The item requests that the committee decides to exercise its "delegated powers" to make a decision of the same effect as the local authority itself could have.
"And that the decision deserves urgency and the decision is carried unanimously".
Also on the agenda are air quality, clean waterways, and the stress on Hawke's Bay's estuaries.
Among other things, the committee will be asked to take of note of a 2016 air quality report. This notes that while air quality in Hawke's Bay was "very good most of the time", levels of fine particulate (PM10) could exceed health standards in winter months.
A paper before the committee, written by Dr Kathleen Kozyniak, noted exposure to PM10 was linked to respiratory and cardiovascular ailments as well as being carcinogenic.
Citing a 2012 report, the paper noted the estimated impacts of this on the population of Hawke's Bay annually included 54 hospital admissions, 113 premature adult deaths and social costs of $411 million - based on data from 2006.
The National Environmental Standard (NES) for PM10 is 50 micrograms of particulate per cubic metre of air averaged over 24 hours, with only one exceedance allowed in an airshed in a 12-month period. Last year, the PM10 standard was exceeded seven times in Hastings, and was not exceeded in Napier or Awatoto.
The committee will also be updated on planned council scientific and management activities relating to the Ahuriri and Waitangi estuaries, detailing expenditure over the next three years.
At a December council meeting it was requested council staff urgently prepare this report.
This came after a report highlighted stress to the Waitangi Estuary resulting from increased sediment delivery, elevated nutrient levels, human disturbance and habitat reduction.
Stress was also highlighted to the Ahuriri Estuary resulting from expansion of a marine invasive species, increased sediment delivery, elevated nutrient levels, habitat disturbance and reduction.
The committee will also be updated today on the Government's proposed changes to the National Policy Statement for Freshwater Management 2014.
Announced by Environment Minister Nick Smith last month, these proposed changes replace the current attribute table for E. Coli under the human health value.
