Signed: Victoria Clarke on behalf of the applicant – 27th March 2015 3 This report has been prepared for Environment Canterbury (ECan) as the regulatory authority for the proposed activity, in accordance with Section 88 of the Resource Management Act 1991 (the RMA). The report has been prepared by Victoria Clarke of Irricon Resource Solutions Ltd on behalf of Waitohi Dairy Ltd. The information in this report has been prepared for the exclusive use of Waitohi Dairy Ltd. Anyone wanting to use any information from this report that is not in the public domain or obtained from a 3rd party should first contact the author for permission. 1.0 INTRODUCTION Waitohi Dairy Ltd (the applicant) own and operate an 1800 cow dairy farm in Waitohi, near Pleasant Point. They have recently built a new cowshed and wish to separate the two farms out into stand-alone units. We have just applied for a change of conditions to the effluent consent and applied for a new consent for the new shed to reflect the splitting of the farms. This has resulted in CRC155597 for Waitohi One and CRC155600 for Waitohi Two. Please refer to Appendix One to see how the two farms will be split. The next step is to split the surface water take consents so that each farm has its own consent to take surface water. The applicant holds resource consents CRC150714 and CRC150715 which allow them to irrigate their property. CRC150714 authorises a take of 42.1l/s from SWAP J38/0808 and CRC150715 authorises a take of 136.5l/s from SWAP BZ19/0098. These two consents have a combined return period volume and annual volume and both allow irrigation over the whole farm. There is also a groundwater take consent, CRC000886.3, which will remain unchanged and stay with Waitohi One. There will be no changes to the total rate of take, return period volume, annual volume or area to be irrigated. The water will be split between the two consents on a pro-rata basis to reflect the shareholding in Opuha Water Limited. Waitohi One will have 211 shares and Waitohi Two will have 221 shares and this split is used for the proposed consent changes to allocate rate of take, return period volume and annual volume between the two consents. There are two pump sheds at present and each of the current consents relates to one pump shed. All of the infrastructure is already in place to allow these consents to be split with separate pumps and flow meters. However at the pump shed associated with CRC150715 there are two pumps which supply both Waitohi One and Waitohi Two hence CRC150714 will need to be adjusted so that water can be taken from both pump sheds/SWAP’s. A farm map showing the pumping system is included in Appendix Two. It was noted during the due diligence process that the current take and use consents did not reference a diversion from the Opihi River into the canal from which water is abstracted. Therefore it is proposed to add a diversion condition to each consent to reflect the water which is currently diverted from the river. It is noted that CRC110293, held by Cones Creek Limited, holds a consent to divert 800 L/s at the intake, and this in effect, includes the Waitohi water, but it is considered reasonable that the diversion of water should also be referenced on the Waitohi consents. We will also apply (in a separate application) for a land use consent to disturb the bed of the river to maintain the intake where water is diverted. 4 2.0 PROPOSED CHANGES SOUGHT The applicant seeks the following changes to CRC150714: Condition (1) of CRC150714 currently reads: Water shall only be taken from SWAP J38/0808 at or about map reference NZMS 260 BZ19:48088-02822. It is proposed to change condition (1) to read: 1. a. The rate at which water is diverted from the Opihi River from SWAP J38/0744, combined with CRC110293, at or about map reference NZMS 260 J38:572-648 shall be maintained at a nominal flow of 800 litres per second. b. The rate at which water is taken from the Opihi River, from SWAP J38/0808 at or about map reference NZMS 260 BZ19:48088-02822 and SWAP BZ19/0098 at or about map reference NZMS 260 BZ19:4778-0308, shall not exceed 87.2 litres per second, with a volume not exceeding 105,500 cubic metres in any period of 14 consecutive days and 1,186,875 cubic metres between 1st July and the following 30th June. Condition (2) of CRC150714 currently reads: Water may be taken at a rate not exceeding 42.1 litres per second. It is proposed to change condition (2) to read: Remove this condition as it is now included in condition 1 above. Condition (3) of CRC150714 currently reads: In combination with CRC150715, water may be taken with a volume not exceeding a. 216,000 cubic metres in any period of 14 consecutive days; and b. 2,430,000 cubic metres between 1st July and the following 30th June. It is proposed to change condition (3) to read: Remove this condition

  • Water Resource Summary: Pareora-Waihao
    Pareora – Waihao River: Water Resource Summary Report No. R06/20 ISBN 1-86937-602-1 note CHAPTER 5 DRAFT - not ready Prepared by Philippa Aitchison-Earl Marc Ettema Graeme Horrell Alistair McKerchar Esther Smith August 2005 1 Report R06/20, ISBN 1-86937-602-1 58 Kilmore Street PO Box 345 Christchurch Phone (03) 365 3828 Fax (03) 365 3194 75 Church Street PO Box 550 Timaru Phone (03) 688 9069 Fax (03) 688 9067 Website: www.ecan.govt.nz Customer Services Phone 0800 324 636 2 Executive summary The water resources of the rivers and associated groundwater resources draining The Hunters Hills in South Canterbury are described and quantified. These rivers include the Pareora River in the north and the Waihao River in the south, and those between. None of the rivers is large and while they sometimes flood, their usual state is to convey very low flows. Given the population in the region, including Timaru which takes much of its water supply from the upper Pareora River, the region is arguably the most water deficient in the country. More than 100 years of record are available for several raingauges in the region. Mean annual rainfalls are less than 600 mm on the coast, increasing to about 1200 mm at higher points in The Hunters Hills. Monthly rainfalls show a slight tendency toward lower values in winter months. Typical (median) monthly totals range from about 25 mm to about 80 mm. Particularly dry periods occurred in 1914-1916, 1984-1985, 1989-1999 and 2001 to 2003. Since 1996, annual rainfalls have exceeded the mean annual values in only two or three years.
