PROPOSED VARIATION 1 INCLUSIVE OF RECOMMENDED AMENDMENTS

Variation 1 to the Proposed Canterbury Land & Water Regional Plan

NOTE:

If in the unlikely event that the amended Variation differs from the recommendations in Appendix 1 then the Amended Variation prevails.

Section 5 – Region-Wide Rule

5.69 The use and disturbance of the bed (including the banks) of a lake, river or a wetland by stock and any associated discharge to water that does not meet one or more of the conditions 2 to 4 of Rule 5.68, excluding Condition 1, and is not listed as a non-complying activity under Rule 5.70 or a prohibited activity under Rule 5.71 is a discretionary activity.

5.164 The introduction or planting of any plant, or the removal or disturbance of existing vegetation in, on or under the bed of a lake or river that does not comply with one or more of the conditions 1, 3 or 5 to 7 of Rule 5.163, excluding Conditions 2 and 4, is a restricted discretionary activity.

The exercise of discretion is restricted to the following matter: 1. The actual and potential adverse environmental effects of not meeting the condition or conditions of Rule 5.163

[Amendments to Section 9 - Christchurch-West Melton]

Add the following text to the introduction before Section 9.1

The West Melton Special Zone is a defined area where there is a high density of bores and has in the past seen significant groundwater development for irrigation. To protect bores used for domestic, stock water and community water supply from interference effects and impacts on reliability, the special management regime operating in this area since the early 1990s is formalised in this section of this Plan.

The regime has two elements. First, restrictions are applied to groundwater abstractions in the West Melton, Yaldhurst and Weedons area when groundwater levels are low. The restrictions do not apply to water takes less than 10 m³ and takes for community water supply. Secondly, regional rules permitting the abstraction of between 10 m³ and 100 m³ per day of groundwater on properties greater than 20 ha without the need for resource consent do not extend to the West Melton Special Zone.1

[Add the following sub-section to Section 9]

Deletions to the text are shown strikethrough or noted in the relevant text headings.]

Section 11 – Selwyn –Te12 Waihora Sub-region

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/Huritinis, 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 1998198813 and the Waimakariri River Regional Plan. This section also does not apply to the taking and using of surface water from any section of the Rakaia River that is within the Little Rakaia Combined Surface and Groundwater Allocation Zone.14

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 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.

This section of the Plan gives priority to the outstanding values of the lake and recognises the sensitivity of Te Waihora as a receiving environment, through the careful management of activities that have a direct influence on lake health, and the relationship of Ngāi Tahu with the lake. This enables Ngāi Tahu to more effectively exercise kaitiakitanga with regard to Te Waihora15.

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.

The Selwyn Te Waihora sub-region that is addressed by this section includes a diverse range of farming, industrial and township based activities. The sub-region is of significant economic, social and cultural importance to the wider Canterbury Region and New Zealand16.

Irrigation can be helpful in delivering a range of benefits at local, regional and national scales. 17In the last 20 years, water use, irrigation and the extent of18 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 Plan19.

The Selwyn Te Waihora sub-region is an important area for agriculture and food production which provides significant employment, both on-farm and in processing and service industries. The social and economic wellbeing of the community is reliant on the agricultural industry and it is important that it is retained so that the community can thrive20.

Flows in lowland streams and the Selwyn River/Waikirikiri have decreased by 15-20% percent, 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 accumulated in the lake-bed 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, as expressed in the Zone Implementation Programme Addendum,21 for Te Waihora/Lake Ellesmere catchment is ‘To restore the mauri of Te Waihora while maintaining 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 Te Waihora sub- region 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;

20 V1pLWRP-1383 - Horticulture NZ 21 Cl 16 - Minor amendment

• Requiring all farming activities to operate at good management practice then make further improvements over time in managing nitrogen.

The package of actions 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. There is however, potential for further improvement in the management of irrigation and diffuse pollution as innovation continues to develop within the agricultural sector. This will provide the opportunity for continual improvement in the health of Te Waihora/Lake Ellesmere and water bodies in the catchment over time.

This sub-regional section includes policies and rules in addition to those in Sections 4 and 5 of this Plan to support the implementation of the package of actions for the catchment and to sustainably manage water resources to achieve the purpose of the Resource Management Act 1991. It does so within the scope of a regional plan and regional council functions under the Resource Management Act 1991. The objectives and strategic policies in Sections 3 and 4 of this Plan in conjunction with the Selwyn Te Waihora sub-region catchment freshwater outcomes in Section 11.6 are the sub- region’s catchment’s ‘freshwater objectives’ in accordance with the National Policy Statement: Freshwater Management 2014 201122.

The Selwyn Te Waihora sub-region catchment is not currently achieving all its ‘freshwater objectives’ and water quality is anticipated to get worse before it gets better as a result of lag effects. The sub- region catchment is therefore over-allocated in accordance with the National Policy Statement: Freshwater Management 2014 201123. In accordance with the Council’s Staged Implementation Programme this sub-regional section implements Policy A2 and includes limits or targets (Section 11.7) and rules (Section 11.5) to assist with improving water quality and meet the limits or targets within the rules. This section also sets out the environmental flow regimes and allocation limits for surface and groundwater in the sub-region catchment (Section 11.7.1 and 11.7.2) and the rules (Section 11.5) to phase out over-allocation of water in accordance with Policy B6.

Earthquake Recovery Activities

The following rules apply in the Selwyn Te Waihora Sub-regional area, in addition to those set out in Section 5 of this plan.

Note: For all activities in or near waterways, refer also to the requirements and restrictions under the Canterbury Flood Protection and Drainage Bylaw 2013

11.5.46 11.5.1Prior to 31 December 2018, the repair of earthquake damaged land located within the area shown on area shown on Map 11.1, and located outside the High Soil Erosion Risk Areas, and which is carried out on an individual site used for residential activities, but excluding any residential property zoned “red” by the Canterbury Earthquake Recovery Authority, which involves any one or more of: (a) the use of land for: i. the excavation of material over the unconfined, semi-confined or coastal confined aquifer system; ii. the deposition of material into land or into groundwater, and any associated discharge into groundwater; iii. vegetation clearance or earthworks within the riparian margin (defined for the purposes of this rule as any land within 10 metres of the bed of a river, lake or wetland boundary); iv. the installation, maintenance, and use of a bore for geotechnical investigation or monitoring purposes; v. the installation and construction of building foundations; (b) the discharge of sediment-laden water generated from earthworks into a surface waterbody, or onto or into land where it may enter a surface water body; (c) the taking of groundwater for the purposes of dewatering or land drainage, and the associated discharge of that water into a surface water body, or onto or into land where it may enter a surface water body. is a permitted activity, provided the following conditions, as applicable, are met:

General Conditions 1. The extent and duration of any works is limited to only that necessary to repair the land.

2. The works (excluding any discharges associated with the works listed above) do not occur in, the bed of any lake, river or natural wetland.

Earthworks, Excavation and Deposition of Material 3. Erosion and sediment control measures are implemented and maintained in accordance with Environment Canterbury’s Erosion and Sediment Control Guidelines for Small Sites to minimise erosion and the discharge of sediment laden water to surface water. 4. Any material deposited into land consists only of uncontaminated fill (soil, rocks, gravels, sand, silt, clay), concrete, cement, grout, concrete, steel or timber foundation piles, or inert building materials. 5. From the date this rule becomes operative, the use of land for the placement of treated timber foundation piles into confined groundwater within the Coastal Confined Aquifer System, and any discharge from those foundation piles, does not occur within a group or community drinking water supply protection area, as set out in Schedule 1 of this plan. 6. Any excavation over the coastal confined aquifer system maintains at least one metre of undisturbed material between the deepest part of the excavation and Aquifer 1. 7. No materials (other than those listed in condition (4)), vehicles or machinery (excluding clean uncontaminated equipment used for dewatering, and infrastructure installed for the purposes of land repair) are deposited into, or used within groundwater. 8. Compaction, or earthworks involving below ground soil disturbance (excluding filling), do not occur on any part of a site which is identified as a landfill. 9. There is no discharge of any cement, concrete, grout, or water containing cement, grout, or concrete, into any surface waterbody, or beyond the property boundary. 10. Where grout is deposited into land, or into groundwater, the following conditions also apply: a. The volume of groutshall not exceed 50 cubic metres per site. b. The point of deposition into land is not within: i. 20 metres of any surface water body, or 20 metres of the Coastal Marine Area, where the material is deposited into groundwater; or ii. 10 metres of any surface water body, or 10 metres of the Coastal Marine Area, where a separation of one metre is maintained between groundwater and any deposited material. c. Where grout is deposited into land via in-situ mixing: i. The grout shall be mixed evenly throughout the augured soil column; and ii. The percentage of grout within the area of the augured soil column shall not exceed 20%, e. Where grout is deposited into land using methods other than in-situ mixing, the percentage of cement in the dry grout mixture shall not exceed 30% 11. To prevent erosion, bare ground is stabilised within 10 days of any vegetation clearance or earthworks.

12. For earthworks carried out within the riparian area, in addition to conditions 3 through 11, the following conditions apply: i. Vegetation used and maintained by the Canterbury Regional Council for flood or erosion control purposes is not removed. ii. Replanting is not of a species listed in the Biosecurity NZ Register of Unwanted Organisms or Canterbury Pest Management Strategy. iii. The activities do not reduce the available floodway. iv. The activities do not result in the destabilisation of the bank of any river, lake or natural wetland, or destabilise any existing lawfully established structures, or interfere with access to waterways for maintenance or inspection purposes.

Geotechnical Investigations 13. The bore is used only for the purposes of geotechnical investigations and is decommissioned by filling with clean material and compacted or sealed at the surface to prevent contaminants entering the bore. 14. Information on location (including bore logs and intended uses), and other relevant information is submitted to the CRC within 20 working days of drilling the bore.

Dewatering, Sediment-laden Water, and Land Drainage 15. Dewatering and land drainage discharges are not from, or discharged onto or into any site listed on Environment Canterbury’s Listed Land Use Register. 16. The taking of groundwater for dewatering purposes does not lower the groundwater level more than 8 metres below the ground level of the site. 17. The taking and discharge of land drainage water and site dewatering water onto or into land or into surface water does not result in subsidence of the land surface, or river bed or river bank erosion. 18. The discharge of dewatering water onto or into land, or into surface water, does not result in any flooding of any neighbouring property, or result in ponding on the land surface for more than 48 hours. 19. The concentration of suspended solids in any dewatering water or sediment-laden water discharged to any surface water body does not exceed 100 grams per cubic metre.

For the purposes of this rule the following definitions apply:

“Earthquake Damaged Land” means land damaged as a result of the Canterbury Earthquake Sequence that commenced on 4 September 2010.:

“Residential Activities” means land zoned residential in a district plan; or land used predominantly for residential occupation as at 4 September 2010”.

Grout means a material which consists of water and at least 20% cement, and which may also contain aggregate, inert additives or bentonite.

“Landfill” means any part of a site where solid or hazardous waste has been deposited (either lawfully or not), and which is identified as a landfill on Environment Canterbury’s Listed Land Use Register, or in the records of the relevant territorial authority.

11.5.47 11.5.2The repair of earthquake damaged land which is carried out on individual sites used for residential activities which does not meet one or more of the applicable conditions of Rule 11.5.1 is a restricted discretionary activity.

The CRC will restrict discretion to the following matters: 1. The effect of not meeting the condition or conditions of Rule 11.5.1 2. Mitigation measures proposed to be implemented or mitigation measures available to minimise any actual or potential environmental effect.

Notification Pursuant to sections 95A and 95B of the RMA, an application for resource consent under this rule will be processed and considered without public or limited notification.

‘Cultivation’ means the preparation of land for growing pasture or a crop and the planting, tending and harvesting of that pasture or crop, but excludes: • direct drilling of seed; • no-tillage practices; • re-contouring of land; and • forestry.230

‘Intensive winter grazing’ means grazing of stock between 1 May and 30 September on fodder crops or pasture where the grazing results in significant pugging or de-vegetation or the exposure of bare ground. This is usually associated with break feeding behind temporary fencing.

‘Soil moisture monitoring’ means methods of monitoring soil moisture that use either volumetric or tension based methodology231

(a) Nutrient Management: (i) A nutrient budget based on soil nutrient232 tests has been prepared, using OVERSEER® in accordance with the latest version of the233 OVERSEER® Best Practice Data Input Standards [2013], or an equivalent model approved by the Chief Executive of Environment Canterbury and is reviewed annually (ia) Where a material change in the land use associated with the farming activity occurs (being a change exceeding that resulting from normal crop rotations or variations in climatic or market conditions) the nutrient budget shall be prepared at the end of the year in which the change occurs, and also three years after the change occurs; (ib) Where a material change in the land use associated with the farming activity does not occur, the nutrient budget shall be prepared once every three years; (ic) An annual review of the input data used to prepare the nutrient budget shall be carried out by or on behalf of the landowner for the purposes of ensuring the nutrient budget accurately reflects the farming system. A record of the review shall be kept by the landowner.234
