2.0 Concept development plan

2.1 The requiring authority shall prepare a concept development plan for the Owhanake wastewater treatment plant showing the layout of works and facilities authorised by the designation. In determining the layout for new facilities the requiring authority shall, in addition to considering operational requirements, take the following matters into account:

• The avoidance or mitigation of adverse noise and odour effects associated with treatment plant operations (refer also condition 4.1 and advice note 3);
• The landscape and visual impact of buildings and structures (refer also condition 3.1);
• Existing indigenous vegetation on the site.

The concept development plan shall be submitted to the team leader - Hauraki Gulf islands, Auckland City Environments for approval prior to the construction of any new facilities.

3.0 Landscape and visual impact management conditions

3.1 Prior to the construction of any new buildings, structures or facilities in accordance with an approved concept development plan, the requiring authority shall prepare a landscape management plan. This plan shall demonstrate how, as far as is practicable, and in accordance with this condition, the wastewater treatment plant facilities are to be appropriately visually integrated with the surrounding landscape, including:

1. The design and external appearance of buildings and structures, including the type and colour of roofing and cladding materials to be used. The exterior of buildings shall be finished in colours and/or materials that are sympathetic to the natural landscape of the site;
2. Proposed landscape treatment, including details of plant species proposed to be used. Where practicable locally sourced native species shall be used;
3. The dimensions, graphic content and colouring of proposed signage. All signs shall comply with the provisions of the relevant Auckland City bylaw (Part 27 - Signs).

The landscape management plan shall be submitted to the team leader - Hauraki Gulf islands, Auckland City Environments for approval prior to commencement of construction, with the approved landscape treatment subsequently being implemented no later than the first planting season immediately following completion of construction.

In preparing and approving the landscape management plan, the requiring authority and team leader - Hauraki Gulf islands, Auckland City Environments, respectively, shall consider the extent to which measures for addressing landscape and visual effects are reasonably necessary, taking into account the extent to which any dwellings or other potentially sensitive land uses have established after the requirement for designation for the Owhanake wastewater treatment plant was publicly notified.

4.0 Noise

4.1 Operational noise

1. New facilities at the wastewater treatment plant shall be so designed and the use of the buildings and site shall be so conducted, that the following noise levels are not exceeded:
   1. The L_eq noise level shall not exceed the following limits:

      Day / time	Noise level (Leq)
      Monday to Saturday 0700 - 2200 hrs and Sunday 0900 - 1800 hrs	55 dBA
      All other times including public holidays (night time)	45 dBA

   2. The maximum noise level (L_max) at 'night' time shall be the background noise level (L95) plus 30 dBA; or 75 dBA, whichever is the lower.
2. All noise measurements shall be made at 20m from any building where people may reside overnight on a permanent or temporary basis (on another site from the noise source) or at the legal boundary, when this is closer to the dwelling. This may be referred to as the notional boundary.
3. Noise shall be measured in accordance with NZS 6801:1999 (Acoustics - Measurement of Environmental Sound).
4. The noise measured shall be assessed in accordance with NZS 6802:1999 (Acoustics - Assessment of Environmental Noise) except that the averaging of noise measured will be in accordance with the following:

Averaging

A noise nuisance does not generally arise from a single isolated infringement. The amount by which limits are exceeded may vary between repeat infringements. Averaging of measured L_eq values for separate time intervals to derive a single figure for comparison with any limit, will be subject to the following constraints:

1. Averaging of measured L_eq levels for comparison with any applicable noise limit, if employed, will only be performed on LR levels derived in accordance with appendix A of NZS 6802:1999 and will only relate to time intervals during which the sound of interest is present. Measured L_eq levels will not be averaged if comparison is to be made with night-time limits where sleep disturbance will be of concern.
2. The averaged value of the descriptor eg L_eq will not exceed the relevant limit, and in any case the limit will not be exceeded by more than 5dB for any single time interval. L_eq values will be averaged on an energy basis, ie the logarithmic mean will be determined.

4.2 Noise from construction work and earthworks (refer also condition 9.2)

1. Noise resulting from earthworks or construction work (construction work is defined in NZS 6803:1999) shall not exceed the following levels:
   1. When affecting all settlement areas and land units, with the exception of the transport area of the Matiatia land unit:

       

      Time of the week	Time period	Duration of the work
      		Typical duration work (dBA) 1		Short term duration work (dBA) 2
      		Leq	Lmax	Leq	Lmax
      Monday to Friday	0730 - 1800 hrs	75	90	80	95
      Saturday	0800 - 1600 hrs	75	90	80	95

      1. 'Typical duration work' means construction work at any one location for more than 14 calendar days
      2. 'Short term duration work' means construction work at any one location for up to 14 calendar days

       

   2. When affecting the transport area of the Matiatia land unit:

      Time period	Duration of the work
      	Typical duration work 1	Short term duration work 2
      	Leq (dBA)	Leq (dBA)
      0730 - 1800 hrs	75	80

      1. 'Typical duration work' means construction work at any one location for more than 14 calendar days
      2. 'Short term duration work' means construction work at any one location for up to 14 calendar days

       

2. Measurements should be made outside occupied buildings affected by the construction noise. Measurements should be made approximately 1m from the wall most exposed to the sound under investigation, and 1.2m to 1.5m above the relevant floor level. No adjustment to measured sound levels is to be made for the reflected sound from the wall. The measured levels should be compared directly with the noise limits without any adjustments for special audible characteristics. The measured level must be adjusted for any significant background L_eq level in the area using the procedure set out in appendix A of NZS 6803:1999.
3. Where circumstances require measurements inside buildings (eg when noise is travelling through common building elements such as a common wall) all windows and other means of ventilation must be closed or turned off and the upper limits of the noise measured will not exceed the levels stated in the tables in condition 4.2(a)(i) or (ii) above minus 20 dBA.
4. Noise shall be measured with a sound level meter complying at least with the International Standard IEC 651 (1979) Sound Level Meters, Type 1.
