The Eno River is the crown jewel of the Durham area. It means the world to me and my community and makes
Durham the beautiful place it is. Endangering our water supply in the way that the Westpoint project would is
unethical and unnecessary. As indigenous and climate leaders around the world remind us: Water Is Life.
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.
Sincerely,
China Medel

The significant scope of this project scares me in terms of its potential negative impacts on Durham water and
wildlife and large contribution to the city and county's already congested streets - in an area with less access to
public transportation (meaning most of these residents will be driving cars, not riding buses).
I have been a resident of Durham since 1998. While not a life-er, I have experienced how what started as
welcome development evolved to a striking move from green spaces to concrete. The forest and undeveloped
land around West Point on the Eno are a destination for residents to enjoy the Eno and surrounding wildlife.
I can not imagine how hundreds of townhomes on 60 acres of land could NOT impact the waters and wildlife of
the West Eno. We are at a point in our development as a city and county where we must protect the dwindling
numbers of natural spaces that exist... Not squeeze in hundreds of townhomes to maximize profits to a particular
builder.
This may be a great project - in another location. A location that does not threaten water quality and wildlife
sustainability.
