Quality and Well <br /> Impacts; <br /> Air - Pollution; <br /> Air - Greenhouse <br /> Gas Emissions <br /> 36 Traffic Concerns; Given estimates for volume of traffic at the site, there is a likelihood for <br /> Water - Surface runoff to carry high levels of sediment, toxic chemicals, heavy metals, and <br /> Water Quality; other pollutants into our waterways and drinking water. Again—are the <br /> Open/Protected buffers adequate? Furthermore, should stormwater controls be located <br /> Space within the so-called Preserved Green Space, as currently indicated? <br /> Preservation <br /> 37 Noise and Light The business is under no obligation to maintain such buffers once the <br /> Pollution project has been completed. Enforcement in other areas of the state <br /> regarding sound buffer maintenance has been laxed in my experience. The <br /> sound buffers will more than likely not be maintained by the property <br /> owner and/or businesses. <br /> 38 Water - The extensive amount of impervious surface and the associated runoff, in The Eno River Association <br /> Impervious conjunction with the high volume of vehicular traffic, will surely deposit (letter) <br /> Surface and high levels of sediment, toxic chemicals, heavy metals and other pollutants <br /> Stormwater into our waterways and drinking water. Due to the extent of this <br /> Quantity; environmental impact, and the importance of these tributaries to water <br /> Traffic Concerns; quality and species of Sevenmile Creek and the Eno River, it is critical to <br /> Water - Surface protect the areas around these tributaries and associated ponds and <br /> Water Quality; wetlands, as an extension of the site's open space. <br /> Open/Protected <br /> Space We understand that stormwater controls are being proposed to help <br /> Preservation mitigate runoff issues. However, two of the stormwater controls on the plan <br /> are located within the designated "Preserved Green Space Area." Control <br /> structures of this magnitude would require significant disturbance, and by <br /> the very definition not be"preserved."These "preserved" areas should not <br /> include stormwater controls, roads, utilities, or any other disturbance.
