Please pick the response below that represents your stance on the above mentioned project?* Yes - I agree with the project. No - I do not agree with he project. Comment I am opposed to the Westpoint development and their Permit application for the following reason: The mouth of Warren creek (which the developer calls "unnamed tributary') and Black Meadow Creek are the two watersheds / wetland areas the 401 Permit is applying for disturbances on. These two creeks will be the main avenue for development site runoff. The concern with this comes from the fact that the mouths of two tributaries are some of the highest used places on the West Point on the Eno City Park for swimming, fishing and recreation. In particular the pools at the end of Black Meadow Creek are used for fishing and swimming - especially by younger children and their familes. Warren Creek on the otherhand flows near Sennett's Hole which is used by hundreds of people every summer weekend for swimming, fishing and recreation. Diminished water quality in these creeks would likely have human health impacts, given how activelt this area is visited. This further exemplifies the strong public interest in further assessing and protecting the water qualitty og this critical region.
