Costly Burden
The process of creating, constructing, and protecting Ark Two definitely requires a lot of money. The cost of it is carried not only by Beach but by his family as well. The maintenance of the bunker can certainly be a challenge, especially if funds are running low. Mishaps and pest infestations have also contributed to the increasing cost of maintaining the shelter. For example, rats have taken over the underground shelter. The rodents discovered the wheat bags that were stored in the bunker and all of the supplies were destroyed and eaten up by the pests. When the supplies were gone, the rats then proceeded to invade his home! The infestation was not the end of such challenges as Beach also went through theft, fires, and floods. These were not the only things he had to face while maintaining his underground bunker.

Hazard To The Community
Although some have shown support for Beach’s project, the local government of Ontario was not at all pleased to learn about it. For them, Ark Two was a huge and dangerous facility even if Beach claims otherwise. The government discovered that the facility was constructed without the necessary permits. However, Beach did explain that he tried to get the proper permits for the underground bunker. He even went to court for it for more than thirty times just to get the permits. On the other hand, the local government of Ontario also spent about $250,000 just to shut Ark Two down. Bruce Beach, in the name of his vision, has surely made plenty of enemies. His perseverance, however, is driven by one particular reason.
