<strong>Mangatawa</strong> Drain Flood Bypass and TEM Storm<strong>water</strong> AEE<br />

Comment<br />

A desk top study has been conducted by Beca <strong>for</strong> contamination from previous land-use practice. It is<br />

intended that provision <strong>for</strong> a more detailed contaminated sites study be included in the TEM Principal’s.<br />

Requirements and undertaken during the construction phase of the Project. Specific conditions requiring<br />

further investigations and measures relating to contaminated land in this proposal will be included.<br />

10.3 Operative Regional Water and Land Plan (RWLP) – 1 st December 2008<br />

The RWLP provides <strong>for</strong> the integration of the management of land and <strong>water</strong> resources in the Bay of Plenty<br />

Region. There are a number of Objectives, Policies and Rules contained in the RWLP which are relevant to<br />

these resource <strong>consents</strong>. These are briefly discussed in the following paragraphs and they are quoted <strong>for</strong><br />

completeness in Appendix 14.<br />

Chapter <strong>2.</strong>0 - Kaitiakitanga<br />

The RWLP contains a number of provisions relating to Kaitiakitanga, specifically in Objective 4 and Objective 5<br />

and Policies 14, 15, 17, 18 and 20 and Policy 4<strong>2.</strong><br />

As outlined extensive consultation with Tangata Whenua has taken place as part of these <strong>consents</strong> in addition<br />

to the consultation undertaken during the designation phase of the Project as described in paragraph 16<br />

above. Policy 42 is referred to in paragraph 128 below.<br />

Chapter 3.0 – The Integrated Management of Land and Water<br />

The RWLP contains a number of provisions relating to the integrated management of land and <strong>water</strong>,<br />

specifically in Objectives 8, 10, 13, 14, 17, 19, 22 and cross-reference to Objectives 15.3.1(a) and 16.3.1(a).<br />

The integrated management of land and <strong>water</strong> incorporates the values of stewardship of natural resources and<br />

protecting the life supporting capacity of soils, <strong>water</strong> and ecosystems, management of riparian margins, and<br />

the protection of vulnerable areas from erosion. This project maintains the cultural, ecological, amenity,<br />

natural character and landscape values of the site through careful management and the extensive consultation<br />

through out the entire process up to these <strong>consents</strong>.<br />

With regard to the quality of the <strong>water</strong> derived from the motorway, the treatment proposed <strong>for</strong> the <strong>storm</strong><strong>water</strong><br />

involves the best practicable option and will be in accordance with industry standard approaches. It will be an<br />

improvement on the existing <strong>storm</strong><strong>water</strong> discharge with respect to the TEM discharge to the <strong>Mangatawa</strong> drain<br />

and will be appropriate <strong>for</strong> discharge to the Tauranga Harbour.<br />

The ecological assessment undertaken by Bioresearches does not highlight any ecologically sensitive areas or<br />

species that the proposed activities will significantly affect. While there is Special Ecological Site adjacent to<br />

proposed works special care has been taken to avoid, remedy or mitigate effects on this area.<br />

The Maranui swale and outlet to Rangataua Bay, work already undertaken by TCC, provide significant reduction<br />

in the flood risk to the residential areas of Papamoa and the potential effects from flooding.<br />
