Regulation 11 – Disturbance on a piece of land described in regulation 5(7) or (8) that is not a permitted activity, controlled activity, or restricted discretionary activity – Discretionary activity.
Discharge consent (s15) – DIS60330111 Auckland Unitary Plan (Operative in Part) (AUP (OP)) Contaminated Land • Discharges of contaminants into air, or into water, or onto or into land not meeting controlled activity Standard E30.6.2.1 under Activity Table E30.4.1(A7) is a discretionary activity. A concurrent Outline Plan of Works has been served, reference OPW60331184, to enable the public realm reinstatement works within existing Designation 2500-1 in the Auckland Unitary Plan.
Decision I have read the application, supporting documents, and the report and recommendations on the application for resource consent(s). I am satisfied that I have sufficient information to consider the matters required by the Resource Management Act 1991 (RMA) and make a decision under delegated authority on the application. Acting under delegated authority, under sections 104, 104B, 105, 107 and Part 2 of the RMA, the application is GRANTED.
1. Reasons The reasons for this decision are: 1.
2.
The application is for discretionary activity resource consent, as such under s104B all potential effects have been considered. Those matters are: a.
The impact of the proposed works in respect of contaminated discharges and human health.
b.
The impact of the proposed works within the dripline in respect to the five protected trees.
In accordance with an assessment under s104(1)(a) of the Resource Management Act, the actual and potential effects from the proposal will be of an appropriate nature and scale in this environment, with any adverse effects avoided, remedied or mitigated, including: a.
Erosion and sediment control measures of suitable scale and design will be implemented, which will limit the potential for erosion to occur and suitably control and contain any contaminated sediment runoff;
b.
A Contaminated Delivery Work Plan (‘CDWP’) has been developed for works encountering contaminants. The implementation of the CDWP, including site specific management measures and undertaking the works in accordance with
BUN60330069
Page 2
the proposed conditions will ensure any potential adverse effects on human health and receiving environment from the construction works will be less than minor. c.
3.
The works within the protected root zone of trees in the road will be mitigated by having a suitably qualified and experienced Works Arborist to supervise all works and extending the areas of epoxy bound aggregate at the base of the tree (instead of stone paving). The works will be undertaken in accordance with the consent conditions.
In accordance with an assessment under s104(1)(b) of the Resource Management Act, the proposal is consistent with the relevant objectives, policies and assessment criteria within the regional policy statement and Chapters E30 ‘Contaminated Land’ and E17 ‘Trees in roads’ of the Auckland Unitary Plan (Operative in Part) for the following reasons: a.
Chapter B of the AUP contains the regional policy statement provision; Issue 7 (natural resources) is on relevant to the Project. Policy B7.4.2 (1) seeks to ensure an integrated management approach is adopted in relation to the effects associated with water quality. Specifically, policy B7.4.2 (7) and B7.4.2 (8) seek to manage and minimise the discharge of contaminants and sediment from development. Objective B7.5.1(3) seeks to ensure that adverse effects on human health, property and the environment from use and development that discharge contaminants into air are avoided, remedied or mitigated. The management measures proposed demonstrate consistency with the policy direction of Issue 7.
b.
Discharge of contaminants into air, water or land will be consistent with the objective and supporting policies at E30.2 and E30.3 as the effects on the receiving environment will be appropriately managed/mitigated through implementation of the CDWP and the sensitivity of the receiving environment to the adverse effects of the discharge will not be compromised given the level of the discharge, the application of suitable control technology and appropriate on site management techniques.
c.
The works within the protected root zone of trees in the road will be consistent with the objectives and supporting policies at E17.2 and E17.3 as the effects on the receiving environment will be appropriate managed/mitigated through proposed consent conditions which will require oversight from a suitable qualified and experienced expert and the extension of the zone epoxy resin proposed which will have positive effects on the trees on-going wellbeing.
4.
In accordance with an assessment under s104(1)(c) of the RMA no other matters are considered relevant.
5.
This proposal achieves the sustainable management purpose of the RMA under Part 2 because the project will improve the Auckland rail network - which is a critical piece of infrastructure for the economic and social well-being of Auckland – while mitigating the effects of construction.
BUN60330069
Page 3
Overall the proposal is consistent with the relevant planning provisions and the integrated suite of proposed conditions will appropriately manage any adverse environmental and human health effects from potentially contaminated soils disturbance.
