Policy 7-5
: Fine particles in Taihape, Taumarunui and other unacceptable airsheds
The Regional Council has established airsheds for Taihape and Taumarunui, as shown in Schedule H, on the basis that the fine particle (
PM
10
*
) levels at these centres breach the
National Environmental Standards^
under
Policy 7-1
. The Regional Council must establish additional airsheds where monitoring shows fine particle levels that are in breach of the
National Environmental Standards^
4
.
Strategies to reduce fine particle (
PM
10
*
) levels must be established by 2011 for Taumarunui and Taihape, and after this date for any other airsheds with concentrations of fine particles that breach the
National Environmental Standards^
. The strategies will primarily focus on existing
woodburners*
and other home heating appliances, and will identify ways of facilitating and supporting the changes necessary to comply with the fine particle standard.
Applications to
discharge^
fine particles (
PM
10
*
) in the Taihape and Taumarunui airsheds (and within any other airsheds with concentrations of fine particles that breach the
National Environmental Standards^
and which are gazetted by the Regional Council) that are likely to increase significantly the concentration of fine particles (
PM
10
*
) in those airsheds, must be managed in accordance with regulations 17A and 17C of the
Resource Management (National Environmental Standards Relating to Certain Air Pollutants, Dioxins, and Other Toxics) Regulations 2004
.
4
Under the Resource Management (Environmental Standards Relating to Certain Air Pollutants, Dioxins, and
Other Toxics) Regulations 2004 airsheds must be established for areas failing to meet the National Environmental
Standards for
ambient air
* quality, for the purpose of monitoring and managing air quality.
Policy 7-6
: Fine particles in Ohakune, Feilding, Dannevirke and Pahiatua and other degraded areas
The Regional Council will generally only grant
resource consents^
to
discharge^
fine particles (
PM
10
*
) into the air in Ohakune, Feilding, Dannevirke and Pahiatua and other areas classified as degraded under
Policy 7-1
:
if the applicant has shown that the
discharge^
is the
best practicable option^
, and the consent is for a duration of five years or less, or
if the applicant can show that the
discharge^
of
PM
10
*
will be offset by a reduction in other sources of
PM
10
*
within the same area.
Policy 7-7
: Fine particles in airsheds within the Region
All applications to
discharge^
fine particles (
PM
10
*
) into airsheds within the Region lodged before 1 September 2013 must be managed in accordance with regulation 18 of the
Resource Management (National Environmental Standards Relating to Certain Air Pollutants, Dioxins, and Other Toxics) Regulations 2004
.
All applications to
discharge^
fine particles (
PM
10
*
)
within the Region lodged after 1 September 2013 must be managed in accordance with regulation 19 of the
Resource Management (National Environmental Standards Relating to Certain Air Pollutants, Dioxins, and Other Toxics) Regulations 2004
.
