What impact will 751 South have on the environment and Jordan Lake?
A. SDD has assembled nationally-known experts to assist in the development of 751 South, including highly regarded conservation planner Randall Arendt of Rhode Island and ecological designer Kathy Poole of Baltimore. We are determined that the impact on Jordan Lake and the surrounding environment will be minimal. Through low-impact stormwater management, sustainable design, and similar measures, 751 South will produce a nitrogen level of about 600 pounds a year. By way of comparison, that is 62 pounds less than a “conservation subdivision”, 134 pounds fewer than would be produced by pasture land, and 1,668 pounds fewer than typically produced by an organic vegetable farm. On our website at www.southerndurhamdevelopment.com, we have precisely quantified the impact of 751 South and invite your attention to those details.
