Subject: [EXTERNAL] Stop SolarBees feeble attempt to delay NC cleaning up pollution!
Dear U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Wilmington District Mr. Justin Bashaw,
Please oppose the use of SolarBees on Jordan Lake. North Carolina needs to move forward with the promised pollution
controls of runoff from new and existing development, and upgrades to upstream wastewater treatment plants, NOT by
employing unproven floating mixers in the lake. Jordan Lake provides drinking water for more than 300,000 people. 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
recreational lake.
I urge you to please oppose the use of SolarBees on Jordan Lake. .
Thank you.
Sincerely,
Bonnie Westbrook
