107: Restriction on grant of certain discharge permits
or “ Rules about when you can't let people put yucky stuff in water that might hurt animals or make the water dirty ”
You could also call this:

“Rules about when people can get permission to release greenhouse gases have been removed from the law.”

This section of the law used to have rules about giving out resource consents. Resource consents are permissions you need to do certain things that might affect the environment. However, this part of the law doesn’t exist anymore. It was taken out of the Resource Management Act 1991 on 1 April 2011. The change was made by another law called the Marine and Coastal Area (Takutai Moana) Act 2011. If you want to know more about the current rules for resource consents, you’ll need to look at other parts of the Resource Management Act or newer laws.
