Subject: [EXTERNAL] Jordan Lake Pollution
Dear U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Wilmington District Mr. Justin Bashaw,
The issue at Jordan Lake is not algae but pollution which has been ignored for way too long.
SolarBees on Jordan Lake solve nothing for the far more critical pollution issue. North Carolina needs to move forward
with the promised controls of runoff from new and existing development, and upgrades to upstream wastewater
treatment plants, NOT by employing unproven floating mixers in the lake. The $1.65 million state earmark that funded
the SolarBee project created a single- source, no -bid contract that funnels money to the company that makes the mixers.
This means no competition and no serious evaluation of whether this technology will work on Jordan Lake. It's just
another way for lawmakers to delay real pollution controls on this beautiful lake.
I urge you to please oppose the use of SolarBees on Jordan Lake.
Thank you.
Sincerely,
Beverly Tatum
