for two reasons. The impacts that this project will have on present streams and their <br /> buffers will impact these natural systems and stop them from doing one of their primarily <br /> ecological services, nutrient uptake. This is especially important in a watershed that <br /> already has excess nutrient loads. Once these systems are degraded or destroyed the <br /> second nutrient impact occurs due to the inability of the natural system to handle excess <br /> stormwater runoff which this site will have as compared to the natural background. <br /> Due to the impacts outlined above, I strongly encourage you to reject the project as <br /> presented. <br /> Thank you for your time and consideration, <br /> Matthew Starr, Upper Neuse Riverkeeper <br />
