Abstract:

In 2009, the North Carolina legislature launched SolarBees, a two-million dollar pilot program to test a cheaper water-cleaning alternative in Jordan Lake. Last week, the Department of Environmental Quality abandoned the SolarBees project because data indicated it was completely ineffective. Now the state must get serious about water quality in the lake that provides drinking water to Wake and Chatham counties.
