Blenheim Stormwater Strategy - Action Plan 2 Schedule 1: Implementation – Stage 1 This Schedule provides a summary of the key activities to be undertaken in the first stage of implementation. This is considered to be the first five years, or should the comprehensive discharge consent identify an alternative timeframe, the point at which the first key monitoring report is completed, and the strategy reviewed. This schedule should be reviewed and updated annually, and aligned with budgets and inputs to the annual plan process. Prior to any of the actions below being carried out, an assessment of costs and benefits of carrying out each of the actions should be done. Costing should also include the costs involved in installing any stormwater treatment devices. Specific actions also identify timeframes and priorities for implementation. These are explained below. Resource Consent Application The first task once this Strategy is adopted is to lodge a resource consent for the comprehensive discharge consent (or CSC). This will involve the preparation of an Assessment of Environmental Effects in accordance with the Fourth Schedule of the RMA, and associated documentation. Priority Implementation Measures The following table identifies those priority implementation measures which are considered critical to the first implementation period, and which are likely to be required by any consent conditions for the comprehensive discharge consent. Indicative budgets are provided where possible, for the purpose of external costs # Action Priority Timeframe Indicator 1a Review specific stormwater managementinformation including flooding and stormwater High Short contaminant levels on an annual basis. 1c Develop and implement a specificenvironmental monitoring program aimed at High Short identifying the relative contributions and issues associated with urban versus rural water quality. 1f Establish clear overall accountability forstormwater management across both network High Short and urban streams/waterways for quantity and quality.
