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

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.

This provides a rare chance, possibly the only chance, for public comment
about the Westpoint project!

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.

https://www.blackmeadowridge.org/clean-water-permit-application

We have detailed our concerns about these areas and more:

   - negative impacts on water quality, including drinking water.
   - public safety concerns about direct human contact with runoff from the
   development
   - negative impacts on threatened and endangered species and their habitat

Thank you again for your support of Black Meadow Ridge, the West Point at
the Eno park, and the Eno River!

Sincerely,

The team at Save Black Meadow Ridge.
