B-1 - Area 1, Coromandel Forest Park – Assessment of Environmental Effects 103 Discharges to air are to be managed so as to avoid, remedy or mitigate objectionable effects beyond the property boundary.15 Potential effects on air quality are addressed in detail in Section 5.11 of this AEE, which concludes that the ambient concentrations of key contaminants associated with activities within Area 1 are expected to remain within the relevant standards and guideline values, thus preserving human health.16 In addition, a number of management measures are proposed by OGNZL as part of the proposed consent conditions (including the implementation of a comprehensive Air Quality Management Plan) to ensure that any discharges to air are managed and controlled so they do not result in objectionable effects beyond a property boundary.17 These measures will also ensure that the potential degradation of air quality is kept as low as reasonably practicable, particularly within the vicinity of the ventilation raises which will exhaust over CFP.18 In light of the above, it is considered that the activities within Area 1 will meet the management outcomes sought by Objective 3.11 and Policies 5.2 and 5.3 of the RPS with respect to air quality and the control of the effects of air discharges. 7.5.1.2 Freshwater Bodies Objective 3.14 of the RPS and associated policies seek to maintain or enhance the mauri and identified values of freshwater bodies. It proposes to do this by implementing many of the outcomes sought by the objectives and policies of the NPSFM, including: Maintaining or enhancing the overall quality of freshwater within the Waikato Region;19 Safeguarding the life-supporting capacity of freshwater bodies and their outstanding or significant values;20 Enabling people to provide for their social, economic and cultural wellbeing;21 Establishing objectives, limits and targets for freshwater bodies;22 Recognising that there will be variable management response within different catchments;23 and, 15 Policy 5.3, Waikato Regional Policy Statement. 16 Objective 3.11(b), Waikato Regional Policy Statement. 17 Objective 3.11(c) and Policy 5.3, Waikato Regional Policy Statement. 18 Objective 3.11(a) and Policy 5.2, Waikato Regional Policy Statement. 19 Policy 8.6(a), Waikato Regional Policy Statement. 20 Policy 8.8(b), Waikato Regional Policy Statement. 21 Policy 8.6(c), Waikato Regional Policy Statement. 22 Objective 3.14(e), Waikato Regional Policy Statement. 23 Objective 3.14(g), Waikato Regional Policy Statement.
