43 a. Provide the consent holder with additional information about the hydrogeological system in the Wharekirauponga Catchment to manage mining operations and the associated requirement to control groundwater ingress in a manner that ensures compliance with Condition 5; and b. Provide the consent authority with additional information to assist in determining that the activity is being undertaken in a manner which complies with Condition 5. Numerical modelling of the hydrogeological system shall be applied to inform the Baseline Data Collection Plan. Prior to submitting the Plan to the Consent Authority, it must be provided to the Expert Groundwater Management Panel for review and comment in accordance with Conditions 20 - 26. The Consent Holder may make amendments to the Baseline Data Collection Plan at any time, subject to those amendments being considered and accepted by the Expert Groundwater Management Panel. 10 The Baseline Data Collection Plan shall be prepared by a suitably qualified and experienced professional(s) and, at minimum, shall include: a. Information obtained from a rainfall gauge which collects rainfall data from a representative site or sites within the Wharekirauponga Catchment; b. Monitoring information derived from monitoring of surface water flows at the following sites using continuous level monitoring, supplemented by manual gauging events approximately once every quarter to coincide with periods of natural low flow to the extent that this is practicable: Location Map Reference WKP1 S37.266089 E175.834505 WKP2 S37.290590 E175.829860 WKP3 S37.292848 E175.825207 T-Stream East S37.297171 E175.816956 T – Stream West S37.297269 E175.815946 #A (North Trib) S37.29673 E175.81467 or S37.29677 E175.81522 #B (South Trib) S37.297960 E175.81541 #C Edmonds S37.297752 E175.819334 Conditions 5 and 6 are drafted based on the information available at the time the application was lodged. The consent holder’s investigations into the hydrogeological system are ongoing and it is expected that by the time the application reaches the hearing stage the additional baseline data required to be collected post commencement of the consent will be more refined and this will be reflected in a more refined condition.
