Dear U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Wilmington District Mr. Justin Bashaw,
As a concerned citizen of North Carolina, please oppose the use of SolarBees on Jordan Lake. 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,
James Kelleher
