II am wirliting to request that DEC. deiny Welke Stone rninling Ipeirmit 92 10.
Il lims that tlhlis Ilaind will Ibe returned liin 30 years wind converted liinto a Ipairk are absuird as all
that will Ibe (left is a (pit, (having stripped all the Ipllaint and wildlife from the area. A giravell tralill
around ain open (pit is ino substitute for the ii area that exists tlheire today.
We Ihave ain opportunlity to extend a tremendous Ipairk area liin the form of Umstead and
Crabtree. Canoe tlhlis Ilaind is turned liinto a quarry, that oppoirtunlity will be goine forever. L.et
Welke Stone quarry somewhere ellse, Umstead+ ralbtree can't be so easily irellooated.
Not onlly will we hose tlhlis opportunlity, but (putting ain liindustri4l quarry lain tlhlis (location will Ihave
a Ihugelly negative impact oin the suirroundling ii reoreatioii areas.
Thainik you for your coin sideiration lain the irejection of tlhlis application.
To the elected offiic4ls, (please see my message to the DEC. as ain llin6cation of my opposition
agaliinst the quarry, and (please send a message to the DECK making your opposition agaliinst
the quarry (known, as well.
