INC NEWS - Cases B08000008, B0800003 and D0700459 (site plan for city council review)

[Melissa Rooney]

Thought you all should be aware of 3 development cases
that will require filling and building IN the
floodplain. Surely this is no less a bad idea now than
before our creeks, streams, and lakes became impaired
and violated the Federal Clean Water Act. Aren't we
supposed to be CLEANING UP Jordan Lake?

Please protect your wetlands and water supply by
contacting your local gov't with your comments about
these projects: council at ci.durham.nc.us,
commissioners at durhamcountync.gov

private school located on 7415 Fayetteville Road. MORE
THAN 1/3 OF THIS PROPERTY IS IN THE FLOODPLAIN. Public

Chambers). I cannot attend

B0800003: Request for a minor special use permit for a
