Submission on Proposed Plan Change 9 (TANK Catchments) to the Hawke’s Bay Regional Resource Management Plan
Ravensdown Limited (14 August 2020) 2
1. INTRODUCTION
Ravensdown Limited – Overview and Interests in the Hawke’s Bay Region
1.1 Ravensdown Limited (Ravensdown) is a farmer owned co-operative. Ravensdown’s goal is to enable smarter farming for a better New Zealand. Given this goal, Ravensdown provides products, namely fertiliser and agrochemicals (agrichemicals), expertise and technology to help farmers reduce environmental impacts and to optimise value, or outputs, from land.
1.2 Ravensdown, in deciding whether to participate in regional planning processes, considers whether the plan, or proposed plan change, will achieve the purpose of the Resource Management Act 1991 (RMA) while also evaluating whether the planning provisions will unduly constrain its own activities (i.e., manufacturing, store sites and quarries) and/or the users of their products (i.e., its farming shareholders).
1.3 In this context, the nature of Ravensdown’s interests in the Tūtaekurī, Ahuriri, Ngaruroro and Karamū (TANK) catchments includes the Napier Works at Awatoto , which manufactures a range of fertiliser products which are then supplied throughout the North Island and bulk stores in Napier (Severn Street and Napier Port). In addition, through Ravensdown Environmental, Ravensdown assists its shareholders and others to meet regional planning requirements through the provision of farm environment services, which include nutrient loss and mitigation modelling (including OVERSEER Nutrient Budgeting), Farm Environment Plan (FEP) development and associated resource consent planning services.
1.4 Given the nature of Ravensdown’s activities in the TANK catchment, Ravensdown seeks to ensure that the ‘Proposed Plan Change 9 - Tūtaekurī, Ahuriri, Ngaruroro and Karamū Catchments’ (PPC9) to the Hawke’s Bay Regional Resource Management Plan (HBRRP) promotes the sustainable management of natural and physical resources, in this instance, the land and water resources contained within TANK catchments. This includes the ability to continue to use and develop resources, including the rural land resource, while ensuring that adverse effects of activities are avoided, remedied or mitigated.
1.5 Given the above context, the provisions of PPC9 are of interest to Ravensdown given its activities within the TANK catchments and the nature of farming activities undertaken by its farming shareholders in the region, as outlined in paragraph 1.3 above. Therefore, in preparing this submission, Ravensdown has focussed on the proposed provisions that relate to their Napier Works site at Awatoto and its bulk stores as well to the provisions which apply to the farming activities undertaken by its farming shareholders within the catchments.
Overview of Submission
1.6 Ravensdown’s submission, given its key interests within the TANK catchments, including the potential implications of PPC9 to the farming community, generally supports PPC9 in terms of its intent to sustainably manage water quality and quantity within the TANK catchments.
1.7 This includes, in relation to farming activities, requiring the identification of actions, and timeframes, to contribute to meeting PPC9’s freshwater quality objectives, including of adoption of good (management) practices, either as part of an Industry Programme or Catchment Collective or via an individual FEP. The requirement for Industry Programmes,

Ravensdown Limited (14 August 2020) 3
Catchment Collectives and FEPs to be approved and audited, and for FEPs to be prepared by appropriately qualified professionals is also supported.
1.8 In the context of Ravensdown’s operations within the TANK catchments, namely its Napier Works and its Severn Street store, the regulatory framework which effectively recognises and provides these activities, including their resource use activities, is generally supported. This includes requiring such activities to contribute to the achievement of the freshwater quality objectives and reduce water quantity over-allocation is supported. In relation to discharges from such activities, the requirement to implement good site/industry practices is also considered appropriate, as is the need for new resource consents for existing water takes to seek an amount of water that reflects the actual and reasonable needs of such sites.
1.9 However, through these submissions, Ravensdown seeks amendments that enable Ravensdown, its shareholders and the users of its products to continue to use and develop resources in the catchments in a manner that continues to provide for the sustainable management of natural and physical resources, including the region’s land and water resource, while also ensuring that adverse effects on the environment are avoided, remedied or mitigated.
1.10 One of the areas where Ravensdown's submission points, as outlined in the table contained in Attachment A of this submission, is seeking changes relates to the fact that PPC9 is not consistent with the recently gazetted national instruments for healthy waterways, namely the National Policy Statement for Freshwater Management 2020, the National Environmental Standards for Freshwater and the associated regulations (e.g., the Resource Management (Stock Exclusion) Regulations 2020). Ravensdown is working hard with its shareholders to get buy-in into the obligations arising from the various national and regional statutory planning documents that are now coming into effect. For this to be successful, it is important that national consistency with these requirements is achieved where possible. While it is recognised that PPC9 was developed prior to the these national instruments coming into force, and while also recognising that these instruments do provide time for some of the provisions to be incorporated into relevant regional planning provisions, Ravensdown considers that where possible, and necessary, PPC9 provisions should be amended to align with these national planning instruments. Given this goal, amendments to PPC9 provisions are being sought by Ravensdown's submission in order to endeavour to achieve alignment with these national instruments.
1.11 Ravensdown’s submissions on PPC9 is structured as follows:
(a) Specific submission points on the provisions of PPC9 to the HBRRP are contained in the table provided in Attachment A;
(b) A conclusion, including the overarching reasons for the submission, is provided in Section 2.
2. CONCLUSION
2.1 Ravensdown generally supports PPC9, subject to the amendments requested to address the concerns raised within its submission. In relation to the provisions that Ravensdown has raised
Submission on Proposed Plan Change 9 (TANK Catchments) to the Hawke’s Bay Regional Resource Management Plan
Ravensdown Limited (14 August 2020) 4
concerns about, those provisions require amendment because, without amendment, those provisions:
(a) will not promote sustainable management of resources and will not achieve the purpose of the RMA;
(b) is contrary to Part 2 and other provisions of the RMA;
(c) will not enable the social and economic well-being of the community within the TANK catchments and thus the Hawke’s Bay region;
(d) will not meet the reasonably foreseeable needs of future generations;
(e) will not achieve integrated management of the effects of the use, development or protection of the region’s land and water resources;
(f) will not enable the efficient use and development of Ravensdown’s assets and operations, and of those resources which are dependent on, or benefit from, Ravensdown’s assets and operations; and
(g) do not represent the most appropriate means of exercising Council’s functions, having regard to the efficiency and effectiveness of the provisions relative to other means.
2.2 Ravensdown could not gain an advantage in trade competition through this submission.
2.3 Ravensdown wishes to be heard in support of its submissions.
2.4 If others are making a similar submission, Ravensdown will consider presenting a joint case with them at the hearing.
Date: 14 August2020

Proposed TANK Plan Change 9SupportOpposeAmend
I seek the following decision from the Regional Council:
In general, this submission opposes the 'Proposed Plan Change 9'.
The following issues of concern are:
1. Lack of consultation with tangata whenua along the Ngaruroro river; and also with tangata whenua at Papanui StreamPatangata.
P1 Background gives a sense that robust consultation with tangata whenua was conducted. This is not the case.
2. Restrictions on Land use and water activities:
2.1 Gravel extractions- Who do they service?
This activity impacts on the freshwater fish or resources.
There are several sites along the Ngaruroro River.
There are two National Standards in regards to this type of activity.
2.2 Speed boating activities on the river or lakes.
This type of activity not only disrupts the ecosystem, and the fresh water fish but also pollutes or carries foreign matterfrom other areas. Good example of this is the Rotorua and Taupo Lakes.
3. The taking of water from the Ngaruroro River.
Water levels in the Ngaruroro River was an all time low. Below Zero. HBRC failed to act before it reached this level.
I highly recommend that the resource consent application for the man-made lake in Maraekakaho and the one betweenMatapiro and Whanawhana be reviewed.
4. Resource Consent applications for lifestyle Blocks be restricted.
Reason for decision requested:I would like to speak further to these points and attempt to offer some resolutions for consideration.

I seek the following decision from the Regional Council:
1. support for Catchment groups, to set up and to operate, and to encourage the, to come together to shareideas and works closely with HBRC
2. support the effective operation of catchment groups to ensure they operate to their full potential
3. delete rule regarding 10% land use change as a trigger for consent
4. Maintain current 20m3 allowance for new water takes
5. Stock exclusion rules should match the new national standards.
Reason for decision requested:
1. catchment groups can spend a lot off time and energy during the setup process. We believe this could bestreamlined with HBRC assistance.
2. For Catchments groups to reach potential they will need guidance and science. HBRC can assist with fundingtowards appropriate science to ensure data collected is relevant and of use to drive change ( if needed)
3. Farms need to be able to quickly alter land use to respond to market and climate. (think 2020 drought) A 10%land use change rule, (if used to trigger a resource consent application) becomes a costly and limiting factorwith little benefit
4. To limit a take to 5m3/day is unworkable for the average farmer, especially as in many cases the current 20 m3 /day limit is insufficient. A basicoperation carrying 200 cattle through summer would consume approximately 5-6 m3 on their own without accounting for other livestock classes (e.g.sheep) or domestic use. This issue is particularly relevant as more farms move to exclude stock from water courses
5. National standards (although not perfect ) have clearly identified land parcels with rules where stock mustexcluded from waterways. This is easier to understand and comply with, than calculating a 15% slope onaverage in a paddock

Submission on proposed Plan Change 9: Hawke’s Bay Regional Resource Management Plan (HB RRMP)
Submitted by: Jamie Wheeler Date: 14 August 2020
No a whenua tawhiti oku tupuna, kua noho oku tangata ki Aotearoa, he pakeha matau. I noho au ki Papaioa, ka haere au ki Te Kura a Iwi o Ngati Kauwhata, Katahi ka noho au ki heretaunga inaianei, Ko Tracy Wheeler toku mama, Ko Bevin Wheeler toku papa, Ko Jamie ahau. I am a seventeen year old girl from Hastings. I want to have a say in what happens to the rivers that I love to swim in in summer. I’ve been learning about sustainability and kaitiakitanga. I want our Hawke’s Bay rivers to be sustainable for me and for future generations because I’m going to live here for the next sixty or seventy years.
I fully support Ngati Kahungunu Iwi Incorporated submission and the submissions from the people of Heretaunga marae and their recommendations to make the TANK plan a more sustainable way forward. I support them because they are the kaitiaki of this rohe, and they are the ones who have lived here the longest and deserve a significant say in what happens. They know what’s going on, and what’s working and not working. Please strongly consider what they have to say and modify the proposed Plan Change to include their recommendations. Their values, recommendations and view of things should be included because, as I said, they are the kaitiaki of this rohe. This means that they are the people who have a strong connection to the mauri of this land, and the rivers, and feel a cultural responsibility as tangata whenua, to look after this place. Ngati Kahungunu have mana and need to be heard.

Submission on Proposed Plan Change 9 (TANK Plan Change) Hawke’s Bay Regional Resource Management Plan

Private Bag 6006, Napier 4142 Email: [email protected] Submitter: New Zealand Defence Force Contact Person: Rebecca Davies, Senior Environmental Officer Address for Service: New Zealand Defence Force
C/- Tonkin + Taylor PO Box 2083 Wellington 6140 Attention: Sarah Bevin
Phone: +64 21 445 482 Email: [email protected] / [email protected] Introduction The New Zealand Defence Force (NZDF) welcomes the opportunity to submit on the proposed plan change to the Hawke’s Bay Regional Resource Management Plan for the Tūtaekurī, Ahuriri, Ngaruroro and Karamū (TANK) catchments (herein the ‘Proposed TANK Plan Change’). NZDF has outlined the key matters of importance to their operations and requested amendments to the provisions of the Proposed TANK Plan Change to facilitate this, as described below. NZDF has military interests throughout New Zealand. Within the Hawke’s Bay region, NZDF manages the closed Roy’s Hill Rifle Range facility and the operational Army Battalion HQ in Napier. NZDF may need larger or additional facilities in the Hawke’s Bay region in the future. NZDF may also undertake temporary military training activities (TMTA) in the Hawke’s Bay region. Temporary Military Training Activities NZDF is undertaking a nationwide project to ensure that regional and district plans recognise and provide for TMTAs. NZDF undertakes TMTAs across New Zealand as part of its function of maintaining the nation’s security, maintaining NZDF operational capacity and providing for the wellbeing, health and safety of communities. TMTA are essential in maintaining capability so that NZDF is ready to respond to a wide range of national and international situations, including providing aid and assistance following natural disasters. The need to train in unfamiliar real-world situations means that TMTA may be undertaken
2
anywhere within a region and as such need to be provided for in regional plan provisions to address their effects. As the TANK Plan Change relates to water quality and quantity only, the TMTA activities of particular relevance are firefighting training and water treatment. Firefighting Training NZDF respond to a range of emergency fire incidents from aircraft, structural and rural rescue and firefighting operations. To maintain capability and skills, personnel must train using realistic scenarios which may be specific training exercises or undertaken as part of a larger scale military exercise to prevent, suppress and extinguish fires. While section 14(3)(e) of the RMA expressly provides for water take/use for firefighting purposes it is imperative that regional plans provide for these activities, or at least not contradict section 14(3)(e). Water Treatment Activities NZDF operates deployable (portable) water treatment units as part of its defence functions in situations such as civil defence emergencies. To maintain its capability in operating these units and meet its statutory obligations under the Defence Act 1990, personnel must train with the units under realistic field conditions. This training may be water treatment specific or may involve producing potable water for military personnel as part of a larger scale military exercise. In this submission, NZDF requests for specific permitted activity rules to be provided in proposed TANK Plan Change to enable these important training activities to take place. Further information on the operation of the portable water treatment units is provided in Attachment 1 (please note that the information is based on the current model of treatment units and may change in the next year or so). The submission by NZDF is provided in Table 1 attached – in the ‘relief sought’ column where text is sought to be deleted/removed, this is shown in strikethrough and where text is sought to be added, this is shown as underlined. NZDF could not gain an advantage in trade competition through this submission. NZDF wishes to be heard in support of this submission. If others make a similar submission, NZDF will consider presenting a joint case with them at the hearing.

Attachment 1: Details on the operation of portable water treatment units for military training
NZDF must train in the use of portable water treatment units in order to maintain its capability.
Operation of the treatment units involves the abstraction of surface water (marine or fresh), associated minor bed disturbance if required, and the discharge of process water and unused potable water back into the environment.
The following information provides an overview of the NZDF’s training activities using portable water treatment units, and further details can be provided on request.
Overview of the portable water treatments units A number of different types of water treatment units are currently used by NZDF. In general, the units operate as follows;
- Flexible intake pipe with screen is placed in the suitable water source; - Raw water is pumped to the unit; - Water is treated by filtration or reverse osmosis. No chemicals are used in the
treatment process, and chlorine is added only if the water is to be stored; - The water streams are discharged to land or water; - The units are periodically cleaned using air, water, and/or additives.
Abstraction rates Water is abstracted at a maximum rate of 16.67 litres/second to a maximum daily volume of 210m3/day.
Abstraction site selection Depending on the purpose of the training, water can be abstracted from lakes, permanently or intermittently flowing streams, estuaries, or the sea.
The units require a continuous water supply or they may be damaged. Abstraction sites are therefore only selected if the operator is certain that there is sufficient flow at many times greater that then pump rate. This limitation ensures that the abstraction does not result in severe reductions in water levels that might impact on aquatic habitat and organisms.
Depending on the site, minor disturbance of the bed might be required to hand dig a small pool to facilitate placement and operation of the pump inlet.
Training may occur on NZDF owned land or by arrangement on other public private land across the country.
Discharges The discharges from the water treatment units fall under there categories: potable water, concentrate and backwash, and cleaning solutions. The nature of these discharges types and their management procedures are summarised as follows:
1 Potable water: chlorinated or unchlorinated clean water. Potable water that is not consumed is discharged either direct to the waterbody or over stable vegetated land. Chlorinated water is left as long as possible exposed to sunlight to encourage deactivation, and the rate of discharge is controlled to ensure the chlorine levels in the receiving water body meet the ANZECC Guidelines for Fresh and Marine Water Quality.
2 Concentrate and backwash: raw water with higher concentrations of original, source water, contaminants. Concentrate and backwash is discharged to a sump or to stable vegetated land; it is not discharged direct to the source waterbody.
3 Cleaning solutions; the units are periodically washed using cleaning solutions (normally acid based) then rinsed with water, and are disinfected using chlorine based disinfectants to prevent cross-contamination. These operations are generally undertaken at an NZDF camp or base and the cleaning solutions are discharged to the sewer. There cleaning must be undertaken in the field, the cleaning solutions are discharged to a hand dug sump or stable vegetated land in locations where it will not discharge to surface water, and diluted with rinse water.
Frequency and duration NZDF generally conducts between two and four water treatment training exercises per year nationwide. When in operation, the water treatment units may be in use 24 hours per day. Exercises will generally last for around 72 hours (3 days), but can last up to three weeks when supporting a larger military training exercise.
