Subject: [EXTERNAL] Lake Jordan Pollution
Dear U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Wilmington District Mr. Justin Bashaw,
To use Solarbees in Lake Jordan to control pollution would be about as useful as putting them in the Great Lakes to
acheive the control of pollution in Lake Jordan, Please oppose the use of SolarBees on Jordan Lake. North Carolina
needs to move forward with the promised controls of runoff from new and existing development, and upgrades to
upstream wastewater treatment plants, NOT by employing unproven floating mixers in the lake. The $1.65 million state
earmark that funded the SolarBee 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 SolarBees on Jordan Lake.
Thank you.
Sincerely,
william lyons
