Dear Mr. Denton,
I hope this email finds you well. I am writing to you as a concerned resident of Harnett
County residing on Fletcher Tutor Rd, which leads into the area affected by the proposed
modification of an existing surface mining permit. Attached to this email, you will find a
petition signed by members of our community, including Harnett County residents, who
reside within a quarter-mile of the proposed quarry operation.

While I understand that the quarry itself falls within Wake County, it is essential to
recognize that the potential impacts of this modification extend beyond county lines. The
residents in Harnett County are directly adjacent to this proposed operation, and any
changes to it could significantly affect our community's well-being and environment.
The attached petition represents the collective concerns of our community that was sent to
the Army Corps of Engineers who was the first and only notification we have had to the
residents of Harnett County. We kindly request that you consider the following issues and
factors when evaluating the proposed quarry modification:
1. Environmental Impact: We are deeply concerned about the potential
environmental consequences of the quarry modification, including impacts on
water quality, air quality, noise levels, and the overall ecosystem.
2. Health and Safety: The safety and health of our residents are of utmost
importance. Increased truck traffic, blasting, and other quarry-related activities
could pose risks to our community members.
3. Quality of Life: The proposed modification could potentially disrupt our daily lives
and quality of life, including property values and the peaceful enjoyment of our
homes.
4. Water Supply: We rely on well water in this area, and any changes to the local
water table could jeopardize our access to clean and safe drinking water.
5. Long-Term Implications: It is crucial to consider the long-term effects of this
modification on our community, as well as the potential cumulative impacts when
combined with other nearby developments.
We kindly request that you thoroughly evaluate the concerns outlined in the attached
petition and take them into account during the decision-making process regarding the
modification of the surface mining permit. Our community's well-being and the
preservation of our environment are at stake, and we believe that it is vital for all relevant
stakeholders to work together to make informed decisions that prioritize the interests of
residents.
Thank you for your attention to this matter, and we look forward to a transparent and
collaborative process in addressing our concerns.
Sincerely,
David Sears

Dear Mr. Lyle Phillips, 8/21/2023
I am writing to you today on behalf of the Fletcher Tutor Road community to express our deep
concerns regarding the proposed expansion of the Fuquay Quarry by Martin Marietta. Our
community is extremely worried about the potential impact that this expansion could have on our
daily lives and our environment.
One of our biggest concerns is the impact on traffic. With the increased activity associated with
the quarry expansion, we are worried that there will be a significant increase in the volume of
heavy truck traffic on Fletcher Tutor Road. This increase in traffic poses a significant safety risk
to the community. Many of the residents on Fletcher Tutor are families with young children, and
the road is routinely used by pedestrians, cyclists, and school buses. The addition of heavy truck
traffic could result in dangerous situations for all involved.
Our community is also concerned about the environmental impacts of the quarry expansion. The
heavy machinery and dust generated by the quarry can negatively impact the air quality, and
there is the potential for hazardous chemicals to enter the water supply. Additionally, the
expansion could disrupt the habitat of local plant and wildlife species.
Property damage and the potential impact on property values are also a significant concern.
Vibrations and blasting associated with the quarry can cause damage to nearby homes and
structures. The potential for property damage and devaluation of our properties is alarming for
our community.
Lastly, we strongly oppose any attempt to use Fletcher Tutor Road as an entry or exit to the
quarry facility. The road is already in poor condition, and the increased traffic associated with
the quarry would cause further damage and make traveling on the road even more dangerous.
The residential nature of the road makes it unsuited for heavy truck traffic, and we do not want
our community to bear the burden of the quarry expansion.
We respectfully ask that you reconsider the proposed expansion of the Fuquay Quarry and
consider alternative locations or solutions to the issues you are trying to address. The effects of
such an expansion on the Fletcher Tutor Road community cannot be ignored, and our community
is united in opposing these changes.
Thank you for your time and consideration.
Sincerely,
David Sears

PETITION TO Stop Entry and Exit by Fuquay Quarry on
Fletcher Tutor Rd
Subject Matter. Regarding PUBLIC NOTICE Corps Action ID Number: SAW-2023-00252
The residents of Fletcher Tutor Rd are deeply concerned about the safety and
well-being of our community. Our street is located in a highly residential area,
filled with families, children, and beloved pets. Unfortunately, we are currently
facing a significant issue that threatens the tranquility and security of our
neighborhood - an influx of dump truck traffic.
The constant entry and exit of these heavy vehicles pose serious risks to our
community members. The noise pollution alone disrupts the peaceful
atmosphere we cherish, but it's the safety hazards that truly worry us. With kids
playing outside and pets roaming freely, it's only a matter of time before an
accident occurs due to these massive trucks maneuvering through our narrow
streets.
Moreover, this excessive truck traffic has already started to take its toll on our
property values. Potential buyers are deterred by the constant noise
disturbance and potential dangers associated with living in close proximity to
such heavy machinery. We fear that if this issue persists unchecked, property
values will continue to decline rapidly.
Furthermore, it is important to note that the existing quarry near our
neighborhood has already caused damage to several home foundations.
Adding an entry and exit point for dump trucks on our street would require
widening it significantly- a move that would undoubtedly encroach upon
private properties along its path.
We believe it is crucial for local authorities to acknowledge these concerns
before irreversible damage occurs within our community. By signing this
petition, we urge them to take immediate action in preventing dump truck
traffic from entering or exiting through our street.
Together as residents who care deeply about preserving the safety and value of
our homes, let us make ourselves heard! Sign now if you believe in
safeguarding our neighborhood from unnecessary risks posed by dump truck
traffic!
