RECOMMENDED DRAFT WATER CONSERVATION ORDER THE NATIONAL WATER CONSERVATION (RAKAIA RIVER) ORDER 1984 1. TITLE AND COMMENCEMENT (1) This order may be cited as the National Water Conservation (Rakala River) Order 1984. (2) This order shall come into force on the 14th day after the date of its notification in the Gazette. 2. INTERPRETATION In, this order, unless the context otherwise requires, “Act” means the Water and Soil Conservation Act 1967: “Gorge flow” means the mean dally flow of the Rakala River which would be measured at the recorder site maintained by the North Canterbury Catchment Board below the Rakala Gorge (approximate map reference NZMS 262 Sheet 13 402742) if there were no abstraction or diversion of water from the protected waters above Rakala Gorge. “The protected waters” means—(a) The Rakala River itself from its source (approximate map reference NZMS 262 Sheet 13 341767) to its entry into the sea (approximate map reference NZMS 262 Sheet 13 382763). (b) All rivers and streams contributing water to the Rakala River upstream of its confluence with, but not including, the Wilberforce River (approximate map reference NZMS 262 Sheet 13 382763). (c) Lake Heron and its tributary streams. 3. OUTSTANDING CHARACTERISTIC AND FEATURES It is hereby declared that the protected waters Include: (a) An outstanding natural characteristic in the form of a braided river. (b) Outstanding wildlife habitat, fisheries and angling amenity features. 4. RETENTION OF NATURAL WATERS IN NATURAL STATE Because of the outstanding characteristic and features specified in clause 3 of this order: (a) The quantity and rate of flow of natural water in the Rakala River upstream of its confluence with the Wilberforce River and all tributaries of the Rakala River upstream of that confluence shall be retained in their p Fit'll y*rl state (b) The quantity and level of natural water in Lake Heron, and the quantity and rate of flow of natural water in its tributary streams, shall be retained in their natural state. 5. RATE OF FLOW OF NATURAL WATER Because of the outstanding characteristic and features specified in clause 3 of this order, the following rates of flow shall be retained in the Rakala River below its confluence with the Wilberforce River: (1) During the months of June, July and August—(a) As long as the gorge flow does not exceed 80 cubic metres per second, the rate of flow of the Rakala River shall not be reduced by diversion or abstraction of water anywhere in its catchment. (b) If the gorge flow exceeds 80 cubic metres per second, but does not exceed 110 cubic metres per second, the rate of flow of the Rakala River shall not be reduced by more than two-thirds of the amount by which the flow exceeds 80 cubic metres per second. (c) If the gorge flow equals or exceeds 110 cubic metres per second, the rate of flow of the Rakala River shall not be reduced by more than 20 cubic metres per second plus the amount by which the flow exceeds 110 cubic metres per second, subject to an overall limit of 70 cubic metres per second. (2) During all other months of the year—(a) As long as the gorge flow does not exceed 90 cubic metres per second, the rate of flow of the Rakala River shall not be reduced by diversion or abstraction of water anywhere in its catchment. (b) If the gorge flow exceeds 90 cubic metres per second, but does not exceed 120 cubic metres per second, the rate of flow of the Rakala River shall not be reduced by more than two-thirds of the amount by which the flow exceeds 90 cubic metres per second. (c) If the gorge flow equals or exceeds 120 cubic metres per second, the rate of flow of the Rakala River shall not be reduced by more than 20 cubic metres per second plus the amount by which the flow exceeds 120 cubic metres per second, subject to an overall limit of 70 cubic metres per second. 6. RIGHT TO DAM NOT TO BE GRANTED (1) A right to dam any river or stream forming part of the protected waters above the confluence of the Rakala and Wilberforce Rivers shall not be granted under sections 21 or 23 of the Act. (2) A right to dam the Rakala River below its confluence with the Wilberforce River shall not be granted under sections 21 or 23 of the Act unless the right is essential for the diversion of water, and providing that the full flow of the river is not impounded and fish passage is not prevented. (3) Any right granted under sections 21 or 23 of the Act to dam any tributary of the Rakala River not forming part of the protected waters shall be granted in such a way or granted subject to such conditions that the taking or diversion of water to fill the dam will not prejudice the maintenance of the rates of flow specified in subclauses (1 )(a) and (2)(a) of clause 5 of this order. 7. WATER RIGHTS (1) A water right under sections 21,23 or 24 of the Act may not be granted by the National Water and Soil Conservation Authority, or by the Regional Water Board (as appropriate), and a general authorisation under section 22 of the Act may not be made by the Regional Water Board in respect of any part of the protected waters upstream of the confluence of the Rakala and Wilberforce Rivers, if the combined effect of the grant or authorisation and of existing rights would be that the provisions of this order can not remain without change or variation. (2) A water right under sections 21,23 or 24 of the Act may not be granted by the National Water and Soil Conservation Authority or by the Regional Water Board (as appropriate), and a general authorisation under section 22 of the Act may not be made by the Regional Water Board in respect of the Rakala River itself downstream of its confluence with the Wilberforce River if the effect of such water right or general authorisation would be to prejudice the maintenance of the rates of flow specified in clause 5 of this order. Every water right granted, and every general authorisation made, shall be subject to such conditions as to rostering and other matters as the National Water and Soil Conservation Authority or the Regional Water Board (as appropriate) considers necessary to ensure the maintenance of the rates of flow specified in clause 5 of this order. (3) No water right shall be granted, and no general authorisation shall be made, for any discharge Into the protected waters If the effect of the discharge would be to breach the standards specified for Class C waters by the Third Schedule to the Act. (4) Notwithstanding anything in this order, it shall be lawful for water rights to be granted, and general authorisations to be made, in respect of any part of the protected waters upstream of the confluence of the Rakaia and Wilberforce Rivers for the purposes of research into, and enhancement of, fisheries and wildlife habitats. (5) Notwithstanding sections 21(3F), 21(3H), and 23(1 A) of the Act, nothing in subclauses 1(b), 1(c), 2(b) or 2(c) of clause 5 of this order shall be construed as restricting the granting of water rights in respect of natural water not forming part of the protected waters. (6) Nothing in this order shall be construed as limiting the effect of the second proviso to section 21(1) of the Act relating to the use of water for domestic needs, for the needs of animals, and for or In connection with firefighting purposes. mL, D. A. PICKERING, Secretary, a Water and Soil Conservation Authority.
