Subject: [EXTERNAL] Tell USACE: No SolarBees on Jordan Lake
Dear U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Wilmington District Mr. Justin Bashaw,
Please oppose the use of Solar Bees on Jordan Lake. North Carolina needs to move forward with the promised controls
of runoff from new and existing development, and upgrades to upstream waste -water treatment plants, NOT by
employing unproven floating mixers in the lake. The $1.65 million state earmark that funded the Solar Bee 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 Solar Bees on Jordan Lake.
Thank you.
Sincerely,
Wendy Horne
