Comment
I am opposed to the Westpoint development and their Permit application for the following reason:
The Westpoint development and proposed impacts to streams and wetlands through the individual 401
Certification are within that critical Area of Protection outlined by the City of Durham City Planning in 2019 and
voted on with support from the Durham County Commissioners Office and Orange County. The proposed
development will harm the City of Durham's ongoing long-term plans for our water supply. Since 2007-2008,
when Teer Quary had to be used as an emergency water supply, the City of Durham has planned for Teer Quary
to be incorporated and used as a long term solution. The proposed Westpoint development is less than 1 mile
from the propsed Terry Quarry watrer intake. The risk of contamination is especially harmful due to the fact that
the proposed Westpoint development is the highest density housing on the Eno River in ADurham with
remarkably high impervious surfaces percentages of over 70%. This level of development, close to a river and
public water source goes against numerous recommendations by the City og Durham, and the State of North
Carolina Protecting the water integrity of Teer Quarry represents a major Public interest!
