Comment I am opposed to the Westpoint development and their permit application. I do not think the assessments reflect the true picture of the development's impacts and the impacts from the 401 Individual Clean Water Act Permit disturbances. As a Durham resident for 33 years and a citizen scientist I have enjoyed studying the Eno River Park flora and fauna. The damage that will be done by such a development adjacent to the park is terrible in so many ways. I have seen development in Durham over the years and I have seen the shoddy ways the developers put up little pieces of canvas to prevent silt run off. It always results in pollution of the nearby waterways. Once waterways are silted up the macro invertebrates cannot exist and the food chain is broken.lt cannot be repaired. It is inevitable that a development of this size will do untold damage to this wonderful habitat and the animals and plants will be harmed. The idea of blasting and grading right alongside West Point on the Eno is heartbreaking. This park is a gem in Durham and it should be protected from such a deleterious development..
