December, the consent holder shall ensure that:

a. A suitably qualified and experienced ecologist inspects the proposed area of works

no earlier than eight working days prior to any works being carried out, and locates

any banded dotterel breeding or nesting sites; and

b. If banded dotterel breeding or nesting sites are found within a 50 metre radius of

any construction area, construction activities within that 50 metre radius shall be

postponed until such time as all nests are abandoned or the chicks have fledged.

Moreporks / Ruru

31. Any clearance of the pine trees within the works area on the true left bank must be

undertaken between April and September inclusive, to minimise effects on morepork/ruru

fledging.

Lizards

32. Prior to vegetation works commencing, the consent holder must ensure a suitably qualified

and experienced ecologist/herpetologist acceptable to Council, shall be onsite to supervise

all areas requiring vegetation removal in order to search for, and rescue, any native lizards

found and relocate them to a suitable alternative location on or near the site. If an

investigation over an 8 hour period does not identify any lizards, then the search and rescue

requirement of this condition will be considered as fulfilled.

33. The woody vegetation within the proposed works area on the true right bank shall be

removed and stockpiled immediately adjacent to similar riparian vegetation outside of the

works area to assist in the search and rescue operation required by Condition 32.

34. One month prior to construction works on the true left bank, the Consent Holder shall mulch

and keep short the rank grass vegetation to reduce habitat suitability for native skinks.

Water Quality

35. The Consent Holder shall ensure that any discharge of sediment into the River directly

caused by each stage of the instream works associated with the project work, must not,

after reasonable mixing, cause any increase in turbidity (NTU) by more than 30%, for more

than 24 hours in total across 5 consecutive days. The Consent Holder shall also ensure

deposited sediment does not increase by more than 25% compared to the upstream

monitoring site. The Consent Holder must take turbidity samples and measure deposited

sediment at the upstream site at map reference NZTopo50 BM34:216-276 and

Page 9 of 12

approximately 200m downstream of the furthest discharge point. Turbidity samples must be

taken twice per day during in-stream works, on the same side of the river as the works.

Deposited sediment assessment must be undertaken prior to and at the completion of each

of the three separate phases of in river works (i.e., pier 1, pier 2, and final channel

reinstatement), on the same side of the river as the works.

Advice Note: Reasonable mixing is defined as 200m downstream of the discharge.

Advice Note: For clarification, the 5 working days applies to each stage of the works within

the wetted channel i.e. the construction of the true left and right bunds and any remedial

works.

Advice Note: An appropriate methodology for assessing deposited sediment would be the

Sediment Assessment Method 2 (SAM-2) of Clappcott et al. (2011) [see

http://www.cawthron.org.nz/media_new/publications/pdf/2014_01/SAM_FINAL_LOW.pdf].

Advice Note: The exact downstream site for deposited sediment monitoring will be

dependent on being able to wade into the channel on the same side as the works are

occurring, hence may be further downstream than the 200m mixing zone limit.

36. The consent holder shall ensure monitoring required under Conditions 35 and 38, is

undertaken by an appropriately qualified and experienced person and ensure calibrated field

metres are used to collect turbidity measurements.

37. The consent holder shall take all measures to ensure that no uncured cement or cement

based products enter or come in contact with the River during the exercise of works. Any

uncured concrete placed in or near the watercourse shall be undertaken in such a manner

that no concrete or cement leaches out and enters the watercourse. New concrete or

mortar shall not be exposed to the flow of water before the concrete or mortar has

hardened to a strength of at least 10 megapascal (MPa), or for at least forty-eight (48) hours

from completion of pouring.

38. The consent holder shall monitor pH at the times when concrete/cement work is being

undertaken to ensure the pH of the Manawatu River does not change by more than 0.5 units

between the same upstream and downstream monitoring sites described in Condition 35.

Advice Note: A pH field meter will be suitable for this but note handheld pH meters require

very regular calibration.

39. The consent holder must ensure an electronic record is kept of the results for measuring

turbidity (NTU) and pH, required under Conditions 35 and 38, are provided to the Regulatory

Manager via email to [email protected] on a weekly basis.

http://www.cawthron.org.nz/media_new/publications/pdf/2014_01/SAM_FINAL_LOW.pdf

40. The consent holder shall ensure that:

a. machinery or vehicles entering the River should have had a stand down of at least

forty-eight (48) hours since being in contact with another water body other than the

Manawatu River; and

b. machinery or vehicles used at the proposed site should be stood down for forty-

eight (48) hours prior to use in any catchment upstream of the site;

c. standard check, clean and dry procedures should be adopted for any vehicles,

equipment, clothing or footwear that has been in contact with a water body other

than the upstream of the River within the past 48 hours; and

d. all standard check, clean and dry procedures carried out for vehicles and equipment

used onsite are recorded in a Log book and are available upon request to the

Manawatu Wanganui Regional Council’s Regulatory Manager.

41. Any discharge of sediment into water directly caused by activities authorised under resource

consent, excluding in-stream works, must not cause a change in visual clarity by more than

20%, for more than 24 hours in total across 5 consecutive days.

Advice note: For clarification, in-stream works applies to the construction of pier 1, pier 2,

and final channel reinstatement works.

42. The consent holder shall comply with all notices and guidelines issued by Biosecurity New

Zealand (refer to www.biosecurity.govt.nz/didymo) in relation to avoiding the spread of the

pest organism Didymosphenia geminata (known as ‘Didymo’).

Fuel Storage, Machinery and Equipment

43. The consent holder shall ensure that:

a. Any onsite storage areas for fuel and lubricants shall be bunded or contained to such

an extent that any spill (whether it be accidental or deliberate) does not result in any

discharge of contaminants directly into water or onto or into land where it may

enter water.

b. All machinery and equipment is regularly maintained in such a manner so as to

minimise the potential for leakage of fuels, lubricants and similar contaminants.

c. All machinery and equipment is operated in a manner, which ensures spillages of

fuel, oil and similar contaminants are prevented, particularly during refuelling and

machinery servicing and maintenance.

d. Refuelling and lubrication activities shall be carried out away from any water body,

such that any spillage can be contained so that it does not enter surface water.

e. All machinery not being used is stored away from any water body or out of the

active river bed.

Page 11 of 12

f. .Refuelling and lubrication activities shall be carried out away from any water body,

such that any spillage can be contained so that it does not enter surface water.
