Subject: [EXTERNAL] Use Of SolarBees In Jordan Lake
Dear U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Wilmington District Mr. Justin Bashaw,
I am writing to you today to oppose the use of SolarBees on Jordan Lake. There is no evidence that these poorly -
conceived floating mixers will clean up the pollution. Jordan Lake is plagued by nitrogen and phosphorus pollution from
upstream sources and these mixers do not treat that type of pollution. When these mixers fail to do their job, the
condition of Jordan Lake will be worse than ever and will still not address or correct the pollution at the source, so
municipalities will still have to spend additional money for filtration systems.
Please oppose the use of SolarBees on Jordan Lake.
Thank you.
Sincerely,
Richard Roberts
