Comment
I am absolutely opposed to the Westpoint development and their permit application!! Now more than ever we
need to protect our environment, and the current assessments do NOT reflect the true picture and outcomes of
the development's impacts and the impacts from the 401 Individual Clean Water Act Permit disturbances. This
project is NOT in the Public Interest of Durham residents OR the environment.
This project will have negative impacts on water quality and Durham's drinking water. I have concerns with urban
stormwater runoff, which is much more concerning given the extreme environmental events that have been
experienced globally more consistently over recent years due to global warming. The project doesn't fully
address the negative impacts to historic sites. Multiple endangered species are at risk, including the Neuse River
Waterdog salamander, Atlantic Pigtoe mollusks, and Carolina Madtom.
In addition, the West Point on the Eno serves as a valuable asset to the Durham community as a safe space in
nature to seek out exercise, activity, and time to immerse in nature and marvel at the natural world. To lose even
some of this space to development would be SUCH a loss to our community, with long-term impacts and
adverse ramifications for future citizens. Please do not move forward with this project.
