HOROWHENUA LAKE ACCORD 2015 and now they have the Chinese lawnmowers to cut the weeds each year??

Good or bad the whole Accord members know the probem and a clean Lake can only be solved by dredging the seed bad & sludge from the bottom.

1/. Monitor the inlets and stop the pollution coming in & prosecute those who flaunt this

&

2/. Dredge the Lake.

NOTHING ELSE

Well read the latest April 2014 report

As put forward to them they HAVE NOT BOTHERED

1/. To monitor the inlets for further pollution & to prosecute notice on anyone who pollutes the Lake. Well we all know the Council wish to continue dumping waste into our Lake

2/. They have not even looked at removing the sediment from the Lake bed.

3/. They have zero contingency plans apart from pretty plans ro do everything but clean the toilet--the sludge.

WHAT TO EXPECT FROM THIS ACCORD:

1/. Accord members will be paid attendence fees same as Lake Trustees who cannot even express themsleves what the remedy to this Lake is? ask any Lake Trustee who signed this Accord as you will get a blank answer but we hope they all work in together for a good outcome

Chris Findlayson

But check some of the Ministers: In Nov 2014 Chris Findlayson whose also SIS Minister defended the ludicrous 1 day submission process on the grounds that 6 months of chitchat really wasn't necessary. Will coming from Chris indicates a sin rather than telling lies. He quickly reassured the public his comment had just been the proiduct of an early morning interview.

ROTORUA LAKES YET HOROWHENUA GET A PITENCE

Environment Minister Amy Adams announced on May 11th $24 million will be used to address land use management and counter the effects of urban waste water and the ongoing effects of historical farming practices. The money is from an original funding of $72 million in 2008 as part of the Rotorua Te Arawa lakes water quality improvements programme, between the district and regional councils and Te Arawa Lakes Trust. The Crown provided half of the $144 million needed to help restore four priority lakes _ Rotorua, Rotoiti, Okareka and Rotoehu. The rest of the funding was jointly made by the Rotorua District Council and Bay of Plenty Regional Council.

PROPOSED PLAN CLEANUP

It has been 62 years that Horowhenua Lake has had sediment, sewerage and contaminants from dairy & horticulture in this Lake ? The Lake is choked with weed, sediment and manures from horticulture and dairy farm run offs account for 50% of the water runoff and this Lake is No 107 of a total 114 most contaminated Lakes in NZ by the Ministry of the Environment. Once rich in food sources from mussels to kakahi it has now been reduced to a contaminated mess.

Now the Council want rate payers to fund $191,000 of the costs when they have already been given Government money?April 2015. The MTA are doing nothing they are a nothing.
