Janel World Trade, Ltd. (OTC Bulletin Board: JLWT),
a full-service global provider of integrated logistics and environmental
services, today announced that its Environmental Projects Division has
received a Sponsor Letter from The Wuxi Water Resources Bureau. Funding
and grants for any environmental project in China requires a sponsor
from a reputable Chinese firm or agency. This will be the second Sponsor
Letter Janel and its Consortium has received from Wuxi officials
regarding the well publicized cleanup of Lake Tai:
“A comprehensive approach is needed to address these water quality
issues including; i). Identify the current water quality of Taihu Lake;
ii). Improve the basin management using water modeling; iii). Strengthen
the pollution control of point and non-point sources; and v). Study the
advanced technologies for algae removal and dredging, dewatering and
disposal. We believe the Janel World Trade Consortium owns rich
experiences in these fields, and we fully support these efforts” wrote
Mr. Miao Xuejun, Vice Director of The Wuxi Water Resources Bureau.
Paul McCreary, President of Janel’s Environmental Projects Division said
“this second sponsor letter and additional level of support from Wuxi
officials certainly validates our environmental concepts and initiatives
in the Lake Tai region. We are very proud to have The Wuxi Water
Resources Bureau as a supporter and as a sponsor.”
In May 2007, Lake Tai was overtaken by a major algae
bloom and remains plagued by major pollution with high levels of
bacteria, coliform and fecal coliform. The lake provides water to nearly
30 million residents, including about three million in Wuxi alone. As of
October 2007, the Chinese government had shut down or given notice to
over 1,300 factories around the lake, but the damage to the water basin
had already been done. The urbanization level around the Lake Tai basin
ranks first in China. With the development of industry, agriculture and
an increased living standard in recent decades, the water pollution
issue of Tai Lake is worsening.
