Subject: [EXTERNAL] Jordan Lake pollution
Dear U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Wilmington District Mr. Justin Bashaw,
Please address the sources of pollution that make our lake toxic. SolarBees are not effective. Why put a bandaid on a
problem that could be solved? 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.
Sincerely,
Sarah Weil
