70B: Implementation of national environmental standards
or “This rule explains how to follow nationwide guidelines for protecting the environment.”
You could also call this:

“Rules about special areas near the water when new land is created have been removed from the law.”

This part of the law used to have rules about esplanade reserves on reclamation. These were areas of land set aside near the water when new land was created. However, this section of the law doesn’t exist anymore. It was removed on 7 July 1993. If you want to know more about esplanade reserves or reclamation, you might need to look at other parts of the Resource Management Act or ask someone who knows about New Zealand’s environmental laws.
