WATER SHARING PLAN FOR THE TENTERFIELD CREEK 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) in Zone 1:

(i) for the very low flow class, 0.044 ML/day when access to very low flows and pools is provided under clause 62A,

(ii) for C class, 0.22 ML/day, and

(iii) for D class, 0.22 ML/day,

Note: These flows represent 7% of the top of C class flows at the 20 th percentile and 1.7% of the top of D class flows at the 5 th percentile for all days.

(b) in Zone 2:

(i) for the very low flow class, 1.0 ML/day when access to very low flows and pools is provided under clause 62A,

(ii) for C class, 4.9 ML/day, and

(iii) for D class, 10 ML/day,

Note: These flows represent 23% of the top of C class flows at the 20 th percentile and 12% of the top of D class flows at the 5 th percentile for all days.

(c) in Zone 3:

(i) for the very low flow class, 0.6 ML/day when access to very low flows and pools is provided under clause 62A,

(ii) for C class, 3.0 ML/day, and

(iii) for D class, 5.9 ML/day,

Note: These flows represent 33% of the top of C class flows at the 20 th percentile and 16% of the top of D class flows at the 5 th percentile for all days.

(d) in Zone 4:

(i) for the very low flow class, 0.5 ML/day when access to very low flows and pools is provided under clause 62A,

(ii) for C class, 2.5 ML/day, and

(iii) for D class, 5.5 ML/day,

Note: These flows represent 31% of the top of C class flows at the 20 th percentile and 18% of the top of D class flows at the 5 th percentile for all days.

(e) in Zone 5:

(i) for the very low flow class, 5.0 ML/day when access to very low flows and pools is provided under clause 62A,

(ii) for C class, 24.8 ML/day, and

(iii) for D class, 34 ML/day,

Note: These flows represent 20% of the top of C class flows at the 20 th percentile and 6% of the top of D class flows at the 5 th percentile for all days.

(f) in Zones 1 to 5, 0 ML/day for the very low flow class in years 9 and 10 of this Plan.

(2) The TDEL for each flow class specified in subclause (1) applies to all rivers within this water source 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.
