Subject: [EXTERNAL] Solar Bees on Lake Jordan
Dear U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Wilmington District Mr. Justin Bashaw,
Please do whatever you can to block 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 not a good idea!
Jordan Lake is plagued by nitrogen and phosphorus pollution from upstream sources and these unproven floating mixers
cannot treat adequately.
Please oppose the use of SolarBees on Jordan Lake.
Thank you.
Sincerely,
Tom Plaut
