and Sustainable Land Management
Programmes.
The Council’s package includes:

entering or damaging the banks of streams (soil erosion and the
direct deposition of animal wastes). Because phosphate binds to soil, prevention of soil loss
and soil transport into streams has a major added benefit of reduced phosphate transport.
Overseas studies reviewed within this report indicate that riparian control can reduce
sediment, phosphate, and bacteriological loadings from diffuse pollution runoff by up to 80%.
It is recognised that riparian plantings are less effective at reducing

Taranaki..
Recommended
That the Taranaki Regional Council:
a) notes that the Council is required by the RMA to commence a review of the
Regional Air Quality Plan for Taranaki no later than July 2021
b) agrees to commence a full review of the Regional Air Quality Plan for Taranaki in
conjunction with the reviews of the
a rule in a regional plan, or by national
regulations. The Council permits as of right, some discharges to land (for example clean sand or soil or
concrete to land, as occurs during re-instatement). Most other discharges require a resource consent.
There are eight monitored quarries in Taranaki that hold cleanfill discharge consents.

1.2 Process description
Cleanfill material 1.2.1
Cleanfill material is any material that when buried will have no adverse effect on
people or the environment. Cleanfill material includes natural materials such as clay,
sand, soil and rock, and other inert materials such as concrete or brick, cement or
cement wastes, mortar, tiles (clay, ceramic or concrete), non-tanalised timber,
porcelain, glass, gravels, fibreglass, plastics, stumps and roots, whether
sediment, deriving from soil disturbance for the purpose of
constructing the wellsite; consent 9478-1 to discharge treated stormwater, treated produced
water and surplus drilling water onto and into land where it may enter an unnamed
tributary of the Waiau Stream; consent 9479-1 to take groundwater; and consent 9480-1 to
discharge contaminants associated with hydraulic fracturing activities into land.
The Council’s monitoring programme for the period under review included 21 inspections of
the
resource
management, including for integrated management.
Provide the rules by which air, land and freshwater
activities are either permitted without a resource
consent, allowed through the approval of a resource
consent, or prohibited.
Set out the matters which need to be considered,
given effect to, or managed in relation to permitted
or consented activities.
The Council is undertaking a full review of its Regional
Policy Statement, Regional Freshwater Plan, Regional Air
Plan and Regional Soil
