Last Name Fout Email * juliafout@gmail.com *** The intent for collecting an email address is to allow us send you a receipt for submittal of this comment. 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 the project. Comment To whom it may concern: 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. I do not think this project or specific permit is in the Public Interest of Durham residents or the environment- and I believe a Public Hearing should be required for this development. I am opposed to the Westpoint development and their Permit application for the following reasons. The application omits how the development has negative impacts on water quality, specifically Durham's drinking water The application ignores public safety concerns about direct human contact with water/runoff from the development The application contains incomplete, conflicting, and/or incorrect information The application omits how the development negatively impacts threatened and endangered species and their habitat The application does not account for how the development negatively impacts historic sites Wrong Permit type - based on impacts, public Interest, and appreciable opposition Due to the above reasons I believe the permit type the Westpoint developer applied for needs review from the US Army Corps of Engineers, along with additional oversight and impact assessments. I am requesting a public hearing from the Division of Water Resources per code: 15A NCAC .02H .0503 Upload Supplementary Files Pdf file type only Any information (e.g., personal or contact) you provide on this comment form or in an attachment may be publicly disclosed and searchable on the Internet and will be provided to the Department or Agency issuing the notice.
