Comment
I am strongly opposed to this project. The Eno River park area is a treasure, not only for the citizens of Durham
but the surrounding areas. I have spent many happy hours at the West Point park with my children and now my
grandchildren. This proposed residential development project is harmful in so many ways:
* it has the potential to impact safe drinking water for the city of Durham
* runoff from the construction has the potential to destroy popular watersheds/wetlands used for swimming,
fishing and other recreational activities
* the permit contains incorrect, incomplete or conflicting information with regard to environmental compliance
with the Clean Water Act
* the application fails to account for potential damage to historic sites, including the Eno Grist Mill and the
potential for flooding in the existing park area as a result of this new constriction
having this many residences in such close proximity to the park will destroy the beauty and quiet of this beloved
area
I strongly encourage the Division of Water Resources to hold a public hearing on this matter. Additionally the
existing permit should be reviewed by them and the US Army Corps of Engineers and they should reject the
application as it proposed as I do not believe the assessments made therein reflect the true impact of this
proposed development. A further look into the permit type required should be considered by the USACE.
Thank you.
