Subject: [External] Deny Mining Permit 92-10
My name is Patrick Trombetta, 729 Grace Hodge Drive, Caty, NC 27519. I'm calling for DEQto deny mining permit 92-10
under subsection 74-51d subsection Subsection 5: That the operation will have a significantly adverse effect on the
purposes of a publicly owned park, forest or recreation area.
Contiguous natural areas that support wildlife are an incredibly precious resource that can not be replenished, once
destroyed. The value to the citizenry of this area, and of the state of North Carolina, of Umstead Park is incalculable. The
destruction of this habitat is an irreversible act that harms present and future generations of the citizenry of our state,
and benefits a small group of citizens.
I request that the permit be denied because of the damage to Umstead Park and the animal habitats of endangered
species such as bald eagles.
