Construction Sound levels shall be measured in accordance with New Zealand Standard NZS 6803:1999
“Acoustics – Construction Noise”. Measurement assessment locations shall be at residential receivers
using the methodology set out in Section 6 of NZS 6803:1999 “Acoustics – Construction Noise”
Advice
1
“Short‐term” means construction work any one location for up to 14 calendar days.
Notes:
“Typical duration” means construction work at any one location for more than 14
calendar days, but less than 20 weeks.
“Long‐term” means construction work at any one location with a duration
exceeding 20 weeks.
2
Noise levels L10, L95 and Lmax are measured in dBA. Definitions are as follows:
(a)
dBA means the sound level obtained when using a sound level meter having
its frequency response A‐weighted. (See IEC 651);
(b)
Lmax means the maximum noise level (dBA) measured;
(c)
L95 means the noise level (dBA) equalled or exceeded for 95% of the
measurement time;
(d)
L10 as for L95 except that the percentage figure is 10%.

Operational Sound levels shall be measured in accordance with New Zealand Standard NZS 6801:2008
Measurement of Environmental Sound and assessed in accordance with NZS 6802:2008 Acoustics –
Environmental Noise.
Advice Note:
The boundary of the facilities, for the purposes of measuring noise levels, shall be the
notional boundary of any residential property not under the control of the consent
holder.

SCHEDULE 2
TESTING PROGRAMME FOR WATER QUALITY
DURING CONSTRUCTION OF RECLAMATION, BARGE DOCK, BOATRAMP AND JETTY FACILITY,
MANGROVE REMOVAL, CAPITAL DREDGING AND MAINTENANCE DREDGING
Testing will be carried out for compliance with the standards in Condition 58.
DURING OPERATION OF BARGE DOCK AND BOATRAMP FACILITIES AND STORMWATER DISCHARGE
Water Quality Sampling
Testing will be carried out for compliance with the standards in Conditions 27, 46, 47 and 58.
The stormwater discharge shall be sampled at least once annually at the point of discharge, being after
the proprietary system but before any mixing, during a moderate rainfall event following an extended
dry period. Samples shall be analysed for total suspended solids (TSS), total copper, total lead, and
total zinc and the result compared against the discharge standards specified in Condition 47.
Results of this monitoring shall be reported to the council’s assigned monitoring officer in writing
within one week of the result being obtained from the laboratory.
Marine Sediment Quality Sampling
Testing for metals in the seabed from at least one site within each of the exclusive occupation areas
will be carried out annually. Samples will be collected from the top two centimetres of the sediment.
Sediments will be analysed for copper, zinc, lead, chromium, nickel, and cadmium for compliance with
standards in Condition 28.
DURING CAPITAL DREDGING AND MAINTENANCE DREDGING OPERATIONS
Testing will be carried out for compliance with the standards in Condition 40.
During dredging operations, the consent holder, or its assigned agent, shall take secchi disc readings
at least daily of the waters 50m upstream and 100m downstream of the dredging operation. Results
of the daily inspections are to be recorded in a written log book by the Consent Holder. This log will
be made readily available for viewing by the Council upon request. A copy of the log shall be provided
to the Council’s assigned monitoring officer upon written request. Should two consecutive sets of
secchi disc readings indicate water quality outside that allowed for by Condition 40 at or beyond the
compliance boundary, then the Consent Holder will notify the Council as soon as practical (but not
longer than the following day) and take steps to improve water quality at the compliance boundary.
