CJ Industries Limited's discharge permit

Applicant

CJ Industries Limited

Location

134 Peach Island Road

The legal description is Lot 2 DP 2357 in record of title NL77/73 and Lot 2 DP 432236 in record of title 524970.

Proposal 

CJ Industries Limited seeks an additional resource consent to discharge contaminants to land, specifically from backfill material associated with the proposed gravel extraction from the berm of the Motueka River and on the landward side of the stopbank at Peach Island (consent applicataion RM220578). 

The applicant has already applied for the land use consents for the gravel extraction (applications RM200488 and RM200489). The Council notified these applications in December 2021, and the processing of those applications is paused, so that the Commissioner can consider all the resource consent applications for the proposed activity together at the hearing.

The application describes the backfill as clean fill materials that are pre-screened offsite then brought to the site for placement into areas that have been quarried for aggregates, prior to reinstatement of subsoil and topsoil to return the land to a similar state to that which existed prior to quarrying.

The duration sought for the discharge permit is 17 years.

Documents

The application included an assessment of environmental effects and technical assessments.

A copy of the Council’s request for more information was also included.

The following applies if you are a trade competitor of the applicant.

Your right to make a submission may be limited by the trade competition provisions in Part 11A of the Resource Management Act 1991.

You can make a submission only if you are directly affected by an effect of the activity to which this application relates that:

• adversely affects the environment, and
• the effect does not relate to trade competition nor the effects of trade competition. 

You must declare in your submission:

• that you are a trade competitor for the purposes of section 308B of the Resource Management Act 1991, and
• whether you are, or you are not directly affected by an effect of the activity to which this application relates that adversely affects the environment, and that the effect does not relate to trade competition nor the effects of trade competition.

You must have asked to speak at a hearing. If you will consider making a joint submission with any person presenting a submission simialr to yours, you must tell us that you're willing to make a joint submission under those circumstances.

This explains the process to ask for an independent hearing commissioner. However, the Council has already appointed Craig Welsh, an independent commissioner, to act as the decision maker for the bundle of resource consents required for the applicant's proposal for gravel extraction at Peach Island.

• As a submitter you can ask for this (see section 100A of the Resource Management Act 1991) by including the following with your submission: 

I request (under section 100A of the RMA), that you delegate your functions, powers, and duties to hear and decide the application to one or more hearings commissioners who are not members of the local authority.

• You can make this request separately from your submission as long as the Council receives it in writing no later than 5 days after the end of the submission period.
• If you do ask for this, you may be liable to meet or contribute to any extra costs from the use of a hearing commissioner or commissioners.
