BARBOUR, SEC;Y <br /> NT. 4 , BOX 722 <br /> HILLSBOROUGH, NC • 27278 <br /> • <br /> NROD, Division o8 Water Resources - <br /> 512 North Salisbury Street Re : Eno River Capacity Use. <br /> • Raleigh, North Carolina 27611 Remarks, February 3, 1988 <br /> 1. ENO RIVER GROUP supports Capacity Use Designation and also requests: <br /> a. That protection of our Water Supply be expanded to include entire <br /> Neuse River Basin, with all Feeder Streams, however small, now. <br /> b. That the State move ahead at Flank Speed to protect all our North <br /> Carolina Streams and Coastal linters from further destruction by the <br /> current Tidal Wave of Exploiters. <br /> b(1) A visible and horrible example in Lower Eno-upper Neuse Valley <br /> is Treyburn Development , initiating the destruction of an area which <br /> should never even hear a Bulldozer, much lean be disembowelled by the <br /> Bulldozer' s Sword-blade. <br /> b(2) This destruction of the Ecological Balance of an indispensable and <br /> irreplaceable Delta Area of Floodplains and Wetlands adjacent our <br /> Capitol' s drinking Reservoir is intolerable and should be halted <br /> immediately by the Sovereign power of the State , by exercise of <br /> Eminent Domain, if necessary. <br /> b (3) Editorial 11-19-87 in Herald (which praises its own Puddle unstint- <br /> ingly , including Treyburn ) quotes Developer Adam Abram that a ban on <br /> Floodplain Fringe Development would cast Durham over 1,6 million <br /> a year in Tax Revenue. A nd the SUN that day listed manufacturers <br /> allowed in Water Quality Basins per newly adopted County Critical <br /> Watershed Ordinance as: Food , Tobacco (which has ruined more hearts and <br /> lungs and killed more people than all Wars in History ), Textiles, Fabric , <br /> Lumber, Furniture , Paper, Printing, Chemicals, Rubber, Leather, Machinery, <br /> Eleotical, and Transportation. What do they leave out? ONLY the FUTURE <br /> of our ENVIRONMENT and our NORTH CAROLINA PEOPLE M. <br /> c . That the State move now to end the Floodplain Insurance Act , which <br /> has been corrupted from its original purpose --to protect our Streams -- <br /> into a Device for the Taxpayers to subsidize the enrichment of the <br /> Developers and Insurance Companies while completing the destruct/ow of <br /> our Streams and Water Reservoir Sites. Let the Bereaucrets administer- <br /> ing this Fraud on America find honest work. <br /> (3 (3.) Durham Planning Dept informed us that the entire Treyburn <br /> Development is eligible for Floodplain Insurance. S o we Taxpayers awe <br /> are subsidizing the destruction of the Wetlands at Falls Reservoir <br /> and countless thousands of other irreplacable Na tural Areas across <br /> . America._. ... . . <br /> d . That''Capac ity Use" mean just that and the Citizens Of Orange be <br /> s11r bA •'.,1I .•w.,. _. . <br />
