sec.22C Continued effect of moratorium notice published on 20 September 2000— Act , s 46 (3)

This section continues, in part, the effect of the moratorium notice, published on 20 September 2000. This section applies to an application under the Act or the repealed Act if granting the application would have 1 or more of the following effects on surface water to which this plan relates— increase the amount of surface water taken or interfered with; change the location from which the surface water may be taken or interfered with; increase the maximum rate for taking or interfering with the surface water; change the conditions under which the surface water may be taken; change the purpose for which surface water may be taken. The application will be accepted but not dealt with until the resource operations plan deals with the allocation of unallocated surface water in the area to which the application relates. However, subsection (3) does not apply to an application— for a water permit; or by an interim resource operations licence holder to transfer an interim water allocation; or for a licence, or amendment of a licence, to take water managed by the Pioneer Valley Water Board; or to reinstate or replace an expired licence. The chief executive’s acceptance of an application does not give the applicant priority in having the application decided. s 22C (prev s 49) amd 2009 SL No. 212 s 44 renum and reloc 2009 SL No. 212 s 44 (3) (sec.22C-ssec.1) This section continues, in part, the effect of the moratorium notice, published on 20 September 2000.
