This report assesses the application for the consents outlined above and the associated effects and recommends whether consents should be granted for the proposed activities. The applications are for new consents. The WRC application doc ref# is 9632798.

2 Background and Description of Proposal

The applicant is proposing to redevelop the former Church College Campus site for a variety of different land uses. Specifically, the current applications relate to Stages 2 and 3 of the site redevelopment which will comprise a senior housing development, general residential development, commercial development and large areas of open space. For the most part, the following background information and description of the proposed activities discussed below are taken directly from the application at the request of the Applicant.

2.1 Background

The Church College site was operated as a secondary school and boarding facility from 1958 to 2009. Following the schools closure the Applicant (also the owner of the site) has given significant consideration to the future use of the property and is now progressing works towards the redevelopment of the site. The redevelopment plans include a large chapel/pavilion facility (referred to

Doc # 9728472 Page 2

as the Stake Centre), a retirement village, mixed intensity residential development, commercial development and large areas of open space.

The proposed redevelopment of the site is outlined on the Overall Development Concept Plan included as Appendix A of the AEE. The proposed development activities are in-line with the zoning of the site as outlined within the operative Hamilton City District Plan. In 2013, the applicant obtained an initial suite of resource consents from Waikato Regional Council (consent numbers 127626 -127629) to authorise the activities associated with Stage 1 of the Church College site redevelopment activities. These activities included large scale earthworks, a stream diversion, stream bed structures and stormwater diversion and discharges associated with development of the large-scale Stake Centre building and associated access/parking and formation of a large, landscaped open space area referred to as Legacy Park. The development of Legacy Park included the day lighting of a significant length of a previously piped section of the Koromatua Stream and the significant enhancement of the stream through construction of a series of on-line pond features and riparian plantings.

With the Stage 1 development activities now nearing completion, the Applicant is considering the future development of the balance site area (referred to as Stages 2 and 3 for the purpose of this report) which will include areas of senior housing, general residential development, a localised area of commercial development and additional areas of open space land extending from the existing Legacy Park development. It is the earthworks and stormwater diversion and discharge activities within the Stage 2 and 3 development areas which are the key subjects of these applications.

In addition, it has been identified that a number of boardwalk/bridge structures that have recently been constructed across the newly opened section of the Koromatua Stream as part of the Stage 1 Legacy Park development activities, are unable to comply with the permitted activity standards of the Waikato Regional Plan (WRP). Hence, while it is considered that these structures have/will not result in any adverse effects on the Koromatua Stream channel or surrounding land, retrospective consent is also being sought to authorise these structures through these applications.

2.2 Site Description

The former Church College Campus is located in Temple View, approximately 2km to the southwest of the Hamilton City residential suburb of Dinsdale. The former campus buildings and facilities sit upon the gentle gradient eastern slopes of the Tuhikaramea Road ridgeline which runs through the centre of the township. At the base of this slope the topography transitions into flat peat lands which stretch eastward, encompassing the existing campus playing fields, tennis courts and service buildings and then open pasture land used for dairy farming.

In addition to the former Church College site development activities, the subject applications include a proposal to borrow fill material from another nearby site owned by the applicant comprising an elevated area of pasture land used for dairy grazing located directly southward of the Mormon Temple.

Both sites are located within the jurisdiction of Hamilton City Council and are subject to a specific Temple View Special Character zoning under the Proposed Hamilton City District Plan.

Doc # 9728472 Page 3

Figure 1: Site Location The entire site area and all of the land between the development area and the borrow site is held within the applicants ownership. Additionally, the majority of land surrounding the site including the upstream and downstream Kotromatua Stream catchment areas are also held within the applicants ownership as outlined upon the LDS Land Ownership Plan included within Appendix C of the AEE.

As described, the southern portion of the former Church College site is currently subject to the previously approved Stage 1 development works which to date has included the following activities:

Construction of the large Stake Centre chapel facility and associated access roading and carparking;

Installation of stormwater infrastructure including a large wetland swale, six rain garden devices and a large on-line attenuation pond;

Diversion/daylighting of a previously channelised/piped section of the Koromatua Stream to flow through the large on-line pond device which has been subject to significant landscaping and riparian planting; and

Upgrade of the Tuhikaramea Road carriageway and drainage system including installation of enviropod catchpit filter bags to treat road runoff.

Figure 2 below provides an image of the previously piped section of the Koromatua Stream which is now flowing through the on-line pond feature.

Figure 2. Recently constructed open section of the Koromatua Stream (previously piped)

The proposed Stage 2 and 3 future development areas will extend northward from the Stage 1 area across the remaining balance area of the former Church College Campus covering an area of approximately 24ha.

The site topography again comprises a gentle slope extending eastward from Tuhikaramea Road upon which the remaining college buildings are located, which then transitions into the low lying, flat peat lands which contain the former school playing fields and open spaces. There is no notable vegetation within the site with site coverage limited to either the former college buildings and access ways or maintained grass surfaces.

It is noted that part of the site area (comprising the low lying open space area at the southern end of the site) has already been subject to placement of large volumes of pre-load material which was excavated and placed within this area as part of the Stage 1 works. These works, which are outside of the consented Stage 1 works area, were undertaken with approval from the WRC compliance officer following confirmation that they were compliant with WRP permitted activity provisions with the works including construction of a large sediment retention pond (SRP1) along the eastern site boundary to manage any runoff from this area.

2.1.1 Soil Contamination

Areas of soil contamination have previously been identified within the site comprising a historic landfill within the eastern site along with isolated areas where oil tanks formerly used for heating of buildings have been located. Remediation of these areas have been subject to previous consent processes with both the WRC and HCC/WDC with works having been completed on site to remove contaminated materials.

2.1.2 Site Drainage and Catchment Background

Site runoff generally occurs in an easterly direction, down the site slopes to the low gradient flats before entering the Koromatua Stream which flows along the southern site boundary. More specifically, runoff from the existing Church College development surfaces on the site slopes is collected in a reticulated stormwater system and discharged via one of two outlets. A small catchment located within the southern part of the proposed development area discharges via a recently installed piped network to a recently constructed treatment swale device within which the upper portion of the swale is currently

Doc # 9728472 Page 5

being utilised as a temporary sediment retention pond (Swale SRP). For the remainder of the Stage 2 and 3 development area, discharges occur from the old college piped network via a 600mm outlet pipe which extends eastward through the low lying open space area to discharge to an open farm drainage channel which extends along the eastern side of the boundary conveying site runoff and adjacent farm runoff along with groundwater flows southward to enter the main Koromatua Stream channel within the recent Stage 1 stream diversion works area. This tributary drain comprises a constructed artificial drainage channel draining a localised catchment at the northern end of the site with flows through the drain reducing to minor seepage flows during the summer months. The proposed earthworks borrow site comprises an elevated ridgeline/knoll feature with a pasture cover which is currently used for dairy grazing. The old Temple View water supply tank farm is located on the top of the knoll which will be subject to removal as part of the works. Runoff from the western side of the ridgeline drains via an existing culvert under Tuhikaramea Road to enter an ephemeral drainage channel which drains westward eventuating in the Kormatua Stream. Runoff from the eastern side of the ridgeline drains to an open farm drain which extends northward from the site to enter the Koromatua Stream, within the recent Stage 1 Legacy Park works area.

Upstream of the site, the Koromatua Stream drains a large catchment of around 966ha which generally comprises the low lying peat flats surrounding Collins Road which have been converted to large scale dairy farming operations through installation of an extensive land drainage network to lower catchment groundwater tables. The majority of the catchment area comprises land in the ownership of the applicant.

Through this upstream catchment, the stream channel is more characteristic of a constructed farm drain following a lineal path along farm fence lines or raceways and with no riparian vegetation cover. Based upon the low gradient topography and peat soils within the catchment, stream flows are largely dictated by ground water levels as opposed to surface runoff during storm events.

As described, the stream channel through the site has been subject to significant recent enhancements through construction of a large on-line pond features with large amounts of riparian planting to maximise both the environmental and landscape values of the watercourse as it passes through the site. The pond discharges via a new outlet weir structure to pass via twin 1200mm culverts under Tuhikaramea Road. From the culvert outlet, the Koromatua Stream follows a more natural meandering course flowing through open farmland again comprising land in the ownership of the Applicant for approximately 700m downstream of Tuhikaramea Road. Beyond this point the stream continues to flow westward to enter the Waipa River just upstream of Whatawhata.

The entire length of the Koromatua Stream has a Waikato Surface water classification under the Waikato Regional Plan.

2.1.3 Ecological Values

Appendix I of the AEE contains an Ecological Assessment prepared by Kessels Ecology on behalf of the Applicant including a description of the ecological values of the Koromatua Stream which included a sampling location within the vicinity of the site. Key findings of this study in regards to the Koromatua Stream receiving environment include:

Water quality within the stream is influenced by discharges from Lake Koromatua upstream of the site which has previously been classified as hypertrophic (very high in nutrients). In turn, water quality at the site is classed as being low due to these inputs plus the influence of runoff from the broader agricultural catchment;

Doc # 9728472 Page 6

Macroinvertebrates are limited to communities indicative of soft bottomed, highly modified, agriculturally impacted habitats being dominated by taxa tolerant of a wide variety of habitat conditions;

Long fin and short fin eels were the only species caught at the site downstream of Tuhikaramea Road with a previous study identifying species upstream of the road culvert limited to short finned eel which may be attributed to both the poor habitat quality and a barrier to fish passage presented by the existing steep concrete ramp at the outlet of the Tuhikaramea Road culvert;

Overall, ecological habitat values of the stream are considered to be low due to the highly modified nature of the channel and lack of riparian vegetation.

2.1.4 Cultural and Archaeological Values

Preliminary investigations for the overall site development project have included an archaeological assessment of the area to determine any archaeological values. The key findings of this investigation include:

Oral history of the site from local iwi has outlined that a maori village was located within the vicinity of the site, somewhere near the Foster Rd Chapel;

Six bodies were discovered during construction of the Temple in 1958 (outside the subject site). A blessing was undertaken at this time and most of the bodies were relocated to Taupiri urupa however at least one body was re-located within the temple grounds, being buried near the existing Temple entranceway (outside of the proposed works);

The NZAA records do not include any registered archaeological sites within Temple View (other than the 6 bodies which have now been added by the project archaeologist) and any sites that were present have likely been destroyed during past development activities;

Investigations have been undertaken on the elevated, undeveloped land to the south of the Temple comprising the proposed borrow site as this may have been favoured by maori and does not appear to have been subject to past modifications. These investigations discovered no archaeological features.

A copy of the Archaeological Report is included as Appendix J of the AEE.

2.2 Proposed Activities

As discussed above, the applicant is proposing to redevelop the former Church College Campus site for a variety of different land uses. Specifically, the current applications relate to Stages 2 and 3 of the site redevelopment which will comprise the following activities:

Development of a proposed senior housing area including approximately 100 senior housing units, a central rest home facility and associated access roading and service installations;

Development of a proposed residential housing area including approximately 166 private residential housing lots and associated access roading and service installations;

Development of an approximate 700m2 commercial development area at the sites Tuhikaramea Road frontage;

Doc # 9728472 Page 7

Development of a large, open space reserve area at the sites eastern boundary;

Construction of three stormwater treatment wetlands within the reserve land along the sites eastern boundary; and

Diversion/enhancement of the existing artificial drainage channel running along the sites eastern boundary to provide enhanced landscape and habitat functions.

These activities will require initial cut to fill earthworks to prepare the site for the proposed development activities along with the installation of the new site stormwater management system to dispose of runoff from the developed site surfaces. In addition, the application proposes to obtain consent authorisation for the recently constructed boardwalk/bridge structures over the Koromatua Stream which have been implemented as part of the Legacy Park/Stage 1 development works. The activities which are the subject of these consent applications are described in detail in the following sections.

2.2.1 Earthworks and Cleanfilling

The site development activities will require bulk earthworks activities to establish the future development platforms and associated roading and service infrastructure. For the purposes of this report, the proposed earthworks activities can essentially be split into three separate areas comprising the main development area earthworks, the lower lying reserve area earthworks (comprising the stormwater wetland and drain diversion construction activities), and the proposed farm borrow site. The specific activities within each of these areas are described within the following sections and are outlined in the Earthworks Plans contained in Appendix E of the AEE. Development Site Earthworks

The development site earthworks comprise the cut to fill activities occurring across the main site slope containing the former college buildings and access road network and extending eastward down onto the initial lengths of the lower lying playing fields and open space areas. It is a key aspect of these development site earthworks activities that they will occur in two separate stages referred to as Stages 2 and 3 within these applications.

Initial works are currently commencing within the Stage 2 area comprising removal of the existing buildings in preparation for the planned development earthworks to be undertaken in this area over the 2016/17 summer season. Upon completion of the building removal works, the bulk earthworks will commence comprising cutting of material from the elevated slope within the Stage 2 area to establish the future building and roading platforms through this area with the Stage 2 earthworks extending across an area of approximately 6.5ha. Cut material will be transferred directly to the lower lying flats to the east where it will be placed directly onto the existing low gradient ground surfaces as engineered fill material. The engineered fill platform will then be preloaded with additional material which will be imported from the proposed borrow site down Tuhikaramea Road (refer below). The preloaded platform surfaces will then be left and monitored to allow sufficient settlement to occur for the planned development activities. Based upon previous experience from the Stage 1 works, a settlement period of approximately 12 months is anticipated Over this settlement period, development site earthworks will commence within the Stage 3 development area following a similar process as the Stage 2 works, commencing with cutting of material from the elevated site slopes and placement of this material as engineered fill across the lower lying

Doc # 9728472 Page 8

development surfaces. The Stage 3 development earthworks extend across an area of approximately 13ha.

Upon achieving sufficient settlement within the Stage 2 area, the preload material from that area will then be transferred directly onto the Stage 3 engineered fill surfaces to initiate preloading.

Within each development stage, once the design settlement requirements are achieved and the preload has been removed, final works can proceed to trim the engineered fill surfaces to the design contours and to install roading and service infrastructure.

The cut/fill plans attached within Appendix E Outline a maximum cut of 3m and a maximum fill of 2.5m (excluding preload depths) within the development site earthworks area.

At the completion of the Stage 3 preload works, the preload material will need to be removed and will comprise surplus material which will be disposed of as landscape fill within the open space reserve areas within the eastern most parts of the site.

It is noted that as the proposed filling/preloading activities within the lower parts of the site will need to occur directly across the existing topsoil/grass surfaces within these areas (for structural reasons), this topsoil will be unavailable for spreading across the completed development surfaces upon completion of the earthworks. Hence a need for importation of topsoil is anticipated at the completion of each development stage. Reserve Earthworks

The main earthworks activities to be undertaken within the open space reserve areas along the eastern boundary of the site comprise the excavation and formation of three new stormwater treatment wetlands and the diversion/enhancement of the existing drainage channel extending along this boundary with these activities extending across an earthworks area of approximately 3.5ha within the reserve land.

Stormwater Wetlands 2 and 3 will be constructed as part of the Stage 2 development activities whereas the larger Wetland 4 will be constructed as part of the Stage 3 development works. Construction of each wetland will essentially occur as a subsurface excavation to depths of around 1m with the wetland being formed as a series of separate pools or chambers. A discharge outlet channel will also be formed as part of these works to convey wetland flows to the adjacent eastern tributary drain. Material excavated from each wetland will be incorporated as landscape fill within the adjacent development/reserve area.

It is also proposed to undertake works to enhance both the landscape and ecological values of the existing outlet drain running along the eastern site boundary. These works will include the following components:

Realignment of the stream to follow a more natural winding path (as opposed to the current lineal alignment);

Daylighting of an approximate 100m long piped section of the existing drain to be restored as open channel;

Formation of a trapezoidal shaped low flow channel with a wider, low gradient, battered flood plain area which will be subject to inundation during high flows;

Stabilisation of the channel with coconut mat application to both minimise potential channel erosion effects while allowing plants to establish within the channel;

Doc # 9728472 Page 9

Formation of the channel with a maximum 1% gradient to minimise flow velocities and to maximise stormwater treatment within the channel; and

Planting of the entire length of the channel with native riparian/wetland species to provide for channel shading and further biofiltration of stormwater.

Borrow Area Earthworks

The borrow area earthworks will comprise stripping of topsoil to access the underlying ash material which will be mined as fill/preload for the development earthworks areas with these works extending across an earthworks area of approximately 3.7ha.

The borrow excavations are intended to commence from the eastern side of the ridgeline with the material being loaded directly into road trucks and hauled approximately 800m down Tuhikaramea Road to the development site. In this respect an initial area of works within the borrow site will comprise construction of a stabilised haul track to allow for truck access within the borrow site and out on to Tuhikaramea Road.

Earthworks within the borrow area (including topsoil stripping) will occur progressively as fill is required at the development site. As the design contours are achieved, the completed borrow areas will be re-topsoiled and grassed and returned to grazing pasture.

In addition to the proposed borrow excavations within this area, a small area of filling is proposed within the northern part of the site towards the Temple carpark which is proposed purely to tie the new borrow area contours into the adjacent slope to maintain the aesthetics of this road frontage area. Again the filling works will follow the same methodology of stripping of topsoil, placement/shaping of fill and re-topsoiling/grassing.

The cut/fill plans attached within Appendix E outline a maximum cut of 3.5m and a maximum fill of 0.5m within the borrow site earthworks area. A summary of the anticipated earthworks activities to be undertaken within the three areas described above is summarised in Table 1 below.

Table 1: Earthworks Summary Over the duration of the earthworks period, erosion and sediment controls will be implemented on site to ensure that potential erosion and sediment effects are appropriately controlled. These controls will

Doc # 9728472 Page 10

be implemented in general accordance with the Waikato Regional Council Technical Report Erosion and Sediment Control Guidelines for Soil Disturbing Activities, January 2009 (TR2009/02). More specifically, erosion and sediment controls will be implemented on site in general accordance with the Erosion and Sediment Control and Dust Management Plan included as Appendix F. Additionally, dust control measures will be implemented throughout the works in accordance with this plan.

The Stage 2 and Borrow Area earthworks are intended to commence in January, 2017 and will be completed over the summer 2016/17 earthworks season. The Stage 3 earthworks are intended to commence within the following 2017/18 summer season with all earthworks activities intended to be completed by the end of 2018.

2.3.2 Stormwater

The development of the site for the planned residential and commercial landuse activities will result in the creation of new impervious surfaces including buildings, roading, carparks and other hard stand areas from which runoff will be captured and conveyed, via appropriate stormwater management systems, to discharge points within the adjacent watercourses. The philosophy behind the proposed stormwater design is based upon the management of potential downstream water quality and quantity effects to ensure that potential effects from new development surfaces within the Koromatua Stream are no more than minor. In this respect the proposed design has been developed to achieve the following stormwater management objectives:

Treatment of all stormwater runoff from new contaminant generating surfaces (e.g roading/carparking) in accordance with best practice;

Attenuation of stormwater runoff as required to ensure that post development discharge rates do not exceed those of the current discharge scenario and potential downstream flooding and erosion effects are avoided.

The specific features which have been incorporated into the drainage design to achieve these stormwater management objectives are outlined in detail on the design plans and within the Sub Catchment Integrated Catchment Stormwater Management Plan (SMP) included within Appendix G of the AEE. It is noted that the scope of this SMP extends to the stormwater management provisions across the entire Church College re development site and in this respect, covers the previously approved details relevant to the Stage 1 wetland swale, raingardens and on-line attenuation pond devices. Considering the provisions of this SMP relevant to the subject Stage 2 and 3 development areas, the following stormwater management features are proposed to manage any potential stormwater runoff effects both within the site and downstream of the proposed development areas:

Collection of stormwater runoff from the development surfaces within a piped reticulation network draining eastward through the site towards the existing tributary drain. The reticulation network is sized to convey flows up to the 1 in 10 year design storm with any flows in excess of the networks capacity being conveyed as overland flow, typically along the development road carriageways;

Discharge of stormwater runoff from the Stage 2 and 3 reticulation network to one of three proposed stormwater treatment wetlands incorporating the following design measures to maximise treatment function:

The inlet pipe to each wetland will discharge into an initial sedimentation chamber

comprising a prefabricated concrete chamber for capture of gross contaminants and to provide a location for routine maintenance with a sucker truck. Each chamber will also incorporate a bypass pipe for conveyance of larger flows;

Doc # 9728472 Page 11

Discharges from the chamber to occur via an outfall structure into a wetland forebay;

The main body of each wetland to comprise three wetland pool/chambers which in

combination will have enough volume to contain the entire water quality storm as defined within Auckland Councils Technical Publication 10 Stormwater Management Devices: Design Guidelines Manual, May, 2003 (TP10). By capturing and containing the entire water quality volume, treatment can be achieved without the need for a concrete outlet control structure which would have the tendency to sink within the local saturated peat soils in the reserve areas. The calculated water quality volume and proposed wetland volume for each of the Stage 2 and 3 devices is summarised in Table 2 as follows:

Calculated

Catchment WQ Volume (m3)

Proposed Wetland WQ Storage Volume (m3)

Wetland 2 367 541

Wetland 3 343 645

Wetland 4 1484 2443

Table 2: Catchment vs Proposed Wetland Water Quality Volumes.

Minimum of 80% of each wetland body and the surrounding area to be planted with native

wetland plants;

Discharges from each wetland to occur via overflow of a stabilised broad crested outlet weir to a constructed outlet channel to the adjacent tributary drain.

Discharges from each of the wetlands to be conveyed via the tributary drain (which is to be subject to upgrade/enhancement works) to the recently constructed Koromatua Stream on-line attenuation pond device within Legacy Park. This device (previously approved by WRC) has been designed to ensure that post development discharge rates for the entire Church College redevelopment activities do not exceed predevelopment levels.

The SMP has included modelling of the pre and post development runoff scenarios for the entire development area to determine the impact of site redevelopment on stormwater hydrology and pond design requirements. This modelling has indicated that based upon the ‘brownfields’ nature of the proposed site redevelopment, the activities will not result in significant increases in total impervious surfaces and subsequently the rate/volume of stormwater runoff from the current scenario which currently occurs in an un-attenuated manner. Hence attenuation requirements for the re-development proposal are considered to be of a relatively minor nature and based upon the proposed stormwater management measures has in fact indicated a net reduction in post development flows discharging from the Tuhikaramea Road culvert to the downstream environment. Preliminary plans outlining the proposed stormwater reticulation network, wetland design and existing attenuation pond design along with design parameters used for these devices are included within the SMP attached as Appendix G of the AEE. The longterm ownership and maintenance responsibilities for most of the stormwater assets constructed for the Stage 1 development activities including the on-line attenuation pond and rain garden devices are all to be retained with the consent holder/LDS. This is on the basis that the Stake Centre chapel, car parking area and the surrounding Legacy Park reserve area (which incorporates the pond devices) and associated drainage systems are all to be retained within the private ownership of the LDS and hence private management of these systems is justified.

Doc # 9728472 Page 12

For the Stage 2 and 3 development areas, the majority of the site development catchment will comprise the future residential development lots and road services and hence it is considered to make more sense that the drainage system and associated stormwater management measures are vested with HCC as public assets. Subsequently it is the intention that the piped reticulation network, the sedimentation chambers, the wetland devices (up to the 10 year event water level), the wetland discharge outlet and the outlet drain to the Koromatua Stream will be vested with council as public assets. Ownership and maintenance of the surrounding open spaces/park lands will be maintained with the applicant.

2.3.3 Bridge and Boardwalk Structures

As part of the Stage 1 Legacy Park development activities, a number of structures have been constructed which extend across/within the bed of the newly constructed open sections of the Koromatua Stream.

The structures include a larger pedestrian footbridge constructed across the recently formed stream channel section at a narrow point just upstream of the main attenuation pond body to provide a pedestrian connection between the Stake Centre chapel and the Mormon Temple. This bridge comprises a single span steel beam/timber deck bridge with a span between the bridge abutments of approximately 12m. The bridge has been designed/constructed so that the bridge has a soffit level of RL 37.64m sitting directly above the 1 in 100 year stream flow level of RL 37.6m as specified within the SMP.

Additionally, an extensive boardwalk network has been constructed extending around the margins of the upper most Koromatua Stream ponding area, also crossing the channel at three separate points. These include at the upstream point where the Koromatua Stream enters the site, across the northern tributary drain channel where it connects into the upstream end of the Koromatua Stream online pond system and at a narrow pinch point part way through the recently constructed open channel section. The boardwalk structures have been constructed using treated timber piles extending directly into the stream/pond bed and with a low level treated timber deck with corten steel edging and corten steel balustrades at the locations where the board works crosses the deeper channel sections. On this basis, the boardwalk structures have been designed to overtop during larger catchment flow events without posing any significant impediment to the low gradient catchment flows.

The location of the existing boardwalk/bridge structures constructed during the recent Stage 1 works is outlined in Figure 3 below with the detailed design plans of these structures included within the Bridge/Boardwalk Design Plans included within Appendix H. Additional photos of the completed structures are included within the Site Photo Record contained within Appendix D of the AEE.

3 Status of Activities under the Plans

The consent activities applied for are regulated through the Waikato Regional Plan (WRP). The WRP became operative on 28 September 2007 therefore no other plans apply. The status of the activities under the WRP are described below:

3.1 Earthworks

Neither the proposed Stage 2 and 3 development site or the borrow area are considered to comprise a ‘high risk erosion area’, as defined under the Waikato Regional Plan. Nonetheless, the works are significant in scale and the earthworks activities will be subject to the conditions of Rule 5.1.5 with condition (h) requiring adherence to a suspended solids discharge standard of 100 grams per cubic metre throughout the works. While implementation of best practice erosion and sediment control measures is proposed over the duration of earthworks, strict adherence to this standard cannot be guaranteed during a significant rainfall runoff event. Hence, to allow for any unforeseen breaches of these standards, resource consent authorisation is thus being sought as as a discretionary activity under rule 5.1.4.15 of the WRP.

It is acknowledged that the Stage 2 and 3 development activities will involve the importation and placement of both preload material and topsoil from outside of the direct boundaries of the development area. Nonetheless, the sources for these materials will likely be from within the broader LDS land holdings and will be limited to cleanfill soil materials only and hence will not result in the introduction of contaminated or leachable materials to the site development area. The large scale disposal of cleanfill materials outside of a high risk location (as is the case at the site) is to be considered as a controlled activity in accordance with rule 5.2.5.5 of the WRP.

In this instance, it is considered appropriate that based upon the low risk nature of the cleanfilling activities, consideration of any relevant effects occurs under the discretionary provisions of the proposed land disturbance/earthworks application.

3.2 Stormwater

While the proposed Stage 2 and 3 development areas include existing development surfaces, stormwater reticulation and a discharge to the Koromatua Stream, the catchment will be subject to significant re-development activities including installation of new stormwater reticulation and new discharge outlets. The discharge of stormwater from the redeveloped site will occur from an urban catchment area in excess of 1ha (approximately 24ha) and thus cannot comply with WRP permitted activity requirements. The activity thus requires resource consent authorisation as a discretionary activity pursuant to rule 3.5.11.8 of the WRP.

3.3 Boardwalk/Bridge Structures

Rule 4.2.8.1 of the WRP permits new bridge structures where they do not exceed a single span length of 10m and where the soffit (underside of the bridge beams) is at least 0.5 metres higher than the top of the banks of the river bed, or at least 0.5 metres above the 1 in 50 year flood level, whichever is the lowest. Considering the recently constructed pedestrian bridge, the bridge is noted as having a single span length of approximately 12m and thus is unable to comply with the above permitted activity standards in relation to a maximum 10m span length. Furthermore, while the bridge soffit level is established as being above the 1 in 100 year flow level, the design level is still unable to meet the above standard in relation to 0.5m clearance above the 1 in 50 year level with this level specified within the SMP at RL 37.42m and with the bridge soffit located at RL 37.64m (i.e only 0.22m clearance of the 50 year flow).

Doc # 9728472 Page 14

Considering the recently constructed boardwalk stream channel crossing structures, these structures have been identified as being constructed with a soffit level which is just above the typical winter flow level with these structures designed to overtop during larger winter flows, with overtopping having already occurred twice over the 2016 winter period. In this respect, the boardwalk structures are unable to comply with both the permitted (rule 4.2.8.1) and controlled (4.2.8.2) activity standards in relation to maintaining a soffit level above the top of the banks of the river bed, or at least 0.5 metres above the 1 in 50 year flood level. Bridge structures which are unable to comply with these standards are to be considered as a restricted discretionary activity in accordance with rule 4.2.8.3 of the WRP. It is acknowledged that the bridge/boardwalk structures were constructed unintentionally without the necessary resource consent authorisations during the Stage 1 development works. Hence, the consents sought for these structures are accordingly acknowledged as being of a retrospective nature.

3.4 Other Consents

Drain Diversion As the existing drain running along the eastern site boundary, which will be subject to diversion activities, comprises an artificial farm drainage channel with a catchment less than 200ha (being approximately 20ha), the proposed diversion activities are considered to be provided for as a permitted activity in accordance with rule 3.6.4.8 of the WRP. Nonetheless, any potential effects of undertaking these diversion activities are addressed within the earthworks section of the assessment of effects outlined in section 8 of the AEE.

Hamilton City Council Consent authorisation is required from the Hamilton City Council under the district plan for a variety of activities associated with the proposed Stage 2 and 3 development activities including the Church College building removals, construction earthworks and eventual subdivision activities.

To date, land use approvals have been obtained to authorise the building removal and construction earthworks activities within the Stage 2 development area only. Additional land use consents for the Stage 3 works and the eventual subdivision consents for the new development lot creation will be pursued at a later date once further design details are known. However it is notable that the proposed development activities are in keeping with the Temple View Special Character zoning under the Proposed Hamilton City District Plan and are anticipated by HCC.

4 Consultation/Affected Party Approvals

4.1 Iwi

Significant consultation has been undertaken with local iwi group Ngati Mahanga including several site visits to ensure that they are kept informed of the proposed site developments.

During this consultation, iwi have previously outlined the discovery and relocation of six bodies during excavations associated with construction of the Mormon Temple in 1958. They confirmed that bodies relocated within the temple grounds were placed in graves on land adjacent to the existing temple entrance road and were marked by planting of fan palms. The grave location is outside the boundary of the proposed works.

No further items of cultural or spiritual significance have been identified by local iwi to date and on this basis, development activities have proceeded on site with no cultural/spiritual concerns. Consultation has again been undertaken with Ngati Mahanga in relation to the proposed development stages with no

Doc # 9728472 Page 15

concerns being raised during preliminary discussions. Copies of the development plans have also been forwarded for comment and a copy of any comments received will be forwarded to the WRC.

4.2 Other Parties

Hamilton City Council Significant consultation has been undertaken with Hamilton City Council (HCC) throughout the design process to ensure that they are aware of the proposed developments activities and are agreeable to the proposed infrastructural design particularly in regard to any assets which may be vested with HCC for long term operation and maintenance responsibilities. It is noted that through consultation undertaken to date, HCC have outlined a preference that all of the proposed reserve areas within the site are retained and maintained by the applicant rather than be vested with Council to avoid the responsibilities and costs associated with these areas. Consultation with HCC will be ongoing throughout the detailed design phase and implementation of the works will be undertaken in accordance with all requirements of HCC as specified through their consent conditions.

6 Statutory Considerations

The application was lodged on 5 December 2016 and therefore all amendments to the RMA apply, including the recently enacted parts of the 2013 Amendment Act. For the purposes of decision making the application is further assessed as a discretionary activity. It is also considered in accordance with section 104B and 104C of the Act which has regard to the determination of applications for discretionary and non-complying activities. Section 104 Consideration of Applications In summary, subject to Part 2 the following matters in Section 104(1) of the RMA are relevant to the consideration of the proposal. “(1) When considering an application for a resource consent and any submissions received, the consent authority must, subject to Part 2, have regard to –

a) any actual and potential effects on the environment of allowing the activity; and b) any relevant provisions of—

i. a national environmental standard: ii. other regulations: iii. a national policy statement: iv. a New Zealand coastal policy statement: v. a regional policy statement or proposed regional policy statement: vi. a plan or proposed plan; and

c) any other matter the consent authority considers relevant and reasonably necessary to determine the application.”

Doc # 9728472 Page 16

The following statutory instruments and policy documents have been considered in the evaluation of this application:

Resource Management Act (1991) (RMA);

The National Policy Statement for Freshwater Management 2014 (NPSFM);

The Waikato Regional Policy Statement (WRPS);

The Waikato Regional Plan (WRP); and,

Waikato-Tainui Raupatu (Waikato River) Settlement Claims Act 2010 Due consideration has been given to Section 104 of the RMA. The actual and potential effects have been discussed in the sections below along with measures being taken to avoid, remedy or mitigate these effects. Section 105 Furthermore, in relation to any discharge permits, Section 105(1) requires that the consent authority must have regard to a number of additional matters as follows:

“(1) If an application is for a discharge permit or coastal permit to do something that would contravene section 15 or section 15B, the consent authority must, in addition to the matters in section 104(1), have regard to—

(a) the nature of the discharge and the sensitivity of the receiving environment to adverse effects; and

(b) the applicant's reasons for the proposed choice; and

(c) any possible alternative methods of discharge, including discharge into any other receiving environment.

Section 107 Restriction on grant of certain resource consents Section 107(1) of the RMA restricts granting of certain discharge permits if, after reasonable mixing, the contaminants discharged are likely to give rise to any of the following effects in the receiving waters:

(c) the production of any conspicuous oil or grease films, scums or foams, or floatable or suspended materials:

(d) any conspicuous change in the colour or visual clarity: (e) any emission of objectionable odour: (f) the rendering of fresh water unsuitable for consumption by farm animals: (g) any significant adverse effects on aquatic life.

Existing environment Section 104(1)(a) provides that when considering a consent application, the consent authority must, subject to Part 2, have regard to the actual and potential effects on the environment of allowing the activity. The environment in this case has been extensively modified by land development, farming and drainage. Permitted baseline Section 104(2) provides that when forming an opinion about the actual or potential effects of the activity, the consent authority may disregard an adverse effect of the activity on the environment if the regional plan permits an activity with that effect. There are no permitted activity baseline effects relevant to the on-site wastewater discharge and as such none have been discounted.

6.1 Assessment of Environmental Effect

Having considered the nature of the proposal and the supporting information provided with the application, the actual and potential environmental effects to consider are those relating to:

Water quality effects from sediment discharges during earthworks;

Local air quality degradation from dust discharges;

Exotic weed invasion;

Archaeological and cultural effects.

Catchment hydrology and water quality and quantity effects from stormwater discharges post development;

Hydraulic effects of bridge/boardwalk structures; and

Ecological effects of the bridge/boardwalk structures.

6.1.1 Water Quality Effects from Sediment Discharges during the Earthworks

Soil disturbance activities increase the potential for erosion and destabilisation effects and have the potential to discharge sediment into waterways both during and after the works until the ground surface is stabilised. Sediment discharges to water can cause a range of adverse effects on fresh water ecosystems, including smothering aquatic life, damaging fish and invertebrates’ gills, destruction of spawning grounds, and the deposition of nutrients to waterways. Increased turbidity can interfere with aquatic animal’s abilities to feed due to poor visibility and reduced light penetration can reduce photosynthetic activity. Although the site is relatively flat, the proposed bulk earthworks to place fill, construct the wetlands and expose soil as part of the site preparation has the potential to discharge sediment during rain events into the surrounding drainage networks and eventually into the Koromatua Stream if proper sediment and erosion controls are not in place. The applicant has provided an ‘Erosion and Sediment Control Plan’ (ESCP) as prepared by Bloxam Burnett & Olliver Ltd, which outlines the high level concepts that will be undertaken to control and mitigate any potential adverse effects from earthworks activities. The ‘Erosion and Sediment Control Plan’ has been assessed by Waikato Regional Council (WRC) staff, who consider that the plan has been prepared in general accordance with WRC’s publication, ‘Erosion and Sediment Control – Guidelines for Soil Disturbing Activities, January 2009’. The ESCP contains sufficient detail to enable Stage 2 development works (including the burrow pit area) to be undertaken within this upcoming 2016/17 earthworks season. The intention is to provide an updated ESCP for the future Stage 3 development works prior to their start, however it is considered that the current ESCP has enough detail to enable a preliminary assessment at this time. A condition of consent has been included in the attached resource consent certificate to this affect. The applicant is proposing to utilise the existing erosion and sediment control devices on site as well as incorporating the proposed stormwater wetland excavation ponding areas which will act as SRP devices during the construction period. Stage 2 The applicant has divided the Stage 2 works into 2 sub-catchments. The smaller existing catchment of 1.2 ha located at the south western corner of the site has existing drainage and the future earthworks runoff going to an existing swale SRP which was recently formed to treat runoff from this catchment area. The swale SRP has been previously approved by WRC staff and has been oversized for this contributing catchment with a volume of 421 m3 being 3.5% of the catchment. The second sub-catchment is the balance of Stage 2 which comprises the lower part of the area with much of it already exposed as part of the pre-loading activities associated with Legacy Park and

Doc # 9728472 Page 18

approved by WRC staff. An existing SRP (SRP 1) has been constructed at the eastern boundary of the site. The SRP 1 has a design catchment of 3.8 ha with a volume of 761 m3 and the applicant proposes to continue to make use of SRP 1 as the main treatment device for the Stage 2 earthworks. However, due to cutting activities proposed on the lower slopes along with filling/pre-loading extending across the lower site, the catchment area will increase to 5.97 ha. Therefore, the applicant is proposing to use the future excavated stormwater wetland ponds (Wetlands 2 and 3) footprint areas, to be located either side of the current SRP 1, as additional storage volume for treatment. Any discharges from these excavations will be configured to ensure they overflow to the SRP 1 forebay only. This is considered acceptable to WRC staff. The applicant is proposing to strip topsoil from the site to establish perimeter bunding around each stage of works to prevent clean water entering the works areas and will divert all sediment laden runoff to the treatment devices discussed above prior to discharging into the outlet drain. The proposed earthworks associated with the drain diversion and enhancement works will consist of damming and diverting methodology for each stage of the drain enhancement works. Sandbags or compacted aggregate are proposed to be positioned across the drain at the southeastern corner of the playing fields. Catchment flows are to be pumped around the works area to create a dry working area with provision for a Decanting Earth Bund (DEB) at the base of the works for treatment of runoff. Works will take place during the summer low flow conditions and will commence from the upstream end working downstream to minimise disturbance. As sections are completed the sides will be stabilised with pinned coconut matting or mulch. Upon completion the temporary dam structures will be removed to liven flows through the new channel. The applicant is proposing to undertake the Borrow Area works as part of the Stage 2 works. The Borrow Area is to be divided into 2 separate catchments along the ridgeline running through the centre of the site. Topsoil is to be stripped and used as perimeter bunding and an SRP constructed at the low point for each catchment to treat all runoff before discharging to the downstream receiving environments. The applicant has considered the use of flocculants for the Borrow Area of works. However, considers that based on the low gradient nature of the other stages of the site and the experience with the white soils within the site, it is unlikely that provision of flocculation treatment will be required for Stages 2 and 3. However, the applicant will use flocculation as a contingency if required. I have included a condition of consent in the attached certificate requiring the applicant to undertake bench testing of the soils to determine the effectiveness of flocculant treatment prior to bulk works commencing at the Borrow Area. If the bench testing results determine the soils suitable, a Flocculation Management Plan shall be prepared by a specialist consultant and submitted for approval prior to the commencement of bulk earthworks. I have also included a further condition of consent in the attached certificate to this affect. Stage 3 The proposed Stage 3 earthworks will comprise the largest stage of works on the site at 15.3 ha. It is expected that the works will again be relatively straight forward and will be managed through a similar methodology as discussed for the Stage 2 works. It is proposed that topsoil will be stripped from the site in various sub-stages of development and used as perimeter bunds or stockpiled. All stockpiles will be located within SRP catchment boundaries. The excavation of Wetland 4 in the north eastern corner of the site will then be undertaken as this will act as an interim SRP for the entire Stage 3 earthworks. Based on using the WRC guideline criteria of a 3% SRP volume for the contributing catchment, a volume capacity of 4500 m3 would be required. However, the proposed volume of the excavated wetland area has a design volume of 2443 m3 which is 2000 m3 short to meet the SRP guideline criteria. The applicant considers that given the nature of the

Doc # 9728472 Page 19

large earthworks catchment with a long low gradient over flat surfaces which will allow adequate potential for sediment to drop out before reaching the Wetland 4 SRP. Again, this has been discussed with the WRC Earthworks Monitoring Officer for the site who is comfortable with this proposed methodology given his experience with the Stage 1 earthworks associated with the site. The applicant is proposing a number of additional measures such as silt fencing, contour drains, drop structures, settlement pits , and additional excavation for additional SRP volume as contingency measures as part of Stage 3 works. These will be discussed in more detail as part of the detailed ESCP to be submitted prior to the Stage works commencing. Provided the proposed soil disturbance activities are undertaken in accordance with the Waikato Regional Council publication ‘Erosion and Sediment Control Guidelines for Soil Disturbing Activities, January 2009’, and as per the ‘Erosion and Sediment Control Plans’ for each stage of works as the development progresses, I consider that the actual and potential adverse soil disturbance effects will be temporary and no more than minor. I have also recommended a series of conditions to minimise and/or avoid adverse effects on water quality including the implementation of additional erosion and sediment control measures. It should be noted that ultimately the success of any erosion and sediment controls will require comprehensive planning and regular inspections and maintenance of sediment/erosion control devices. To avoid fuel discharges entering any downstream water body during the proposed works, conditions have been included requiring that all machinery is operated in a manner which ensures spillages of fuel, oil and similar contaminants do not eventually enter the downstream Koromatua Stream.

6.1.2 Local Air Quality Degradation from Dust Discharges during Earthworks

Sites where ground cover is removed and soil disturbed have the potential to discharge dust. The severity of dust discharges are determined by factors such as wind strength, soil type, size of area exposed and moisture content of soil. Some of the adverse effects, which can result from dust discharges include:

Potential health effects from breathing dust particles.

Nuisance effects, which can result from dust settling on surfaces such as cars, houses and household washing.

Visibility effects, which can result from dust clouds moving offsite.

Effects on plants, which can result from dust deposits. These effects can include reduced palatability of pasture and reduced photosynthesis due to reduced light penetration.

The applicant has identified that that although they own the majority of the surrounding land which is primarily rural, there is a residential subdivision on the western side of Tuhikaramea Road and therefore there is potential for adverse effects to occur. As a result, the applicant has prepared a Dust Management Plan (DMP) included in Appendix F of the AEE. The plan includes specific dust suppression mitigation measures such as:

Staging of earthworks – it is noted that while the entire earthworks area is significant the entire area will not be open at any one time with the works likely to be undertaken in a number of much smaller, separate sub-stages over a number of years;

Progressive stabilisation of earthworks – the majority of the proposed earthworks are considered to be reasonably straight forward and should happen quickly with completed surfaces being progressively stabilised as the design contours are achieved;

Doc # 9728472 Page 20

Control vehicle/machinery usage – restricting speed on site, locating haul roads appropriately, stabilising haul routes if necessary, covering trailers and ensuring all vehicles are clean prior to exiting the site;

Monitoring dust risk – close monitoring of weather forecasts to anticipate any dry/windy conditions and programming works appropriately over these periods to minimise dust mobilisation;

Dust suppression – provision of watercarts on site to suppress dust in the event that dry/windy conditions are anticipated. Suitable water supply options are available at the site for this purpose;

Contingency dust control – ceasing works or application of immediate dust suppressant products including polymer, hydroseed or similar as required;

Targeted dust control – intensification of dust control methods when working in proximity to any sensitive receivers.

I consider that provided the proposed dust mitigation measures are implemented as per the DMP discussed above then the potential adverse effects of dust discharges will be temporary and no more than minor. I have included a condition in the attached consent to this effect.

6.1.3 Exotic Weed Invasion

The proposed earthworks and vegetation clearance will provide conditions for invasive weeds to become established on exposed surfaces during and after construction. Machinery brought onto the site to undertake earthworks and vegetation clearance could potentially carry plant matter and/or seeds, which could result in the introduction of new weed species in the area. This is a potential detrimental impact as weeds may threaten the ecological integrity of the surrounding indigenous vegetation. I recommend that all machinery brought onsite is first cleaned to remove any plant matter and/or seeds. I have proposed a condition of consent in the attached certificate regarding washing of machinery. On this basis, I consider that the risk of exotic weed invasion will be adequately avoided.

6.1.4 Cultural and Archaeological Effects

As previously described, there are no registered archaeological sites located within the proposed Stage 2/3 development area. Nonetheless, the historic discovery of bodies during construction of the Mormon Temple and references to a maori village having been located within the vicinity of the site creates the potential for further discoveries during site development. Thus, it is considered appropriate that should historical artefacts or koiwi be discovered over the course of the proposed earthworks activities, appropriate procedures and protocols are followed including notification of local iwi and the New Zealand Historic Places Trust and ceasing all works in the vicinity of the discovery until they have been removed. Furthermore, local iwi group Ngati Mahanaga have been consulted extensively throughout the previous development stages and for the current stage of works with no specific cultural or spiritual concerns being raised. Waikato Regional Council has standard consent conditions relating to circumstances where unidentified archaeological sites are discovered. I consider that these conditions will ensure that appropriate procedures/protocols are followed. In the event that previously unidentified archaeological sites are discovered and not covered under the HNZ General Authorisations, there may be requirements for further General Authorisations imposed by the HNZ. The inclusion of these conditions does not preclude the use of other protocols if agreed between the applicant and iwi, however, they do provide a minimum standard to be followed.

6.1.5 Catchment Hydrology and Water Quality Effects Post Development

Urbanisation, development of greenfield site areas and the way in which stormwater management is incorporated into the design of developing catchments, will significantly influence catchment hydrology in the post development situation. Essentially it is the loss of pervious surface area and the piping of stormwater to surface waters that result in reduced rates of groundwater infiltration and recharge, and greater volumes of runoff being discharged from developed catchments. These changes often result in the lowering of groundwater tables, extreme dry and wet weather flow fluctuations in surface waters, and an overall limiting effect in the ability of surface waters to support aquatic life. In addition to these effects, increased stormwater volumes and peak rates of discharge can result in adverse flooding hazards, stream channel scouring and erosion and diminished receiving water health through reduced ecosystem viability, habitat availability and downstream sedimentation effects. These effects are particularly common in urban catchments that have inappropriately designed stormwater management systems, or no particular management system (the widespread historical situation in existing urban catchments). Stormwater runoff from roads and impervious areas are known to contain contaminants such as metals, hydrocarbons and sediment. A number of these contaminants, if allowed to enter the environment, will accumulate in the sediments of the receiving environment and may reach levels that are toxic to biota. The highest potential source of contaminants from roading surfaces are heavy metals and hydrocarbons from tyre/brake wear, exhaust fumes and fuel/lubricant leaks onto road surfaces. Other catchment contaminants can include gross pollutants (i.e rubbish) and sediments from associated development and sports fields as well as nutrient input from gardening/landscaping activities and possible sewer overflows/illegal connections. As contaminants often become attached to sediment particles, removal of suspended sediment provides partial treatment of stormwater. As discussed in Section 2 of this report, the applicant is proposing to manage stormwater in accordance with the document titled ‘Sub Catchment Integrated Catchment Stormwater Management Plan (SMP)- December 2015’ included within Appendix G of the AEE. Environmental Engineer Ms Megan Wood (Wainui Consulting Ltd) has undertaken an assessment of the stormwater management design on behalf of Waikato Regional Council and provided a comprehensive analysis of the proposal below (technical report dated 19/12/16 doc ref# 9727592). Water Quality Ms Wood has reviewed the proposed water quality treatment design and considers that with the inclusion of sedimentation tanks, 80% wetland planting and storage of the full water quality volume, the wetlands are considered to have been designed to provide water quality treatment in accordance with TP10. Water quantity The SMP has included modelling of the pre and post development runoff scenarios for the entire site. Due to the relatively developed nature of the pre-developed scenario, the proposed re-development activities do not result in significant increases in total impervious surfaces above which were currently there, hence attenuation requirements for the re-development proposal are not significant. The proposed stormwater management measures result in a net reduction in flows to the Tuhikaramea Stream when comparing post to pre-development scenarios for the 2, 50 and 100 year ARI events. Channel erosion Generally the channel forming flows are the smaller, more frequent rain events like the 1.5 and 2 year ARI events. The impacts of development are generally from higher peak flows and longer duration of peak flow. The hydrographs for the Koromatua Stream catchment have been compared for the pre and

Doc # 9728472 Page 22

post development conditions at the Tuhikaramea Road culvert outfall (section 7.2 of the Temple View SMP). Comparison indicates little change in the hydrographs, with the modelled peak flow reduced and the overall peak flow duration estimated to increase by 0.5hr – which does not constitute a significant increase. Analysis Hydrologic and hydraulic models have been developed by the applicant using EPA SWMM-5 a USEPA software package that allows dynamic wave routing for reticulated system design and estimating the effectiveness of water quality treatment devices. The applicant has used SWMM to estimate and route stormawter flows, size reticulation, and to develop the outlet characteristics and storage relationship of the four ponds. Ms Wood considers the SMP demonstrates that the overall effect of the proposed site re-development on the hydrology of the Koromatua Stream downstream of Tuhikaramea Road is less than minor.

6.1.6 Hydraulic Effects of Bridge/Boardwalk Structures

If not appropriately designed, bridge/boardwalk structures have the potential to hinder flows during flood events, causing water to back up behind the structures leading to flooding of upstream and surrounding land. However, as discussed the applicant owns all the surrounding land and therefore any adverse effects of flooding would all be on the applicant’s land. Ms Wood has also undertaken an assessment of the structures in terms of their potential hydraulic effects which is discussed below. Boardwalk As previously discussed, the boardwalks have been designed to overtop during larger catchment flow events without posing any significant impediments to the low gradient catchment flows. The boardwalk has been designed to have a deck level only just above the normal stream flow levels. The boardwalk comprises pile structures, a deck level and steel balustrades at stream crossing points which could present impediment to catchment flows resulting in backwater flooding effects and potential damage occurring to the structure and the stream/pond. The stream crossing points are the main location where issue could arise, this is at three locations. The application states that the deck level has been set at RL36.5m, only 0.5m above typical flow levels. At this level the structures are located within the 2 year flood levels and have been observed to be inundated twice during the 2016 winter period. The balustrades extend 1m above deck level hence could capture debris. The applicant advises the boardwalk design engineers have confirmed that the structures have been designed in accordance with best structural engineering practices with deep pile and secure fixings to avoid structural damage or mobilization of components during flood events. The boardwalk has been designed to allow for overtopping during flood events. The applicant notes that there are several upstream farm culverts which would throttle flows before they arrive at the site. Hence during flood events, flood flows which exceed channel capacity would already occur as wide spread, low velocity inundation of the surrounding pasture as flows back up behind the various instream structures or channel blockages. This type of flood progression is unlikely to cause damage to the in-stream structures. The applicant also notes that debris flow is unlikely due to the upstream land uses. Based on the information provided by the applicant, Ms Wood considers that the potential hydraulic effects associated with the boardwalk are considered to be no more than minor.

Doc # 9728472 Page 23

Bridge The bridge has a clearance above the predicted 100 year ARI flood level of 40mm. Ideally a larger clearance would be provided above the 100 year flood level to allow for debris flow, however in the case of this site, it is a fairly small upstream catchment comprising predominantly farm land hence debris shouldn’t be too much of an issue. The bridge will be a private asset and if any problems manifest the applicant will need to manage them. As noted in the application previously the stream was piped for 250m, hence the daylighting of the stream and provision of a bridge is a significant improvement on the pre-developed stream condition. Based on the information provided by the applicant, Ms Wood considers that the design of the bridge structure is considered acceptable.

6.1.7 Ecological Effects of Bridge/Boardwalk Structures

The constructed bridge/boardwalk structures are located within the recently constructed stream channel section which previously combined either a straightened drainage channel or piped channel section. As part of the previous Stage 1 works, the applicant ‘day lighted’ this channel section by replacing it with a large on-line pond structure which is subject to extensive riparian planting to maximise both landscape and habitat values resulting in significantly enhanced ecological values than the pre-development drainage system. The new pedestrian bridge structure is elevated well above stream flows with plantings extending directly up tot eh bridge on all channel sides. The boardwalk structures include piles directly within the flows at approximately 1.5 m spacings. However the structures are not considered to be creating any adverse effects upon stream ecological values with fish passage being maintained through the site and with the entire stream channel area upstream and downstream of the structures being subject to riparian plantings. Koromatua Stream Enhancement The applicant is currently proposing a number of future enhancements of the Koromatua Stream catchment which will include:

Stream enhancement works in two separate stages: Stage 1 - Lake Koromatua to Legacy Park, 1.5km, 2017 and Stage 2 – Tuhikaramea Road to Wood Road, 1.2km, timing TBC;

Channel modifications including floodplain cut outs, bank battering and realignment to increase channel morphology/sinuosity;

Installation of channel habitat enhancement and erosion protection measures such as root wads, woody debris and artificial habitat enhancement measures; and

Riparian planting and fencing to maximize channel stabilisation and habitat values.

It’s noted that the upper portion of the stream in the vicinity of the proposed wetlands has mature trees located along its banks. Removal of these trees will result in some effects to the watercourse. The applicant is recommended to consider opportunities to keep some of these mature trees along the stream’s length and include them in the riparian planting plan as they provide a good level of shade and habitat. There is a grove of young kahikatea trees on the Temple View side of the proposed borrow pit area. At the time of the WRC site visit it was thought that these trees would be removed as some re-contouring would be undertaken in this location. It is recommended that the applicant considering keeping these kahikatea trees, or if they are to be removed that they are planted elsewhere on the site.

Doc # 9728472 Page 24

It is understood that some funding has been approved by WRC to contribute towards the stream enhancement works with the applicant funding the balance of works associated with the design and implementation.

6.2 Policy Statements, Plans and Regulations

6.2.1 National environment standards

As of June 2010 there are five NES’s that have come into effect - the National Environmental Standards for Air Quality (where various standards have been in effect since October 2004); Sources of Human Drinking Water; Electricity Transmission Activities; Telecommunication Facilities; and Assessing and Managing Contaminants in Soil to Protect Human Health. Only one NES is relevant to this application. National Environmental Standard for Sources of Human Drinking Water In terms of the stormwater discharge activity associated with this consent process, I have reviewed WRC’s Smart Maps database and can confirm there are no registered drinking water supplies immediately downstream of the location of the proposed discharge activity.

6.2.2 Other regulations

There are no other regulations considered relevant to this consent process

6.2.3 National policy statements (including NZ Coastal Policy Statement)

National Policy Statement for Freshwater Management 2014 The Freshwater Management NPS has policies and objectives that direct local government to manage water in an integrated and sustainable way while providing for economic growth within specified water quality and quantity limits. The NPS requires regional councils to develop standards to safeguard the life supporting capacity of water bodies, with the objective that water quality will be maintained or improved. This will involve protection of high quality water bodies and implementation of methods to improve degraded water bodies. In the interim, when considering consent applications regional councils must have regard for any effects (actual or cumulative) that contaminants contained in the discharge may have on freshwater and fresh water ecology. The principle of adopting best practicable options in order to minimise effects is included in the decision making process under this policy. As the discharge consent sought is considered to be a minor activity, it is my opinion that should the application be granted, it will not be contrary to the Freshwater NPS. The NZ Coastal Policy Statement is not relevant to this application.

6.2.4 Regional Policy Statement

The RPS is a high-level broad-based document containing objectives and policies the purpose of which is to provide an overview of the resource management issues of the region and to achieve integrated management of the natural and physical resources of the Region. Key issues in the RPS relating to this proposal are the state of resources (Issue 1.1), effects of climate change (Issue 1.2), managing the built environment (Issue 1.4), and the relationship of tangata whenua with the environment (Issue 1.5). There are a number of overlapping objectives under each of these relevant to this proposal. These are listed as follows:

Integrated management of natural and physical resources (Objective 3.1);

Decision making (Objective 3.3);

Health and wellbeing of the Waikato River (Objective 3.4);

Relevant policies include integrated management (Policy 4), air (Policy 5), built environment (Policy 6), fresh water bodies (Policy 8), Indigenous biodiversity (Policy 11), Landscape (including seascapes), natural character and amenity (Policy 12), and soils (Policy 14). I consider that the application is consistent with the objectives and policies of the operative Regional Policy Statement.

6.2.5 Regional Plan

The Waikato Regional Plan (“WRP”) is operative. The purpose of regional plans is to help the Council carry out its functions under s30 of the RMA.

Section 3.1.2 – Water Resources Objective

The management of water bodies in a way which ensures:

that people are able to take and use water for their social, economic and cultural wellbeing

net improvement of water quality across the Region

the avoidance of significant adverse effects on aquatic ecosystems

the characteristics of flow regimes are enhanced where practicable and justified by the ecological benefits, and otherwise maintained

the range of foreseeable uses of ground and surface water are protected

inefficient use of the available ground and surface water resources is minimised

an increase in the extent and quality of the Region’s wetlands

that significant adverse effects on the relationship tangata whenua as Kaitiaki have with water and their identified taonga such as waahi tapu, and native flora and fauna that have customary and traditional uses in or on the margins of water bodies, are remedied or mitigated

the cumulative adverse effects on the relationship tangata whenua as Kaitiaki have with water and their identified taonga such as waahi tapu, and native flora and fauna that have customary and traditional uses that are in or on the margins of water bodies are remedied or mitigated

the management of non-point source discharges of nutrients, faecal coliforms and sediment to levels that are consistent with identified purpose and values for which the water body is being managed

the natural character of the coastal environment, wetlands, and lakes and rivers and their margins, (including caves) is preserved and protected from inappropriate use and development

ground water quality is maintained or enhanced and ground water takes managed to ensure sustainable yield

Doc # 9728472 Page 26

shallow ground water takes do not adversely affect values for which any potentially affected surface water body is managed

concentrations of contaminants leaching from land use activities and non-point source discharges to shallow ground water and surface waters do not reach levels that present significant risks to human health or aquatic ecosystems.

Section 3.2.3 Management of Water Resources Policy 4: Waikato Region Surface Water Class

Section 3.5.3 Discharges

Policy 1: Enabling Discharges to Water that will have only Minor Adverse Effects

Policy 7: Stormwater Discharges

Section 4.2.2 – River and Lake Bed Management:

According to section 4.2.1 of the WRP, the use, erection, reconstruction, placement, alteration, extension, removal or demolition of structures in, on, under or over the beds of rivers and lakes may:

adversely affect bed stability water quality, aquatic habitats, migration of fish, flow regimes and natural character of river and lake beds

increase the risk of flooding or obstruct navigation

adversely affect the relationship tangata whenua as Kaitiaki have with their taonga, such as waahi tapu, native flora and fauna and access to customary fisheries.

Consequently, objective 4.2.2 of the plan states that these activities must be managed in a manner that:

produces a net reduction in the adverse effects of the destabilisation of river and lake beds

does not have adverse effects on water quality, flow regimes, aquatic ecosystems and wetlands that are inconsistent with Water Management Objective 3.1.2

does not obstruct fish passage for trout and indigenous fish to complete their life cycle

protects natural character of river and lake beds

there is no increase in the adverse effects of flooding

avoids obstruction to navigation

remedies or mitigates adverse effects of existing structures on the relationship tangata whenua as Kaitiaki have with identified taonga, such as waahi tapu, native flora and fauna and access to their customary fisheries

avoids significant adverse effects of new structures on the relationship tangata whenua as Kaitiaki have with identified taonga, such as waahi tapu, native flora and fauna and access to customary fisheries

remedies or mitigates cumulative adverse effects on the relationship tangata whenua as kaitiaki have with their identified taonga, such as waahi tapu, native flora and fauna and access to their customary fisheries.

Section 4.2.3 – Policy 2

The plan promotes the sustainable management of structures in relation to rivers and lakes with the Policy 2 'Management of Structures':

Doc # 9728472 Page 27

Control through resource consents the use, erection, reconstruction, placement, alteration, extension, removal or demolition of those structures in, on, under or over river and lake beds that: (a) cause or accentuate the significant adverse effects of destabilisation of the beds and banks of rivers

and lakes, or (b) have the potential to cause significant adverse effects on water quality, flow regimes and aquatic

ecosystems in a manner that is inconsistent with the policies in Section 3.2.3 of this Plan, or (c) occur in natural state areas as identified in the Water Management Class Maps of this Plan, or (d) obstructs fish passage for trout and indigenous fish, or (e) may cause significant adverse effects on the natural character of river and lake beds (including

caves), or (f) increase the adverse effects of flooding on neighbouring properties, or (g) cause obstruction to navigation, or (h) cause significant adverse effects on the relationship tangata whenua as Kaitiaki have with river and

lake beds, or (i) cause cumulative adverse effects.

In my opinion the effects of the outlet structure on the environment are likely to be no more than minor (see section 6 of this report). On this basis I consider the proposal to be consistent with the policies within the WRP, providing the outlet structure is installed and maintained in accordance with the conditions recommended in this report.

Section 5.1.2 – Accelerated Erosion Objective

“A net reduction of accelerated erosion across the Region so that:

soil productivity, versatility and capability is maintained

there are no adverse effects on water quality, aquatic ecosystems and wetlands that are inconsistent with Water Management Objective 3.1.2

there is no increase in the adverse effects of flooding or land instability hazards

accelerated infilling of lakes, estuaries, rivers, wetlands and cave systems is avoided and the rate of infilling of artificial watercourses, excluding structures designed to trap sediment, is minimised

significant adverse effects on the relationship tangata whenua as Kaitiaki have with their identified ancestral taonga such as ancestral lands, water and waahi tapu are avoided

cumulative adverse effects on the relationship tangata whenua as Kaitiaki have with their identified taonga such as ancestral lands, water, waahi tapu are remedied or mitigated

significant adverse effects on natural character and ecological values associated with land and the coastal environment including dune systems is avoided

there are no adverse effects on air quality that are inconsistent with Air Quality Objective 6.1.2, Objectives 2 and 3

damage to property and infrastructure is avoided

in particular in High Risk Erosion Areas….”

Section 5.1.3 Accelerated Erosion Policy 1: Managing Activities that Cause or Have the Potential to Cause Accelerated Erosion and Encouraging Appropriate Land Management Practices

Policy 2: Use of Regulatory and Non-Regulatory Approaches of Management for Soil Disturbance/Vegetation Clearance Activities in High Risk Erosion Areas.

Policy 3: Promote Good Practise.

Doc # 9728472 Page 28

6.1 Regional and Local Air Management Objective 2: No significant adverse effects from individual site sources on the characteristics of air quality beyond property boundary. The objectives and policies of the relevant sections of the WRP outlined above have been considered and assessed within the assessment of environmental effects carried out within section 8.1 of this report. This assessment has determined that based on the implementation of best practice erosion and sediment controls and dust management, the proposed activities will not result in any adverse environmental effects which are more than minor. In this respect it is considered that the proposed activities will not compromise values associated with water resources and air quality or result in accelerated erosion as outlined within the above objectives and policies and thus the proposed activities are considered to be consistent with the provisions of the Waikato Regional Plan. The Proposed Waikato Regional Plan Change 1 – Waikato and Waipa River Catchments (Healthy Rivers), has been publicly notified and therefore came into effect on 22 October 2016 and must be given regard to. I consider that the proposed mitigation measures to manage TSS are consistent with the policies and objectives of the proposed Plan Change. In assessing this application I have given regard to the above objectives and policies of the WRP. I consider that this proposal is consistent with the WRP, provided that the recommended consent conditions and requirements of the relevant rule are complied with.

Plan Rule/Objective

Waikato Regional Plan 5.1.4.15 - Discretionary Activity Rule - Soil Disturbance, Roading, Tracking, Vegetation Clearance, Riparian Vegetation Clearance in High Risk Erosion

Waikato Regional Plan 4.2.8.3 - Restricted Discretionary Activity Rule - Bridges

Waikato Regional Plan 3.5.11.8 - Discretionary Activity Rule - Discharge of Stormwater

6.3 Other Matters

Waikato-Tainui Environmental Plan The Waikato-Tainui Environmental Plan provides a background to, and identifies key, resource based issues for Waikato-Tainui. The plan sets out Waikato-Tainui’s vision statement for environmental and heritage issues and key strategic objectives such as tribal identity and integrity, including “to grow our tribal estate and manage our natural resources.” The plan is designed to enhance Waikato-Tainui participation in resource and environmental management. I have assessed this proposal against the objectives and outcomes within this plan and overall I consider that the proposal is consistent with this Iwi Environmental Plan. Overall, having assessed the environmental impacts of the activity, it is my opinion that the activity does not compromise the aims and objectives of the Waikato-Tainui Environmental Plan.

6.4 Waikato-Tainui Raupatu (Waikato River) Settlement Claims Act 2010 or Ngati Tuwharetoa, Raukawa, and Te Arawa River Iwi Waikato River Act 2010 or Nga Wai o Maniapoto (Waipa River) Act 2012

6.4.1 Vision and strategy As of 24 September 2010 Waikato Regional Council, in addition to any requirement specified in the RMA, must have particular regard to the vision and strategy (Schedule 2 of the Settlement Claims Act). These Acts apply to applications relating to the Waikato River; or activities in the catchment that affect the Waikato River.

Doc # 9728472 Page 29

The Vision and Strategy is the embodiment of the settlement act, and seeks to restore and protect the health and wellbeing of the Waikato River for future generations. The sections of the Vision and Strategy for which I have had particular regard in terms of this activity are:

a) the restoration and protection of the health and wellbeing of the Waikato River; e) the integrated, holistic and coordinated approach to management of the natural, physical, cultural and

historic resources of the Waikato River; g) The recognition and avoidance of adverse cumulative effects, of activities undertaken both within the

Waikato River and within its catchments on the health and wellbeing of the Waikato River; h) The recognition that the Waikato River is degraded and should not be required to absorb further

degradation as a result of human activities; i) The protection and enhancement of significant sites, fisheries, flora and fauna; k) The restoration of water quality within the Waikato River so that it is safe for people to swim in and take

food from over its entire length;

The Vision and Strategy forms part of the Proposed Waikato Regional Policy Statement and is given effect through the plans administered by Regional and territorial authorities along the river. The settlement also provides for joint management agreements between Waikato-Tainui and the local authorities; participation in river-related resource consent decision-making; recognition of a Waikato-Tainui environmental plan; provision for regulations relating to fisheries and other matters managed under conservation legislation and an integrated river management plan. I have included conditions on the attached schedule which aim to maintain the quality of water and to avoid remedy or mitigate any potential adverse effects on the Waikato River and its tributaries. Having given regard to the Waikato-Tainui Raupatu (Waikato River) Settlement Claims Act 2010, it is considered that the proposal is consistent with the Vision and Strategy document. 6.4.2 Customary activities There are no customary activities relevant to this consent process.

6.5 Protected Customary Rights and/or Customary Marine Titles (Marine and Coastal Act 2011 (Takutai Moana))

The application does not fall within an area where a customary marine right has come into effect or a protected customary rights order is sealed.

6.6 Relevant Part 2 Considerations

Part 2 of the Resource Management Act 1991 details the matters that must be considered for the sustainable management of natural and physical resources including matters of national importance, other matters, and the Treaty of Waitangi. The proposed activity has been considered in the context of the matters outlined in Part 2 of the Resource Management Act 1991 and in my opinion the activity does not compromise any of these issues and therefore the overall purpose of the Act.

7 Discussion/Conclusions

Bloxam Burnett & Olliver Ltd has made application for resource consents on behalf of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints to authorise earthworks and vegetation removal, diversion and discharge of stormwater, and to construct bridge structures in association with the redevelopment of the former Church College Campus in Temple View, Hamilton at or about map reference NZTM 1796326 E 5811649 N.

Doc # 9728472 Page 30

The main potential adverse environmental effects associated with the proposed works are considered to be:

Water quality effects from sediment discharges during earthworks;

Local air quality degradation from dust discharges;

Exotic weed invasion;

Archaeological and cultural effects.

Catchment hydrology and water quality and quantity effects from stormwater discharges post development;

Hydraulic effects of bridge/boardwalk structures; and

Ecological effects of the bridge/boardwalk structures. However, for the reasons outlined in section 6.1 of this report, I am satisfied that these adverse effects can be avoided, remedied or mitigated such that the adverse environmental effects associated with the works are likely to be minor. The overall proposal has been assessed in respect to their consistency with the objectives and policies of the Regional Council’s policies and plans, and the statutory provisions of the RMA. It has further been considered in accordance with sections 104B and 104C of the RMA which has regard to the determination of applications for discretionary or non-complying activities and restricted discretionary activities. Provided the activities are undertaken in accordance with the application for consent and subsequent supporting documentation, and the recommended consent conditions in the attached Resource Consent Certificates, I consider that they will not be inconsistent with Council’s policy and plans, or the statutory provisions of the RMA. For these reasons I recommend that consents be granted subject to the consent conditions in the attached Resource Consent Certificates.

Resource Consent AUTH137699.01.01 – 10 years (Earthworks);

Resource Consent AUTH137699.02.01 – 35 years (Stormwater Discharge); and

Resource Consent AUTH137699.03.01 – 35 years (Bed Structures – Bridge/boardwalk). The following considerations have been taken into account in recommending these terms:

The temporary nature of the soil disturbance activities;

The stormwater discharge is designed to be permanent;

The design of the stormwater management system;

The permanent and irreversible nature of the bridge/boardwalk structures;

The various proposed mitigation measures and ongoing monitoring requirements;

The actual and potential adverse effects of the proposed activities on the environment;

Consistency with Regional Council policies, objectives and plans;

Consistency with the purpose and principals of the RMA; and

Waikato Regional Council’s internal guidelines for consent duration.

8 Monitoring

The Waikato Regional Council has a statutory obligation under section 35 of the RMA (1991) to monitor the effects of resource consents being exercised it its region. Waikato Regional Council staff and/or its authorised agents will therefore monitor the proposed activities throughout the term of consent. With regard to the soil disturbance activities, it is recommended that the applicant ensures that all erosion and sediment controls at the site are regularly inspected and in good working order prior to, and

Doc # 9728472 Page 31

immediately after rain events, and that these controls are maintained to achieve optimal sediment capture efficiency at all times. It is recommended that the consent holder undertakes regular monitoring and maintenance of the stormwater system (inclusive of all stormwater management devices, and in particular the wetland ponds) to ensure optimum stormwater treatment is achieved at all times. With respect to the wetland ponds and the drain diversion riparian enhancement, it is recommended that ongoing maintenance of planted areas is undertaken to ensure plants become well established and replaced when needed. All costs associated with monitoring are recovered from the consent holder on a reasonable and actual basis.

9 Recommended Decision

I recommend that in accordance with s104B and 104C resource consents AUTH137699.01.01, AUTH137699.02.01, and AUTH137699.03.01 be granted in accordance with the duration and conditions prescribed in the attached Resource Consent Certificates for the following reasons:

The activities will have no more than minor actual or potential adverse effects on the environment

The activities are not contrary to any relevant plans or policies

The activities are consistent with the purpose and principles of the Resource Management Act 1991

These records shall be provided to the Waikato Regional Council on request.

Sampling

29. If requested in writing by the Waikato Regional Council the consent holder shall take samples of the discharges from all sediment retention ponds on the site a minimum of once per month and after all rainfall events greater than 20 millimetres in the preceding 24 hours, excepting times when there are no discharges. The consent holder shall take the samples within four hours of becoming aware of a rainfall event greater than 20 millimetres in the preceding 24 hours.

Advice Note: The purpose of this condition is to provide an opportunity for pond discharge sampling to be required if either flocculants are being used due to potential overdosing pH/Al issues, or where the discharge from a pond is not acceptable and actions are required (potentially including the use of flocculants) to resolve that situation.

30. Within one working day of taking any samples required, the consent holder shall have those samples analysed for suspended solids and turbidity and (if flocculants are being used to treat any sediment retention pond) pH, and soluble aluminium. The results of the analysis shall be forwarded to the Waikato Regional Council within 7 days of analysis.

Doc # 9728472 Page 39

31. The consent holder shall ensure that the soluble aluminium concentration of any discharge from a sediment retention pond flocculated in accordance with a Flocculation Management Plan approved in accordance with condition 22, shall not exceed 0.2 grams per cubic metre.

32. The consent holder shall ensure that the pH of any discharge from a sediment retention pond flocculated in accordance with a Flocculation Management Plan approved in accordance with condition 22, shall not be less than 5.5 or greater than 8.5 pH units.

33. Any sampling required by this resource consent, the frequency of sampling, analyses and reporting may be altered or reduced with the written agreement of the Waikato Regional Council.

Discharges

34. The concentration of suspended solids in any downstream watercourse or water body shall not exceed 150 grams per cubic metre suspended solids concentration as a result of the exercise of this consent. This standard shall apply, except where the suspended solids concentration in the named water body, unaffected by the activity, is greater than the standard specified. When the concentration of suspended solids in the named water body, unaffected by the activity, exceeds 150 grams per cubic metre then there shall not be any increase in the suspended solids concentration in the named water body as a result of activities authorised by this consent.

Advice Note: When assessing compliance with this condition a minimum of three water samples should be collected: (a) upstream and unaffected by the activities authorised by this consent; (b) the point source discharge from the activities authorised by this consent; and (c) downstream after reasonable mixing.

Dust Discharges

35. All earthworks activities carried out on site shall be conducted and managed in such a manner as to ensure that all dust and particulate emissions are kept to a practical minimum to the extent that there are no dust discharges beyond the boundary of the site that cause an objectionable effect.

Advice Note: Chapter 6.4 of the Proposed Waikato Regional Plan provides guidance on the assessment of the effect of odour and dust emissions.

Archaeological

36. The consent holder shall ensure that the exercise of this resource consent does not disturb any sites of archaeological value or of cultural significance to Tangata Whenua. In the event of any archaeological artefacts being discovered the works shall, in the vicinity of the discovery, cease immediately and the Waikato Regional Council, Heritage New Zealand and representatives of local iwi (where artefacts are of maori origin) shall be notified within 24 hours. Works may recommence on the written approval of the Waikato Regional Council after considering:

a. Tangata Whenua interests and values; b. Protocols agreed upon by Tangata Whenua and the consent holder; c. The consent holders interests; d. Any Heritage New Zealand authorisations; and e. Any archaeological or scientific evidence.

Doc # 9728472 Page 40

The ‘As Built Certification Statements’ for each wetland shall be submitted to the Waikato Regional Council within 3 months of completion of the wetland construction works.

Stormwater Quantity and Receiving Environment

14. The consent holder shall manage the stormwater network to avoid as far as practicable and otherwise minimise, the following stormwater quantity effects:

a. Adverse scour, erosion and sediment deposition on land, property and the beds of stormwater receiving water bodies in particular the tributary of the Kirikiriroa Stream;

b. Adverse flooding of land, property and stormwater receiving water bodies; c. Adverse effects on aquatic ecosystems.

All such adverse effects that are more than minor shall be addressed in the manner provided for in Condition 15 hereof, where they have been caused by the stormwater diversion and discharge activities authorised by this consent.

Advice Note: Stormwater diversion and discharge activities in conjunction with urban land-use, can adversely affect flood potential by either limiting the rate at which stormwater drains from a catchment, or by increasing the rate and volume of discharge to downstream catchments. Whilst such effects are the subject of this consent, it is also recognised that ‘levels of service’ for flood alleviation in urban catchments are established by territorial authorities through separate statutory procedures and community consultation. The ‘levels of service’ that are established between the territorial authority and the community are not the subject of this resource consent.

15. As soon as practicable after becoming aware of any of the adverse effects of the nature specified in Condition 14 that are more than minor, the consent holder shall submit a report to the Waikato Regional Council in relation to the adverse effects. As a minimum, the report shall include:

a. A description of the adverse effects; b. A description of the cause of the adverse effects;

Doc # 9728472 Page 46

c. An explanation of any measures taken to remedy or mitigate the adverse effects, the outcome of those measures, and whether further measures are necessary and reasonably practicable;

d. If no measures have been taken in accordance with (c), a description of any reasonably practicable measures that could be taken to remedy or mitigate the adverse effects and a recommendation as to whether those measures are necessary.

The consent holder shall liaise with the Waikato Regional Council with a view to determining any reasonably practicable measures which should be taken to remedy or mitigate the adverse effects.

Advice Note: Separate resource consents may be required to undertake remedial or mitigation works. The consent holder is advised to obtain all such consents at its sole expense, prior to any works being undertaken.

Stormwater Quality and Receiving Environment

16. The consent holder shall manage the stormwater network to avoid as far as practicable and otherwise minimise, the discharge of any substance that is likely to cause the production of conspicuous oil, or grease films, scums or foams, or floatable suspended materials in stormwater receiving water bodies after reasonable mixing.

17. The consent holder shall manage the stormwater network to avoid as far as practicable and otherwise minimise, the discharge of suspended solids and any other substances that are likely to cause the following effects in stormwater receiving water bodies after reasonable mixing:

a. Conspicuous changes in colour or visual clarity; b. Increases in suspended solids concentrations by more than 10 percent; c. 100 grams per cubic metre suspended solids concentrations or greater.

Advice Note: For the purposes of this condition, the suspended solids discharge parameters referenced above shall only apply to the post development stormwater discharges authorised by this resource consent and do not apply to the earthworks activities which are authorised under a separate land disturbance resource consent.

18. The consent holder shall manage the stormwater network to avoid as far as practicable and otherwise minimise, the discharge of hazardous substances in concentrations that are likely to adversely affect aquatic life, or the suitability of water for human consumption after treatment. Where a question arises as to whether the concentration of any particular hazardous substance is causing these effects, it shall be determined through the application of the United States Environmental Protection Agency National Recommended Water Quality Criteria (USEPA, 2009) – Criteria Maximum Concentration, or any other technical publication approved in advance by the Waikato Regional Council in a technical certification capacity.

19. The consent holder shall manage the stormwater network to avoid as far as practicable and otherwise minimise, the discharge of micro-organisms in concentrations that are likely to adversely affect human health. Where a question arises as to whether the concentration of micro-organisms is adversely affecting human health, it shall be determined through the application of the Microbiological Water Quality Guidelines for Marine and Freshwater Recreational Areas (MfE, 2003), or any other technical publication approved in advance by the Waikato Regional Council in a technical certification capacity.

20. The consent holder shall manage the stormwater network to avoid as far as practicable and

Doc # 9728472 Page 47

otherwise minimise, discharges that are likely to adversely affect aquatic ecosystems and cause the following effects in the downstream watercourses of the Koromatua Stream Catchment after reasonable mixing:

a. Dissolved oxygen levels to fall below 80% of saturation;

b. pH to fall below 6 or exceed 9;

c. Suspended sediments to smother benthic organisms;

d. Undesirable biological growths;

e. Water temperature to change by more than 3 degree C or exceed 25 degree C;

f. Turbidity levels to exceed 25 NTU between the months of August and December;

g. Ammoniacal nitrogen concentrations to exceed 0.88 grams of nitrogen per cubic metre; and

h. Other contaminant concentrations to exceed the United States Environmental Protection Agency National Recommended Water Quality Criteria (USEPA, 2009) – Criteria Maximum Concentration.

21. The consent holder shall manage the stormwater network to avoid as far as practicable and otherwise minimise, the discharge of any contaminant that may affect the suitability of water for human consumption after treatment

22. All stormwater catchpits which connect to the stormwater network shall, as a minimum, be designed to capture and retain the majority of gross pollutants and floatable contaminants such as oil and grease, unless any discharges of floatable contaminants to the receiving environment would have no more than minor adverse effects.

Stormwater Treatment Devices

23. All stormwater treatment devices which form part of the stormwater network and are designed to attenuate and/or treat contaminated stormwater, shall be operated and maintained by the consent holder to provide best practicable stormwater treatment efficiency at all times.
