(d)
hydraulically connected groundwater sources as calculated
in accordance with subclause (9)) or rules, total abstraction
from all parts of the Rangitata River specified in Schedules
1, 2 or 3 to exceed a maximum of 33 m³/s unless the
naturally occurring flow at Klondyke exceeds 110 m³/s at
which point the maximum may be extended from 33 m³/s
to 33 m³/s plus any naturally occurring flow in excess of
110 m³/s; or
if the effect is that the number of take sites (excluding
groundwater take sites) authorized to take more than 100
l/s at each site from those parts of the Rangitata River
specified in items 4 and 5 of Schedule 2 is greater than a
maximum of four.
(4) For the period from 15 September to 14 May in the
following year, there shall be a flow management regime in
respect of the main stem of the Rangitata River (including any
and all calculated river depletion effects resulting from the
taking of water from hydraulically connected groundwater
sources as calculated in accordance with subclause (9))
comprising -
(a) a minimum flow of 20 m³/s; and
(b) when the flow at Klondyke is greater than 20 m³/s but less
than 40 m³/s all flow in excess of 20 m³/s is available to be
taken; and
(c) when the flow at Klondyke is greater than 40 m³/s but less
than 66 m³/s, up to 33 m³/s may be taken on the basis of a
1: 1 sharing between instream retention and water
abstraction; and
(d) when the flow at Klondyke is greater than 66 m³/s and less
than 110 m³/s no more than 33 m³/s shall be taken.
(5) For the period 15 May to 14 September each year, there shall
be a flow management regime in respect of the main stem of the
Rangitata River (including any and all calculated river depletion
effects resulting from the taking of water from hydraulically
connected groundwater sources as calculated in accordance with
subclause (9)) comprising -
(a) a minimum flow of 15 m³/s; and
(b) when the flow at Klondyke is greater than 15 m³/s and less
than 30 m³/s all flow in excess of 15 m³/s is available to be
taken; or
(c) when the flow at Klondyke is greater than 30 m³/s and less
than 66 m³/s, up to 33 m³/s may be taken, on the basis of a
1: 1 sharing between instream retention and water
abstraction
(d) when the flow at Klondyke is greater than 66 m³/s and less
than 110 m³/s no more than 33 m³/s shall be taken.
(6) All applications for water permits to take groundwater shall
be assessed as if:
(a) all surface abstractions and abstractions of hydraulically
connected groundwater sources as calculated in
