Subject: Official Information request - Resource consents for combustion discharges

Dear Tasman District Council,

The Tasman District Council controls discharges of contaminants from enclosed combustion processes under Chapter 36 of the Tasman Resource Management Plan. Rule 36.3.3.1 makes enclosed combustion a controlled activity if it complies with conditions, meaning a resource consent is automatically granted if those conditions are met. Rule 36.3.4.1 covers enclosed combustion which does not comply with other rules as a restricted discretionary activity requiring a resource consent. I would like to request the following information under the LGOIMA:

* a list of all the resource consents in force for discharges from enclose combustion under Rules 36.3.3.1 and 36.3.4.1. For each consent I would like the date of issue, date of expiry, the fuel source for the combustion, and the power in kW or MW (if known) or maximum combustion rate (e.g. in tonnes per hour, if known).

I would prefer to receive an electronic response. Queries about this request will be automatically forwarded to me by the fyi.org.nz website.

Yours faithfully,

Alex Harris

Good afternoon Alex,

I write by way of an update and apologise that it has not been possible to supply the information you have requested within the original statutory timeframe. This is because a response requires us to search through a large quantity of information and meeting the original time limit would unreasonably interfere with our day to day operations.

Consequently, we will need to apply an extension of time for a response in accordance with s.14(1)(a) of the Local Government Official Information and Meetings Act 1987 (LGOIMA). Given current resourcing and the nature of your request, we consider a further ten working days would be reasonable. This will mean a response is due on or before 29 August 2019 at the latest.

You have the right to complain about the application of this extension of time to the Ombudsman.

Thank you for your patience in the meantime.

Kind regards,

Kate Redgrove, Governance Advisor

We do not store our consents by fuel type, this list will contain most of
the key discharges who require consent to burn fossil fuels.

Please note this is an incomplete list as several businesses can operate
boilers/generates etc as a permitted activity in accordance with the rules
in Chapter 36.3 of the TRMP.  Rule 36.3.2.5 allows boilers up to 5MW
depending on fuel type and location. We generally don’t store the amount
of fuel burnt by each consent holder, this is also likely to be very
variable year to year.  Most if not all the Hop processors will only be
burning fossil fuels for their harvest season, approximately 4-6 weeks. 
Most of the glass houses only burn when they require heat, hence they are
not producing much if any emissions over the summer / early autumn.

 

We will work to provide the date of issue and expiry for each of the above
consents but our resources are still very limited in this particular
department.  We will need to apply a further five working days in order to
collate that information -  s.14(1)(a) of LGOIMA refers.  You have the
right to complain about the application of this extension of time to the
Ombudsman.

 

Kind regards,

Subject: Official Information request - Resource consents for combustion

Dear Tasman District Council,

 

The Tasman District Council controls discharges of contaminants from
enclosed combustion processes under Chapter 36 of the Tasman Resource
Management Plan. Rule 36.3.3.1 makes enclosed combustion a controlled
activity if it complies with conditions, meaning a resource consent is
automatically granted if those conditions are met. Rule 36.3.4.1 covers
enclosed combustion which does not comply with other rules as a restricted
discretionary activity requiring a resource consent. I would like to
request the following information under the LGOIMA:

 

* a list of all the resource consents in force for discharges from enclose
combustion under Rules 36.3.3.1 and 36.3.4.1. For each consent I would
like the date of issue, date of expiry, the fuel source for the
combustion, and the power in kW or MW (if known) or maximum combustion
rate (e.g. in tonnes per hour, if known).

 

I would prefer to receive an electronic response. Queries about this
request will be automatically forwarded to me by the fyi.org.nz website.

 

Yours faithfully,

 

Alex Harris
