Subject: [EXTERNAL] Please help us keep Jordan Lake really clean!
Dear U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Wilmington District Mr. Justin Bashaw,
We love this lake!! 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,
Patrice Neal
