I am opposed to the Westpoint development and their permit application. This potential development stands to
negatively impacts the Eno River and its surrounding waterways. 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 also believe that the Save Black Meadow Ridge group has raised many concerns that I share, and I believe
each point being raised by this group needs more thorough investigation, and would appreciate a response that
reflects the vetting of those concerns.
Our city, our lands, and our waterways deserve more than development for development's sake. I enjoy taking
my two sons to many of our local parks with natural waterways such as the Eno River, including West Point on
the Eno City Park. I want them to grow up and be able to enjoy these small pieces of nature that are maintained,
rather than ruined, by human hands. We share this Earth with many other creatures, and we humans need to be
responsible caretakers of our precious resources.
This is a project that should be deemed to have a significant public Impact and likely needs greater oversight
through a different permit type and higher level of review.
Regards,
Jason Crockett
