HBRC TANK Plan Change Submission
3. Lodges a submission on the Proposed TANK Plan Change 9 before 3
July 2020 that seeks replacement of Policy 39 with a new policy along the
following lines.
Hawke’s Bay Regional Council will:
3.1. consult with iwi and other relevant parties to investigate the
environmental, technical, cultural and economic feasibility of options for
stream flow maintenance and habitat enhancement schemes including water
storage and release options and groundwater pumping and discharge options
that:
3.1.1 maintain
stream flows in lowland rivers above trigger levels where groundwater
abstraction is depleting stream flows and
3.1.2 improve
oxygen levels and reduce water temperatures
3.2. determine
the preferred solutions taking into account whether:
3.2.1 wide-scale
aquatic ecosystem benefits are provided by maintaining stream flow across
multiple streams
3.2.2 multiple
benefits can be met including for flood control and climate change resilience
3.2.3 the
solutions are efficient and cost effective
3.2.4 scheme
design elements to improve ecological health of affected waterbodies
3.2.5 opportunities
can be provided to improved public access to affected waterways.
3.3. develop
and implement a funding mechanism that enables the Council to recover the
costs of developing, constructing and operating stream flow maintenance and
habitat enhancement schemes from permit holders, including where appropriate,
3.3.1 management
responses that enable permit holders to manage local solutions and
3.3.2 commitment
to develop any further plan change within an agreed timeframe if necessary to
implement a funding solution
3.4. ensure
that stream flow maintenance and habitat enhancement schemes are constructed
and operating within ten years of the operative date of the Plan while
adopting a priority regime according to the following criteria:
3.4.1 solutions
that provide wide-scale benefit for maintaining stream flow across multiple
streams
3.4.2 solutions
that provide flow maintenance for streams that are high priority for
management action because of low oxygen levels
3.5. review
as per Policy 42 if no schemes are found to be feasible.
3.6. Makes amendments to TANK Rules 9 and 18 and Schedule 36, plus
other consequential amendments as necessary to enable the new policy to be
implemented including removing a choice between contribution to stream flow
maintenance and a ban on abstraction at trigger flows.
