Abstract
This report provides a review of the assessment of environmental effects (AEE) provided by Meridian Energy Ltd (Meridian) in support of resource consent applications RC07150 (01-26) and RC07/180 (A-G). These consent applications are part of the Mokihinui Hydro Proposal (MHP).
The Mokihinui Hydro Proposal includes a dam located on the Mokihinui River approximately 3 km upstream from the township of Seddonville and 11 km upstream from the river mouth, a new lake upstream of the dam extending to just below the Mokihinui Forks Ecological Area, a new transmission line to carry electricity from the power station to the existing Inangahua-Waimangaroa transmission line at Cedar Creek, and a new substation at Cedar Creek.
This report will provide the decision-maker with information and advice related to the effects of the proposed activities on recreation and tourism.
