Subject: [EXTERNAL] SolarBees Are Not the Solution
Dear U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Wilmington District Mr. Justin Bashaw,
Please oppose the use of SolarBees on Jordan Lake, a short - sighted approach to a much larger problem. A million people
visit the lake each year to camp, swim, boat, paddle or fish and these floating mixers pose a real threat. The mixers sit
low in the water and could be easily missed by boaters, water skiers and jet skiers. There is also no evidence that these
mixers will work to clean up the pollution in this popular recreational destination. Efforts should be focused on cutting
off the sources of pollution to Jordan Lake rather than these stop -gap measures that do not address the real problem.
Thank you.
Sincerely,
Ben Steil
