<em>Reminder: Please comment NOW before the October 28
deadline!<br><br>
This may be Durham Citizens’ only chance to protect West Point on
the Eno Park from the destructive “Westpoint”
development.</em></h2>

The planned construction for the Westpoint development will clear
over sixty acres of forest and then build nearly a mile of
townhomes on the southern border of the West Point on the Eno park.
Since this construction will impact the surrounding streams, stream
buffers, and wetlands, the developer is required to complete
federal and state applications related to the Clean Water Act
before any construction is approved. <br><br><span>This provides a rare chance, possibly the only chance, for
public comment about the Westpoint project!<br><br>
Visit the web site to learn more about our opposition to the
Permit, and details on how you can submit a comment to the NC
Department of Environmental Quality.<br><br><a href="https://www.blackmeadowridge.org/clean-water-permit-application" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer">https://www.blackmeadowridge.org/clean-water-permit-application</a><br><br>
We have detailed our concerns about these areas and
more:</span></p>
<ul><li>
negative impacts on water quality, including drinking water.</li>
<li>
public safety concerns about direct human contact with runoff from
the development</li>
<li>
negative impacts on threatened and endangered species and their
habitat</li>
