7.6.5 Alterations to monitoring programmes for <strong>2007</strong>-2008<br />
In designing and implementing the monitoring programmes for air/water<br />
discharges in the region, the <strong>Taranaki</strong> <strong>Regional</strong> <strong>Council</strong> has taken into account the<br />
extent of information made available by previous authorities, its relevance under the<br />
Resource Management Act, the obligations of the Act in terms of monitoring<br />
emissions/discharges and effects, and subsequently <strong>report</strong>ing to the regional<br />
community, the scope of assessments required at the time of renewal of permits, and<br />
the need to maintain a sound understanding of industrial processes within <strong>Taranaki</strong><br />
emitting to the atmosphere/discharging to the environment.
