WATER SHARING PLAN FOR THE CASTLEREAGH RIVER ABOVE BINNAWAY WATER SOURCE 2003 - REG 45

45 Total daily extraction limits

(1) This Plan establishes a total daily extraction limit (hereafter "TDEL") for each flow class as follows:

(a) Zone 1:

(i) 9.4 ML/day for A class, and

(ii) 14.0 ML/day for B class.

Note: These flows represent 53% of the top of A class flows (which is at the 19th percentile) and 26% of the top of B class flows (which is at the 9th percentile) of all days flow.

(b) Zone 2:

(i) 11.3 ML/day for A class, and

(ii) 17.2 ML/day for B class.

Note: These flows represent 55% of the top of A class flows (which is at the 15th percentile) and 28% of the top of B class (which is at the 8th percentile) of all days flow.

(c) Zone 3:

(i) for the very low flow class, 0.2 ML/day in accordance with clause 62,

(ii) 4.2 ML/day for A class, and

(iii) 5.4 ML/day for B class.

Note: These flows represent 51% of the top of A class flows and 9% of the top of B class of all days flow.

(d) Zone 4:

(i) 6.4 ML/day for A class, and

(ii) 14.4 ML/day for B class.

Note: These flows represent 36% of the top of A class flows (which is at the 43rd percentile) and 14% of the top of B class (which is at the 15th percentile) of all days flow.

(e) Zone 5:

(i) 5.5 ML/day for A class, and

(ii) 8.0 ML/day for B class.

Note: These flows represent 56% of the top of A class flows (which is at the 40th percentile) and 14% of the top of B class flows (which is at the 11th percentile) of all days flow.

(f) At the commencement of this Plan, TDELs have not been established for Zone 6.

Note: All water supply works located in Zone 6 are subject to the condition stated in clauses 22 and 68 (d) which only allow water to be extracted where there is a visible flow in the river in the downstream vicinity of the water supply work.

(2) The TDEL for each flow class in each management zone specified in subclause (1) applies to all rivers within that management zone apart from those rivers identified as minor streams in a harvestable rights Order made under section 54 of the Act.

Note: The harvestable rights Order applying to this area at the commencement of this Plan is that gazetted on 23 March 2001 under section 54 of the Act. It identifies minor streams as non-permanent 1st and 2nd order streams as shown on topographic maps.
