sec.50 Monitoring and reporting requirements
To help the Minister assess the effectiveness of the management strategies for achieving the outcomes mentioned in part 3 , the resource operations plan must state— the monitoring requirements for water and natural ecosystems for this plan; and the reporting requirements for this plan for operators of infrastructure interfering with water in the plan area. Also, the monitoring requirements for this plan are— monitoring groundwater levels in the plan area; and monitoring natural relevant groundwater-dependent ecosystems, for— depth to groundwater level; and seawater intrusion or water quality in coastal aquifers; and volume of baseflow; and distribution, and information on the hydraulic-habitat requirements in aquifers and hyporheic zones, of micro-organism species and communities. Subsections (1) and (2) do not limit the monitoring requirements the chief executive may impose for this plan. s 50 amd 2009 SL No. 212 s 46 sub 2014 SL No. 142 s 220 (sec.50-ssec.1) To help the Minister assess the effectiveness of the management strategies for achieving the outcomes mentioned in part 3 , the resource operations plan must state— the monitoring requirements for water and natural ecosystems for this plan; and the reporting requirements for this plan for operators of infrastructure interfering with water in the plan area.
