There are three categories of a Permit to Take Water:

• Category 1: water takings are anticipated to have a lower risk of causing an unacceptable environmental impact/interference

• Category 3: water takings are anticipated to have the highest potential of causing unacceptable environmental impactor interference

The proposed water taking qualifies as a Category 1 permit
