[Durham INC] Jordan Rules pass -- New HRA campaigns

[Melissa Rooney]

Please see pertinent info from the Haw River Assembly below. The Jordan Lake Citizen Survey fund has reached just over $9,000, but we still need at least $2,000 more. If you haven't already donated, please see below and contribute as little or as much as you can to this important citizen fight for adequate protection of our water resources and our democratic process. Sincerely, Melissa (Rooney)

Jordan Rules Pass the
Senate – Please help us with 2 new opportunities to protect our waters!      
 
 
Help
us fund the Durham Jordan Lake Boundary Survey!
 
 
Help
us Protect the Headwater Springs of the Haw River! 
 
 
 
The NC Senate approved House Bill 239
for Jordan Lake protection on Wednesday, June 15!
 
 
This legislation to clean up pollution from existing
stormwater is precedent setting in NC, despite compromises that allow local
governments more time for work to begin. The rule now goes back to the House
for a final vote to reconcile language differences before being signed into
law. Unfortunately, we are not at the end yet, as DOT has made it clear they
want to see their obligations lessened for reducing stormwater pollution from
already built roads, and may try to put that language in another bill before
session ends. The homebuilders lobby may try to do the same for the "new
development" stormwater rule. We'll be watching....

Contributions sought to
help pay for our Durham Jordan Lake Boundary Survey 
 
We need your help to get to the finish line! 
Please make
a donation to help pay for our new survey of where the boundary line for
Jordan Lake is on New Hope Creek.   Our new survey of the Jordan Lake boundary cost much more than
originally estimated because the point we were seeking is much further up New
Hope Creek. This new survey supports greater protection for lands in Durham
near Jordan Lake. Concerned citizens from Durham and nearby areas donated money
to pay for the original estimated cost of the survey. We now need to raise
money to pay for the rest.
