1 1 All Zone Rules Is the property less than 5ha in size? Land use Permitted activity under Rule 5.41 Is the property in the Lake Zone? Is the nitrogen loss calculation for the property 10kg/ha/yr? Land use Permitted activity under Rule 5.41 Do you get your water from an irrigation scheme or principal water supplier? Go to coloured Nutrient Allocation Zone Rules Go to Irrigation Scheme Rules

2 Irrigation Scheme/Principal Water Supplier Rules 2 Does the irrigation scheme or principal water supplier you get your water from hold a resource consent for the discharge of nutrients that specifies the maximum amount of nitratenitrogen that may be leached? Land use Permitted activity under Rule 5.60 Does the irrigation scheme or principal water supplier you get your water from have an existing consent with conditions that specify the maximum amount or rate at which nutrients may be discharged or leached from the land, and was the consent granted before 11 August 2012? Until 1 January 2017 After 1 January 2017 Land use Permitted activity under Rule 5.60 Does the irrigation scheme or principal water supplier you get your water from hold a resource consent for the discharge of nutrients that specifies the maximum amount of nitratenitrogen that may be leached? Land use Permitted activity under Rule 5.60 Go to Coloured Nutrient Allocation Zone Rules

3 3 Lake Zone Rules Is the nitrogen loss calculation* for the property the baseline nitrogen for the property? Prohibited activity under Rule 5.52 Has a Farm Environment Plan been prepared in accordance with Part A of Schedule 7? required Non-complying activity under Rule 5.51 Is the nitrogen loss calculation* 10kg/ha/yr? required Restricted discretionary activity under Rule 5.50 required Controlled activity under Rule 5.49 *Nitrogen loss calculation means the discharge of nitrogen below the root zone, as modelled with OVERSEER TM, averaged over the most recent 4 year 1 July to 30 June period and expressed in kilograms per hectare per year. If OVERSEER TM is updated, the most recent version is to be used

4 4 Red Zone Rules Water quality outcomes not met Is the farm part of a farming enterprise*? Will the nitrogen loss calculation** increase above the baseline nitrogen loss for the property? Prohibited activity under Rule 5.48 Will the nitrogen loss calculation** increase above the baseline nitrogen loss for the property? Prohibited activity under Rule 5.48 Are all the properties in the same Nutrient Allocation Zone and Surface Water Catchment and has a Farm Environment Plan been prepared in accordance with Part A of Schedule 7? required Discretionary activity under Rule 5.46 Until 1 January 2017 Is the nitrogen loss calculation 20kg/ha/yr? Until 1 January 2017 Permitted activity under Rule 5.44 After 1 January 2017 Land use Permitted activity under Rule 5.43 Has a Farm Environment Plan been prepared in accordance with Part A of Schedule 7? required Restricted discretionary activity under Rule 5.45 required Non complying activity under Rule 5.47 required Non complying activity under Rule 5.47 *Farming enterprise means an agglomeration of parcels of land held in single or multiple ownership that constitutes a single operating unit for the purposes of nutrient management **Nitrogen loss calculation means the discharge of nitrogen below the root zone, as modelled with OVERSEER TM, averaged over the most recent 4 year 1 July to 30 June period and expressed in kilograms per hectare per year. If OVERSEER TM is updated, the most recent version is to be used

5 5 Orange Zone Rules At risk Will the nitrogen loss calculation* for the property exceed 20kg/ha/yr? Will information be recorded in accordance with Part D of Schedule 7? Land use Permitted activity under Rule 5.53 Will the information in Part D of Schedule 7 be prepared and supplied to Environment Canterbury on request? Is the property <50ha? Will the nitrogen loss calculation* increase by more than 5kg/ha/yr above the baseline nitrogen loss for the property? Until 1 January 2016 Permitted activity under Rule 5.54 After 1 January 2016 Will the nitrogen loss calculation* for the property increase above the baseline? Has a Farm Environment Plan been prepared in accordance with Schedule 7 of Part A? required Restricted discretionary activity under Rule 5.55 Land use Permitted activity under Rule 5.53 Discretionary activity under Rule 5.56 required Non-complying activity under Rule 5.56A *Nitrogen loss calculation means the discharge of nitrogen below the root zone, as modelled with OVERSEER TM, averaged over the most recent 4 year 1 July to 30 June period and expressed in kilograms per hectare per year. If OVERSEER TM is updated, the most recent version is to be used

6 6 Green and Light Blue Zone Rules Meets water quality outcomes/unclassified Will the nitrogen loss calculation* for the property exceed 20kg/ha/yr? Will the farm information required under Schedule 7 Part D be recorded and supplied to Environment Canterbury on request? Land use Permitted activity under Rule 5.57 Will the farm information required under Schedule 7 Part D be recorded and supplied to Environment Canterbury on request? Has a Farm Environment Plan been prepared in accordance with Part A of Schedule 7? required Restricted discretionary activity under Rule 5.58 Is the property less than 50ha or will any increase in the nitrogen loss calculation* for the property be less than 5kg/ha/yr?** required Non complying activity under Rule 5.59 Land use Permitted activity under Rule 5.57 *Nitrogen loss calculation means the discharge of nitrogen below the root zone, as modelled with OVERSEER TM, averaged over the most recent 4 year 1 July to 30 June period and expressed in kilograms per hectare per year. If OVERSEER TM is updated, the most recent version is to be used **Note that one clause only needs to be met here, so if a farm is larger than 50ha in area but its N loss calculation is less than 5kg/ha/yr, the condition is met
