[EXTERNAL] Jordan Lake needs help - but not this kind
Dear U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Wilmington District Mr. Justin Bashaw,
LET'S FIX JORDAN LIKE THE RIGHT WAY AND NOT APPROVE THIS "BAND -AID" SUPPOSED SOLUTION.
I urge you to please oppose the use of SolarBees on Jordan Lake. The federal Clean Water Act requires that pollution be
treated at the source of the problem, not downstream in public waters. By employing floating mixers (known as
SolarBees) downstream in Jordan Lake the state is not complying with federal law. This is unacceptable!
Jordan Lake is plagued by nitrogen and phosphorus pollution from upstream sources and these unproven floating mixers
do not treat that. When these mixers fail to do their job, the condition of Jordan Lake will be worse than ever.
Please oppose the use of SolarBees on Jordan Lake.
Thank you.
Sincerely,
Ellen Strader
