Hawkes Bay Maintenance Dredging Site - Hawkes Bay Regional Council

A Maintenance Dredging Site is a site where any dredging of the seabed necessary to maintain water depths to dredging levels previously approved by a resource consent, for the safe and convenient navigation of ships in navigation channels and at berthing and mooring facilities takes place. Areas will be identified where the disposal of dredge material from specified sources is appropriate. Identification of these areas generally facilitates activities disturbing the foreshore and seabed and does not imply the discharge of contaminants is allowed.
