and 36 of the RFWP do not include any matters of control that expressly allow for the consideration of
matters such as those expressed in the NPS-FM objective. Given that the Council can only consider policies
that relate to the matters over which the Council has reserved control through the plan itself, the Council is
unable to take into account matters that fall outside this scope.

quality (NES), and requires regional councils to demonstrate that air meets the standard. Taranaki is one of only two regions that has never exceeded the NES air quality guidelines, always falling into the Ministry for the Environment's categories of 'Acceptable' to 'Excellent'. Intensive ongoing air quality monitoring is therefore not required in Taranaki. What do we look for?
Since 1991, the Council has gathered air quality data at up to 20 representative sites across the region including urban,
process areas and roadways, the stormwater collection and retention systems, stormwater sampling and
release records and inspections of the discharge point and receiving waters in the Herekawe Stream.
Scheduled inspections were carried out on 21 August and 5 November 2020, and 11 February and 20 May
2021.
Notes from these visits are summarised below. Records of production and incinerator operation were
inspected and found to be satisfactory.

other issues were noted around the site.

Monk Rd Site:
The discharged wood waste appeared to be very clean and free of unacceptable wastes.
The new pond pipe had been connected to the existing pipe that led down to the
culvert under Monk Rd. Due to low flow conditions the culvert at Monk Road was only
