[Durham INC] FYI -- Indy letter wrt Jordan Lake Survey

Impartial survey needed 

As a longtime resident of Durham, I could point with some pride to the Bull
City's record on environmental issues—until recently, that is. I have just
learned that there are plans to reduce protections for Jordan Lake and even New
Hope Creek, which feeds into the public reservoir (ongoing coverage on the Indy's
Triangulator
blog, by Matt Saldaña). 

Also disturbing is the fact that part of the rationale for change was a
survey of the lake's boundaries commissioned by a developer. 

In recent years, there has been no shortage of examples of the dire
consequences that result when standards are compromised in policies related to
public health, of which protecting the safety of the water supply is surely
one. 

It is essential that Durham County conduct a second study done by a
disinterested party. The study could be done in concert with other nearby
counties that could share the costs. The stakes are too high and the risks too
grave to not have a second, more impartial opinion in this crucial matter.
