of take or volumes of take, the effects on surrounding groundwater users for both applications will remain as existing and already authorised.

5.3 Cumulative effect of take on other water users

Given that the proposed changes in conditions are not to alter the seasonal allocation a[ready authorised, the curnill-tiva affar.+ rn el Irm. Indinrt um+ar , ir,rr frn, 6,+6 n,rn-li--+i-n- u.:11 --rr.-; *nin-- -- existing and already authorised.

5.4 Effect of inefficient take

Given that the propo5ed changes in conditions for both applications are not to alter the rate of take, seasonal allocation or irrigated area from that already authorised, the effect of inefficient take will remain as existing (less than minor) and already authorised.

5.5 Effect of take on other users from seawater intrusion

The proposed abstractions are located a considerable distance from the coast, therefore this effect is not considered relevant.

5126337 Or,stream Dairies Ltd 9 variation to crc991994 & Change of Conditions of CHC991994 & CRCO 11548 CRC011548 5.6 Effect of take on aquifer stability

This effect only applies to CRC991994 and the applicant does not consider this effect to be relevant because the aquifers in the area are predominantly gravel based and are thus are not expected to subside. In addition, the proposal is existing activity.

5.7 Effect from cross-connection on groundwater quality

This occurs when fertiliser is injected into irrigation systems and water flows into the bore when pumping stops. It can also occur when water is taken from more than one source and water from a contaminated source is able to flow into a less contaminated source. if can result in groundwater becoming unsuitable as a source of potable supply.

This effect is only relevant to CRC991994 and it is noted that the existing consent has a conditions attached requiring a back flow preventer be installed. With the existing conditions in place, the applicant considers that the effects from cross-connection on groundwater quality will continue to be minor.

5.8 Effects on water quality

When water is used for irrigation, the application of the water may lead to some further effects. For example over application of water can increase surface run-off into any nearby streams, increasing 1 nutrient and contaminant levels within those streams. The irrigation of pasture can raise the water table I of the area, which can lead to a chahge in groundwater flow. This along with nutrients and other contaminants being washed through the soil can mean that contaminated groundwater can enter nearby . 8 surface waterways, thus polluting them. In addition, if the area is to be used for a dairy farm, there will be 1 subsequent disposal of dairy effluent, which may result in an increase in nutrient loading of the soil. This I may further increase contamination of groundwater and surface water.

The property is currently irrigated and used for intensive pasture and crops. The applicant has advised i

thathas beenhe intends carried toout. convert to dairy in the future therefore an assessment of effects on groundwater quality

The model used to determine this effect is the mixing model accepted by Environment Canterbury 0 Guidelines for determining significance of environmental impacts resulting from use of water for irrigatiorf Environment Canterburyinternal guideline, August 2001).

The parameters incorporated into this model to assess the effect are as follows:

• Transmissivity = 1214 m Pday, geomean of specific capacity of 10 bores within 3km, 0 22metres deep (windorised from 11).

. Hydraulic gradient = 0.005 calculated using topographical contours from ECan's GIS system. There is no piezo data available for this area on Ecan's G IS hence the use of topo contours.

® Property length in direction of groundwater flow = 1000 metres.

. Background concentration of nitrates: Given the lack of data an assessment has been carried out using both low and high background levels of 0.5mg/L and 5mg/L as is considered reflective of the range of possible background concentrations.

5126337 Onstream Dairies Ltd 10 variation to crc991994 & Change of Conditions of CRC991994 & CRCO 11548 When considering the likely effects on nitrate concentrations under the scenario of irrigated pasture for sheep and beef production (concentration in drainage of 89/m3 has been used), the model predicts an increase in concentration of NOrN of 2.05 mg/L with a final concentration of NOS-N of 2.55 mg/L for the low background level (0.5rng/L) and an increase in concentration of NO3-N of 0.82 mg/L with a final concentration of N03-N of 5.82 mg/L for the high background level (5mg/L).

Under a dairying scenario (concentration in drainage of 12g/ma) the model predicts an increase in concentration of N03-N of 3.14 mg/L with a final concentration of N03-N of 3.64 mg/L for the low background level (0.5mg/L) and an increase in concentration of NOrN of 1.91 mg/L with a final concentration of N03-N of 6.91 mg/L for the high background level (5mg/L).

The difference between irrigated sheep and beef production, and dairying, is 1.1 mg/L increase and 1.09mg/L final concentration. Refer Appendix B

The magnitude of the predicted change in concentration under dairying compared to sheep and beef production is minor compared to the draft NRRP water quality Objective 2(b) which indicates that if water quality is already affected by human activities then the N03-N increase should not be more than 2 mg/L and the maximum concentration shall not exceed 11.3 mg/L.

It is noted however that the above assessment is very conservative as the applicant also has arable cropping on the land and irrigated intensive cropping is generally considered to have a higher concentration in drainage than irrigated pasture of about 189/m3. This figure is confirmed by ECan Groundwater Quality Scientist Carl Hanson in his recent Section 42A Officers Report for the Hunter Downs Irrigation Scheme. Mr Hanson agrees with the applicant's figure of 189/m3 for N_N concentration in soil drainage water from irrigated arable cropping. This figure is greater than that of the dairying scenario and therefore converting an existing irrigated arable and pasture (sheep and beef) property into dairying is likely to result in a lesser effect on groundwater quality. Attached in Appendix B are also the figures for the arable scenario which indicate that converting to dairy will result in less effects.

It is therefore considered that the effect on groundwater quality as a result of the possible change of land use will be minor.

5.9 Effect of take on surface water flows

Given that the proposed changes in conditions for both applications are not to alter the rate of take, seasonal allocation or irrigated area from that already authorised, the effect of the takes on surface water flows will remain as existing (less than minor) and already authorised with relevant conditions (mitigation).

5.10 Adverse effect of take and use on tangata whenua values

Runanga are unlikely to be adversely affected by this proposal, given the proposed mitigation, and nature of the proposal.

Onstream Dairies Ltd 5126337 11 variation to crc991994 & Change of Conditions of CRC991994 & CRC011548 6. Consultation

No consultation has been entered into as the assessment of effects indicates that there are no parties affected by the proposed activity.

Onstream Daines Lid 5126337 12 variation to} crc991994 & Change of Conditions of CRC991994 & CAC011548 7. Mitigation measures

It is noted that the changes as proposed in Section 3.1 of this report that refer to the proposed activity will form the basis of the mitigation. It is also noted that this an application for a change of conditions of two water permits therefore conditions are already imposed on the existing consents. Existing conditions will remain with the only alteration being in relation to the use of the water (CRC991 994 condition 3 and CRC011548 condition 4)

5126337 Onstream Dairies Ltd 13 variation to crc991994 & Change of Conditions of CRC991994& CRC011548 2

8. Alternatives

Given the small scale and scope of the proposed changes of conditions and that effects have been assessed as being minor, it is not considered necessary to provide an alternative proposals.

5126337 Onstream Dairies Ltd 14 variation to crc991994 & Change of Conditions of CRC991994 & CRC011548 61Tlh

9. Conclusion

These applications are to take and use water in the Levels Plains Groundwater Zone, which is currently considered to be less than 100% allocated. it has been concluded in this report that effects on the environment will be minor, and no other water users will be adversely affected. It js therefore requested that this applications for changes of conditions for CRC991994 and CRC011548 proceed on a non- notified basis.
