Dear Mr. Bashaw:
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.
A reply to this letter would be appreciated.
Sincerely,
Paula J. Stober
