Subject: FW: [EXTERNAL] Wilmington District Contact Form: SolarBees in Jordan Lake
Hello Ms. Banaitis:
This web form inquiry was sent to me via the regulatory program portal for our web site. I received a notice that the
system had some problems so these deliveries were delayed.
It is my understanding that this comment was intended for the staff managing Corps activities at Jordon Lake, and not
the regulatory program.
I also see that no reply has been requested; however, given the delay in receiving this correspondence, I copied my
email to you to Mr. Frei.
Thank you,
Elizabeth Porter, GIS Professional
Special Projects Manager, Regulatory Division US Army Corps of Engineers Wilmington District

I hear the NCDENR is rushing to get 36 SolarBees installed in Jordan Lake.
This is a crazy idea. Without considering the unproven hypothesis (pseudo- science) behind these things, their presence
in the lake will create numerous navigation hazards.

I would hope that, at a minimum, an EIS as required by NEPA and a 404 certification, would be completed before these
devices are installed.
However, as an active boater on Jordan Lake, I would hope that the Corps would prohibit these devices completely.
