DATE: SEPT. 22, 2023
To: Person's at Department Of Environmental Quality
State Of North Carolina
Division of Energy, Mineral and Land Resources.
To: Person or persons reviewing the following application,
pursuant to the attached letter I received. I see no case
number or other identifying records number.
My name is Roger Pooch and I own the property directly
across the highway from this activity. I would like to lodge a
grievance with the permit being issued. To date, Martin
Marrietta has been blasting close to my building site. I run a
machine shop along with a hydraulic distribution facility.
When they blast, it has shut off my automated milling
machines on occasion, the blasts are that violent. I don't hang
any form of art work on the walls, because it will crash down.
With the new permit they will be even blasting closer to my
building site, and I am afraid that it will get to the point where
the ground will shake so violently that it will make my
machines unlevel. When I put up this building in 2016-2017,
1 was assured by the people laying the concrete that 4" of

concrete would not crack. It did not, until they started
blasting.
I have spoken with Martin Marrietta's plant manager and he
said that they would inform us when they were getting ready
to blast. They did it maybe a % dozen times, and then they no
longer informed us. (We shut off the machines to keep them
from crashing)
Besides the concrete cracking, my well went dry because they
disturbed the ground water vein that I was pulling from.
The last thing I am going to mention is that I am working with
a gentleman from Canada, and we recently purchased several
hydraulic cylinder welding machines and we were going to
build another facility here at 6900 Holly Shelter Road and start
manufacturing hydraulic cylinders. Until 1 know that either
the request for an extension on the permit is denied or some
type of set back for the rock mining, I cannot go forward with
the proposed plan.
Please take this into consideration, when making a decision.
(Note: It is also a financial impediment for me, because in the
state of North Carolina, the mining company is not held at
fault.) One of only a handful of states that allows this.
Best Regards:
Roger Pooch
