Proposed Arnold Valley Hydro Electric Power Scheme

The Application

The Scheme is to be located in the middle reaches of the Arnold River Valley. The proposed intake works are to be located on the true left bank of the Arnold River at or about the existing Arnold River Dam. Water is to be diverted into a canal and pond system before being discharged back into the Arnold River at the western end of Killeen Island.

The map in the Public Notice shows the general area within which the resource consent applications apply, and indicates specific locations of some particular project elements for which related resource consents have been made. For example there are a number of resource consent applications related to the Arnold Dam intake, the general location of which is marked on the map.

Other elements of the project, as marked on the map, include the canal (which link the intake, the flume, the storage pond, power station and outfall), one proposed whitewater kayak course and one possible whitewater course, the storage pond, power station and outfall. Each having a number of resource consent applications associated with them. The map also indicates the location of the borrow area and associated haul road.

Aside from the elements of the project marked on the map, which all have associated resource consent applications, TrustPower Limited has also lodged resource consent applications in relation to fill areas, main stream crossings, river diversions, concrete batching plant activities, haul roads, air discharges and general water requirements for the project. A full list of the wording of the consents applied for is contained in the Submission Pack or can be downloaded below.
