B-2 – Area 2 - Assessment of Environmental Effects 52 Activity Relevant Rules Comment To discharge contaminants to air associated with the operation of equipment within the Willows SFA. Discretionary activity under Rule 6.1.9.2. The discharges are from a Mineral Extraction activity. Rule 6.1.16.1 provides for discharges to air from Mineral Extraction activities as a permitted activity. However, small amounts of hazardous substances (NO2 etc) will be discharged from blasting and vehicle operation such that condition (e) of that rule will not be met. OGNZL would also prefer to use the more sophisticated toolbox available in a resource consent and utilise an Air Quality Management Plan as a measure for managing dust, rather than the permitted activity conditions. A resource consent is therefore sought for the discharge under Rule 6.1.9.2.
