If you would like to dive into more detail on the Environmental Management or monitoring results for past and present projects, we have collated all the reports in a PDF below. Click on the links to download and if you have any questions, please drop us a line at lpccommunications@lpc.co.nz
Resource consents
The resource consent conditions for the dredging as granted by the Environment Canterbury. These are effectively the rules that LPC had to follow for the project.
CRC176030 To discharge sediment. from reclamation construction
CRC175507, To disturb and deposit on seabed during reclamation construction
CRC175509, To discharge stormwater from reclamation construction
CRC175510, To discharge to air during reclamation construction
RMA2017869 Landuse consent for quarry operation
CRC175552, To discharge to air from Quarry
Construction Environmental Management Plan (CEMP)
A CEMP was prepared for the reclamation and the quarry works. These documents have been prepared according to LPC’s CEMP guidelines and aim to manage all environmental effects that could result from the project construction works.
We encourage you to have a read through the CEMP’s via the links below. As the Reclamation CEMP appendices are very large, the link below is for the main body of the CEMP.
If you wish to view the reclamation CEMP appendices or have any other questions, please contact us as lpccommunications@lpc.co.nz.
Resource Consent
The resource consent conditions for the dredging as granted by the Environment Court. These are effectively the rules that LPC had to follow for the project.
Dredge Management Plan (DMP)
The purpose of the DMP was to set out how the dredge will operate and what measures will be put in place on the dredge to minimise environmental effects.
Marine Mammal Management Plan (MMMP)
The purpose of the MMMP was to set out management measures to minimise risks of the dredge colliding with marine mammals and to manage potential underwater noise effects.
Biosecurity Management Plan (BMP)
The purpose of the BMP was to set out the measures undertaken to minimise the risk of the dredging introducing invasive species. The BMP includes measures for cleaning the dredge prior to transit to New Zealand.
Environmental Management and Monitoring Plan (EMMP)
The EMMP is the key environmental management document. It sets out how LPC monitors the environment before, during and after the dredging. It also details how we measures water clarity (turbidity) and what we will do if turbidity increases during the dredging.
The peer review group review of the EMMP can be found here.
Turbidity trigger report
This report details the statistical methods used to develop the turbidity triggers values from baseline data and predicted dredging plumes.
Baseline monitoring report
All of our baseline monitoring is collated in this report. This includes marine ecology, water quality, coastal geomorphology and marine mammal monitoring.
The Baseline Report has been reviewed by the Peer Review Group and an updated version of the report is available below:
CDP Baseline Monitoring Report
CDP Baseline Monitoring Report Appendix A – Water Quality Reports
CDP Baseline Monitoring Report Appendix B – Ecological Monitoring
CDP Baseline Monitoring Report Appendix C – Physical Shoreline Monitoring
CDP Baseline Monitoring Report Appendix D – Marine Mammal Monitoring
