Much of the information in this document draws on comprehensive state of the
environment monitoring programmes put in place by the Taranaki Regional
Council subsequent to the adoption of the first Regional Policy Statement in

improved over the last decade. The previous Regional Policy Statement built a
solid foundation for resource management in Taranaki. This

As the definition of an oil spill in Part 132 reads “…an actual or probable release, discharge, or escape
of oil”, a natural oil seep resulting from dredging activities is already regulated by Part 132 and the
MTA. Do you therefore need Rule 4? If so, all relevant sections of Part 132 would apply including
