A request for funds made in a report presented to Horizons strategy and policy committee on 13 November 13, 2018 to complete, "an integrated stormwater management plan...to reduce sediment loss from horticultural farms and the stormwater drainage network" stated the work, "is outside of the area that is administered by the Lake Trust on behalf of the Beneficial Owners of the lake. This project is largely based on roadsides and private land."
But the Lake Horowhenua Accord Action Plan 2014-2016 and the Ministry for the Environment both state one of the projects is the, "completion of an integrated stormwater management plan for the Arawhata sub-catchment to reduce sediment loss from horticultural farms and the stormwater drainage network."
Horizons freshwater and partnerships manager Logan Brown also admitted, "this was one of the projects that was funded through the Clean-Up fund" but said "the majority of funding" was spent on two other projects including "the sediment trap and the weed harvesting project."
Funds were also spent on an, "integrated stormwater project...with the majority of the focus on reducing sediment losses from land as well as additional surveying, and increased drainage in a few select areas."
"This was only ever the start of the project and this proposal is to build on the work that was started," said Mr Brown.
Lake Accord partners have received $1.5 million from the Environment Ministry including $540,000 from the Fresh Start for Freshwater Fund and $980,000 from the Te Mana o Te Wai Fund for another Lake Horowhenua project called Te Kakapa Manawa o MuaUpoko; the latter fund has been closed by the Labour-led Government.
Horizons and Horowhenua District Council contributed $842,000 to both funds - $730,000 for clean-up and $112,160 towards the Te Mana o Te Wai Fund- and received "in-kind support" from agricultural and dairying organisations Tararua Growers Association and DairyNZ.
A June 2008 Hokio Drainage Scheme Review Report states "Water quality in Lake Horowhenua is more affected by catchment-wide nutrient runoff from intensive dairy farming, horticulture and market gardens and polluted urban runoff from Levin."
In a section on the Hokio Stream and Lake Horowhenua Weir Horizons the review says, "In any case the whole lake will inevitably act as a large sediment trap, regardless of the outflow level, with most deposition occurring close to the main inflows."
Lake Accord partners include both local and regional councils, The Department of Conservation, the Lake Domain Board and Lake Horowhenua Trustees.

I am wondering if there is anyone out there who either knows or could refer me to someone for information regarding a very old Japanese plate/bowl that I have.
This item has been hand made in a clay or some other such product. This is a decorative item I would say as the inside of it is hand painted and the paint on it is raised. The image is of two Samurai warriors dressed in their full ceremonial costumes and one of the warriors is kneeling in front of the other in a paying homage position. The other images shown are like scenery and other images I dont understand. The only thing I know about this item is that it was purchased in either Nagasaki or Hiroshima not long after these places were regrettably bombed for 2 packs of smokes. The plate has cracks on the bottom of it, but the main integrity of it is not compromised. I know very little about this item and would love someone who knows what they are talking about to get back to me or if not recommend someone who knows something about old Japanese pottery
