• Guideline for Processing Resource Consents for Dams and Associated Activities
  
  To develop and trial a guideline to assist Regional Councils in the efficient and effective processing and monitoring of resource consents for activities associated with dams and reservoirs, under the Resource Management Act 1991. The guideline will provide practical guidance to regional councils when assessing the environmental effects of dams (including dam safety and reservoir integrity) and developing appropriate consent conditions and monitoring plans. The guideline will also provide valuable assistance to dam owners in preparing effective assessment of environmental effects and consent applications. Project outcomes will include;
  1.A greater understanding of responsibilities and requirements under the RMA,
  2.Efficient and effective productions of AEE's
  3.More efficient consent processing resulting in reduced costs,
  4.Appropriate level of consideration given to dam safety and environmental issues,
  5.Appropriate consent conditions and monitoring plans, reduction in risk to the environment and communities.
