The Trump administration has labeled the algae cleanup operation in the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool a "regional and national priority" in an email to staff, urging them to work overtime to scrub the monument in time for July 4 celebrations, according to a report.
President Donald Trump's $14 million pet project to resurface the 2,000-foot pool, which was supposed to make the water appear an "American flag blue," has turned green after becoming infested with algae just days after completion.
National Park Service employees received an email, obtained by MeidasTouch, urging them to support "critical pre-July 4th operational needs" at the Reflecting Pool, according to the outlet.
Crews are required to help with "scrubbing and pump out operations" at the Washington, D.C. landmark and are being asked to work 12-hour shifts beginning this week in a bid to rid the pool of algae, the outlet reports.
