Ms. Judy Wenner October 16, 2018

Raleigh, NC 27699-1612
Dear Ms. Wenner;
My wife and I are the owners of the property located at 821 and 829 Soapstone Trail in Snow
Camp, NC.
I understand that a company wanting to open an aggregate mine at the address of 1549
Quakenbush Road in Snow Camp has made application for licensing with your division of state
government.
As a homeowner in the immediate vicinity of the proposed mine, I would like to request a
public hearing regarding the proposed Alamance Aggregates Company's application.
It is my understanding that no environmental impact study has been conducted and affected
residents have had no opportunity for public input or been provided information on the scope
of the project. I have serious concerns about the environmental and safety issues this
presents to our community. These include potential groundwater and well water
contamination, dust and air quality, increased traffic and the effects on wildlife, local farmland
and livestock. A Colonial Pipeline Company pipe carrying jet fuel, gasoline, diesel fuel, fuel oil
and kerosene runs directly through the north boundary of the proposed mine creating a
potential catastrophic scenario if the pipe is compromised by the mining activities.
The project is located near several bodies of water and creeks including a 26 acre lake that
serves as a habitat for several species of fish, migratory water fowl (geese, ducks, etc.) and
permanent fowl such as hawks, osprey, blue herons and American bald eagles. In addition, the
lake has a soil dam and vibrations from blasting may affect its integrity.
Finally, one of the byproducts of mining and crushing of gravel is Crystalline Silica, a known
carcinogen (http://www.osha.gov/OshDoc/data General Facts/crystalline-factsheet pdf)
which could be introduced into the air in close proximity to adults, seniors, wildlife, lakes and
creeks. This site is also only 1.5 miles from the Sylvan Elementary school.
ESTABLISHED 1976

Because we have received no information from either the mining company or Alamance
County, we have no idea how these issues will be addressed.
We hope you understand our concerns and thank you in advance for granting a public hearing
on this very important matter.
Sincerely,
oe ompson
. Box 9863
Greensboro, NC 27429
ESTABLISHED 1976

I
A final, and most disturbing concern is the Hazardous Liquid Pipeline which
either runs through the site or close to it. Regardless, any vibration from blasting
may cause a disruption in the pipeline with kerosene, jet fuel, etc. pouring out
into the environment.
Hopefully this will not be another endeavor of a company wanting to access
Alamance County in order to mine products like asbestos or the like. Thanking
you in advance for any assistance you can give this matter.

Dear Ms.Wehner;
The purpose of this letter is to request a public hearing regarding the proposed Alamance
Aggregates Company's application to locate a gravel pit mine at 1549 Quakenbush Rd in Snow
Camp NC.To my knowledge no environmental impact study has been conducted and affected
residents have had no opportunity for public input or been provided information on the scope

about the environmental and safety issues this presents to our community.These include
potential groundwater and well water contamination, dust and air quality, increased traffic and
the effects on wildlife, local farmland and livestock.The site plan for the proposed project
shows a Hazardous Liquid Pipeline (see attached map) and a high voltage transmission line
crossing the site in close proximity to blasting. The plan also shows a FEMA Floodplain on the
actual site and another abutting the site.The project is located near several bodies of water
and creeks including a 26 acre lake that serves as a habitat for several species of fish, migratory

Perhaps most disturbing is that a Hazardous Liquid Pipeline runs either directly through the site,

I would like more information as to their plans of operation. I believe
that everyone in the Snow Camp area needs more details of their
plans for traffic, hours of operation, noise we might hear and more.
Some of the adjoining property owners have received a letter from
Alamance Aggregates stating 'This operation will have no impact on

Dear Ms. Wehner,
As a resident I am very concerned about a gravel pit mine that is proposed for the Snow
Camp area. We live in a place of blue skies, grazing cattle and horse farms. None of this
is compatible to blasting, silica contamination and possible well water pollution (wells are
the ONLY source of water in this section of Alamance and Chatham Counties).
It is my understanding that NO public hearing has been held on the proposed mine at
1549 Quakenbush Road, Snow Camp NC. I think this is the least local residents can
expect, especially since Alamance Aggregates has a very poor track record.
Please ensure that a public hearing is held.
Respectfully,

Dear Ms. Wehner;
The-purpos-e-ofthisletter im-request-a publiclfearrngTegarding-the propose -- ----
Alamance Aggregates Company's application to locate a gravel pit mine at 1549
Quakenbush Rd in Snow Camp NC. To my knowledge no environmental impact
study has been conducted and affected residents have had no opportunity for
public input or been provided information on the scope of the project. As a
person who lives in close proximity to this project I have serious concerns about
the environmental and safety issues this presents to our community. These
include potential groundwater and well water contamination, dust and air quality,
increased traffic and the effects on wildlife, local farmland and livestock. The
project is located near several bodies of water and creeks including a 26 acre lake
that serves as a habitat for several species of fish, migratory water fowl (geese,
ducks, etc.) and permanent fowl such as hawks, osprey, blue herons and
American bald eagles. In addition, the lake has a soil dam and vibrations from
blasting may affect its integrity. Finally, one of the byproducts of mining and
crushing of gravel is Crystalline Silica a known carcinogen
(http://www.osha.gov/oshDoc/data General Facts/crystalline-factsheet pdf)
which could be introduced into the air in close proximity to adults, seniors,
wildlife, lakes and creeks and this site is only 1.5 miles from an elementary school.
Because we have received no information we have no idea how these issues will
be addressed.
We hope you understand our concerns and thank you in advance for your

Re: Mining Permit for Alamance Aggregates in Snow Camp , NC
David
I am requesting a public hearing for the above named company
permit.
I would like more information as to their plans of operation. i believe
that everyone in the Snow Camp area needs more details of their
plans for traffic, hours of operation, noise we might hear and more.
Some of the adjoining property owners have received a letter from
Alamance Aggregates stating "This operation will have no impact on
your property in any way" I might feel better about what to expect if I
were better informed.
Thank you for your consideration in this matter.

Dear Ms.Wehner,
writing1 am l c-hedringregardirrg-Ad-amanee-Aggregates-company'szMUcatinn to Inrata
a gravel pit mine at 1549 Quakenbush Road in Snow Camp, NC.To my knowledge no environmental
impact study has been conducted. Affected property owners and residents have not had an opportunity
for input. In fact, knowledge of the project was discovered purely by accident.
As a person with property in close proximity to the project, I have serious concerns about the
environmental and safety issues this operation presents to our community. These include potential
aquifer and well water contamination, degradation of air quality from potential carcinogens in the dust
produced by the processes involved, and the negative effects on the habitat and lives of wildlife and
livestock in the area. One of the known byproducts of mining and crushing gravel is crystalline silica, a
known carcinogen, which will surely be introduced into the air in close proximity to humans of all ages,
wildlife, lakes and creeks. This site is 1.5 miles from an elementary school.Additionally,the project is
located near several bodies of water and creeks, including a 26 acre lake that serves as habitat for
several species of fish, migratory water fowl(geese, ducks, etc) and permanent birds such as hawks,
osprey, blue herons and American Bald Eagles. The lake has a soil dam which may be adversely affected
by vibrations from the blasting operations. Another concern is the noise level from blasting and
potentially 24-hour operations at the site.
We have received no information about this project, so have no idea how these issues will be addressed.
We hope you understand our concerns. Thank you for your assistance.

The purpose of this letter is to request a public hearing regarding the proposed Alamance

conducted and affected residents have had no opportunity for public input or been

proximity to this project I have serious concerns about the environmental and safety
issues this presents to our community. These include potential groundwater and well
water contamination, dust and air quality, increased traffic and the effects on wildlife.
The project is located near several bodies of water and creeks including a 35 acre lake
that serves as a habitat for several species of fish, migratory water fowl (geese, mallard
and wood ducks, hooded merganser) and permanent fowl such as hawks, osprey, blue
herons and American bald eagles. Also, the lake has a soil dam and we are unsure how
vibrations from blasting may affect it's integrity. Finally, a Colonial gasoline pipeline
actually runs across one corner of the property purchased to construct this mine. An
accident causing a rupture of this gas line would be catastrophic.

records request pursuant to N.C. Gen. Stat. Chapter 132 for all emails you or other NCDEQ
officials have received from citizens or Alamance County officials related to this mining permit
application.
I know that you are extremely busy and am sensitive that my request could be
burdensome. Nonetheless, my request is ongoing for emails that come in later as this permit is
being reviewed.
At this time I do not need or request records or notes from calls or minutes of meetings or
copies of applications or anything else, nor do I need emails that you receive from the
applicant. I believe that emails only from citizens and county officials should be sufficient.
Please call or email me if I can clarify this request.

Dear Ms.Wehner,
— ar .yvrtt+ng to regbtest a puhlir hearing regarding Alamance_Aggregates Company's application to locate
a gravel pit mine at 1549 Quakenbush Road in Snow Camp, NC. To my knowledge no environmental
impact study has been conducted. Affected property owners and residents have not had an opportunity
for input. In fact, knowledge of the project was discovered purely by accident.
As a person with property in close proximity to the project, I have serious concerns about the
environmental and safety issues this operation presents to our community. These include potential
aquifer and well water contamination, degradation of air quality from potential carcinogens in the dust
produced by the processes involved, and the negative effects on the habitat and lives of wildlife and
livestock in the area.One of the known byproducts of mining and crushing gravel is crystalline silica, a
known carcinogen,which will surely be introduced into the air in close proximity to humans of all ages,
wildlife, lakes and creeks. This site is 1.5 miles from an elementary school.Additionally,the project is
located near several bodies of water and creeks, including a 26 acre lake that serves as habitat for
several species of fish, migratory water fowl (geese,ducks, etc) and permanent birds such as hawks,

by vibrations from the blasting operations. Another concern is the noise level from blasting and
potentially 24-hour operations at the site.
We have received no information about this project,so have no idea how these issues will be addressed.
We hope you understand our concerns. Thank you for your assistance.

I recently was informed a company from Wyoming is opening a gravel mine two miles from me. I am
in Chatham County. My land backs up to Alamance This project evidently was a well kept secret. We
have a great, pretty country around us. Also, cows,horses,etc.would be afraid of the blasts and all the
other noises,trucks,etc.
Please reconsider and put this mine in a desolate place so as not to disturb the country-side here and

Dear Ms.Wehner,
The purpose of this letter is to request a public hearing regarding the proposed Alamance Aggregates
Company's application to locate a gravel pit mine at 1549 Quakenbush Road in Snow Camp, NC.
i am a resident of Snow Camp who lives within 2 miles of the proposed mine,and I am concerned that I
rasne knew}edge of the project and was offered no opportunity for providing input prior to the
Alamance County approving the permit. I am seriously concerned about the environmental and safety
issues this presents to our community, namely:
The association of this project with Chad Threatt/Boggs Paving. Both NC and SC have already taken
legal action against this company in the past for illegal and unethical practices.Allowing a mine
associated with them into our community is extremely concerning.
Potential for damage to creeks,ground water, and aquifers.Snow Camp relies solely on private
wells for our drinking water. Damage to this water source would irreparably damage our
community.
Proximity to the Colonial Pipeline.Alamance Aggregates did not notify Colonial of the proposed
mine,even though the pipeline runs through the property.This is an extremely dangerous
situation,as evidence by the explosion in Alabama in 2016.The safety of local residents must be
addressed.This is quite literally a life-or-death situation if the blasting and truck activity threatens
the integrity of the gas pipeline.
Dust and air quality contamination.This is a residential and agricultural area, not industrial.There
need to be studies done and precautions taken to protect the health of the residents. One of the
byproducts of mining is crystalline silica,which is a known carcinogen.
Increased traffic is a major concern.The roads in Snow Camp are of fair/poor quality,and we have
many bridges and culverts throughout the area. Heavy truck traffic on a daily basis will make them
virtually unusable for local residents. Additionally, studies need to be done to ensure that these
residential roads and bridges can withstand sustained heavy truck traffic.
Proximity to the local elementary school and churches. Precautions need to be taken to protect
pedestrians,school buses,and local motorists from the dangers of heavy truck traffic.
The effect on local wildlife,farmland,and livestock.The project is located on or near several bodies
of water,and part of it is within a FEMA flood plain.We have seen the effects in Eastern NC of the
damage that can be caused from run-off. Have proper studies been done and precautions taken to
protect the surrounding farms,creeks,and natural areas from mine run-off?
We are asking that the permit approvals be held until public input can be provided in a hearing with
the state.We hope you understand and appreciate our concerns, and thank you in advance for
assistance. RECEIVED

Dear Ms.Wehner
Subject, Alamance Aggregates Company's Application
This letter is being written to request a public hearing regarding Alamance Aggregates application to
locate a gravel pit mine at 1549 Quakenbush Road in Snow Camp,North Carolina. ft is my
understanding that the Planning Department of Alamance County has placed an approval on this
application.
I am appalled that a company would even attempt to put a company of this nature in a quiet residential
community where multiple families live. We moved to this community for health and safety reasons,
and I feel the environment would be negatively affected by operations of this nature. This would be a
major health hazard for people,farm land,farm animals,well water,air quality,wildlife,and especially
children. I personally have asthma. Wow will the dust and by-products affect my condition? Will the
children in this community have their health negatively affected because of the dust and carcinogens in
the air. Will they even be able to play outside?
it is my understanding that the entrance to this company wil be less than a quarter of a mile from my
home. To my knowledge,no one in this community has been given any information about this plan nor
given a chance fute this application.
We are deeply concerned and hope our concerns will be addressed. In my opinion, it is not right for a
company that is not even located in this area to come in and run rough shod over a community. And
why were they approved in the first place with no input from the people.
We appreciate your attention to this matter and will consider the problems involved. Thank you for any
assistance you can provide.

1 purchased property in Snow Camp in December of 2017. 1 have invested a lot of money in this
property.
I have CPOD,breast cancer,etc.
The dust from the blasting will reach me. I am I essa ah n two rn es
This is a historic town,pre-Revolutionary. It was a Quaker community,and there are many structures
that would suffer from the blasting.
It seems that the nearby utility companies were not notified. It also appears that the shell corporation
was started by folks from a company that were banned in SC and from Federal bidding due to fraud.
There are other allegations against this company also.There is an attorney looking into this.
The speed at which this project is moving forward does not appear right, given the environmental
concerns and the lack of notice to proper authorities.
Please commence a public hearing so that all facts may be brought to light.

Dear Ms.Wehner,
I am sending this letter to request a public hearing regarding the proposed Alamance Aggregates
Company gravel pit application at 1549 Quakenbush Road, Snow Camp, NC. As far as I know, no
environmental impact study has been conducted and as an affected property owner I have not been
provided with any information on the project,other than what our HOA has passed on.
I was shocked to hear of the proximity of the proposed mine to an underground gasoline pipeline that
parallels Quakenbush Road. This seems like a dangerous and irresponsible location for a mine that will
include blasting. I also have huge concerns over the effects of the mine on water quality(and quantity
as most of the households surrounding the mine are dependent on wells for their water) and on air
quality (based on what I've read crystalline silica can cause issues ranging from lung irritation to silicosis
and lung cancer).
I reside in Orange County but have owned property on Clark Rd in Snow Camp for 20 years that I hope to
retire to as soon as 2020. 1 wanted to express my concerns and I appreciate any assistance in moving
this discussion into a public forum.

Dear Ms.Wehner:
I am a resident of the Snow Camp Community and just learned about the Alamance Aggregate Company
lomtine in this-area. om reports the operation for this mining/gravel operation has been approved by the
Alamance County Planning Department following the rules of the Alanmance Connty�idmanorlanH"use.
No advance notices were issued about this operation and approval to residents of Snow Camp. I understand
that your Department may,in fact,have final approval based on environmental and safety concerns.
I would like to request that you and your Department please consider the environmental and safety impact
of this operation. We here in Snow Camp may be severely affected because of disturbance of our water
supply. Seems like a large and deep quarry would affect the aquifer,probably reducing the water available
in wells and/or contamination of them. This would create serious problems for Snow Camp residents.
Could this become a similar situation as Duke Energy's Coal Ash problem? Buck Steam Plant's problem in
Rowan County,Dukeville,ultimately ended with Rowan/Salisbury extending water services to that
community. There seems to be no Alamance County provided water supply near by should ground water
become unusable. (To my knowledge none is planned for this area.)
I believe a person should be able to develop their property as they see fit but not when it can seriously affect
other peoples property and way of life.
The Dukeville Community probably grew up around Duke's Buck Steam Plant and over time the problems
of ground water contamination became apparent. These people moved in and around the community after
the plant was operational and maybe should have guessed/known the risks. However,here in Snow Camp
the people are already here settled into a rural life style. Now comes along Alamance Aggregate Company
and I believe will affect our environment. What are Snow Camp residents to do when our water turns bad?
Would you consider Alamance Aggregate Company a good neighbor? Probably Alamance Aggregate
Company picked Snow Camp because the land is cheaper than more industrialized areas in Alamance
County. Perhaps they should find a place where commercial city/county water is available which protects
near by residents.
Please consider the full and long lasting impact this operation will have here in Snow Camp. We have no
defenses to remain self sufficient unless other remedies are brought into our area. (water,improved roads
and other pollution mitigation.)
Thank you for your serious consideration of these and other possible issues that will arise due to Alamance
Aggregate Company's operation so remote from any other industrial complexes. Without substantial .
county support for the environmental issues mentioned herein, please reject Alamance Aggregate
Company's Application.
Yours truly,
John B.Link

Dear Ms.Wehner:
The purpose of this letter is to request a public hearing regarding the proposed Alamance Aggregates
Cnmpanys application to locate a gravel pit mine at 1549 Quakenbush Road in Snow Camp NC. To my
knowledge, no environmental impact study has been conducted and residents have had no opportunfty-
for public input or been provided information on the scope of the project.
As a person who lives in somewhat close proximity to this project, I have serious concerns about the
environmental and safety issues this presents to our community. These include potential groundwater
and well water contamination,dust and air quality,increased traffic and the effects on wildlife, local
farmland and livestock. The project is located near several bodies of water and creeks including a 26-
acre lake that serves as a habitat for several species of fish, migratory water fowl (geese, ducks,etc.)and
American bald eagles. In addition,the lake has a soil dam and vibrations from blasting may affect its
integrity.
Finally,one of the byproducts of mining and crushing of gravel is Crystalline Silica a known carcinogen
which could be introduced into the air in close proximity to adults,seniors,wildlife, lakes and creeks and
this site is only 1.5 miles from an elementary school. Because we have received no information,we
have no idea how these issues will be addressed.
We hope you understand our concerns and thank you in advance for your assistance.

RE. Legitimacy of Alamance Aggregates?
Dear Ms.Werner,
I am a concerned resident of Snow Camp in Alamance County regarding proposed gravel mining permit
request by Alamance Aggregate, LLC. I am requesting that you look at the legitimacy of the company
Alamance Aggregates, LLC and provide our citizens with a public hearing to express our concerns and
hopefully get some answers.
I share the same concerns as I am sure others have concerning the proposed gravel mine,the safety
issues pertaining to the adjacent Colonial Hazardous Liquid pipeline and the Duke Power high voltage
transmission line; potential environmental impact to our air and water supply; consumption impact on
our aquifer that supplies our wells; and downstream implications of the water pollutants.
Many of these questions might be answered if we had a dialog with Alamance Aggregate, LLC, but
phone calls answered by a voice mail are not returned and mail is forwarded from its PO box. The
physical address for the company provided to the NC Secretary of State is 342 Clark Road,yet there is
only a derelict shack at that location with no electricity.With no way to communicate with the company,
we cannot do any semblance of due diligence, determine this company's capabilities, its work record,
history of any fines or corrective actions filed against it or absolutely anything.
We are concerned by the lack of communication with Alamance Aggregate and its cryptic contact
information that appears to be intentionally veiling the company. In checking the records with the
Wyoming Secretary of State, I learned that the business entity was filed in February 2018 as
Alamance Aggregates, LLC with a business address of 30 N. Gould Street Suite 10628,
Sheridan,WY 82801,which coincides with a business called Wyoming Virtual Offices,offering
legal Wyoming address, phone numbers and mails services for entities who wish to form a
Wyoming company,show a Wyoming business address,collect mail (which is forwarded as
part of the services) and essentially appear to have a legitimate Wyoming business. More on
Wyoming Virtual Offices here https://www.wyomingagents.com/Virtual-office.
So they have 2 virtual offices,one in Snow Camp, NC and one in Sheridan,Wyoming. My question is who
is Alamance Aggregates and what are they hiding?Who are we opening our community up to with such
a disruptive and dangerous enterprise?

Dear Ms Wehner,
My name is Wendy Dunn, I am from a 5th now 6th generation family that has a farm
here, which has been farmed for over 200 years. To know that there have been people
to come look and acquire from out of state here in Snow Camp is very disturbing and
must be stopped! NOT A GRAVEL PIT MINE!! Farmland needs to stay farmland, farming
hay, oats, corn, soy beans cotten etc!! The creating of this requires the removal of
virtually all natural vegetation, top soil and sub soil to reach underneath. This leads to
loss of existing animal wildlife, a huge loss of biodiversity to the natural plants and
aquatic habitats will be destroyed. This will disrupt the movement of all surface and
ground water and would reduce the quanity and quality of our well water to us and
wildlife.The dust that would form in our air quality would be polluted to humans,
causing longterm health issues, and as well to the wildlife fish, bald eagles etc. The
blasting, the noise will be of an issue in our community. The physical changes to
landscape etc.The harm coming from the Crystalline S!Ica (Carcinogen)would also harm
all humans , the elderly with low immune systems, and again our creeks, lakes, etc.
Most of all the LOSS AND FRAGMENTATION OF CONTINUOUS NATURAL ENVIROMENT !
KEEP SNOW CAMP PEACEFUL AND BEAUTIFUL. We also have Sylvan Elementary School
that is up the road from the proposed area. We do not need the heavy traffic that
would pertain to this. We are in this community nice quite farming community, and will
stay this way. Our families have history and ancestory here from and for Farming!!!
Please please,this has to be addressed and listen to us here in this community, the
safety and enviromental issues is not what would be if this is here. Please listen to all of
us and and hope you hear all of our concerns,thank you for your assistance.

Dear Ms. Wehner,
The purpose of this letter is to humbly request a Public Hearing to be scheduled, regarding the
proposed Alamance Aggregates Company's application to locate a Gravel Pit Mine at 1549 Quakenbush
Road in our beloved community of Snow Camp, NC in Alamance County.
To my knowledge, no Environmental impact study has been conducted, nor any opportunity for the
affected residents to receive any public input and have not been provided any information on the scope
of the project.
As a concerned landowner of a home and property in Snow Camp, and an Alamance County taxpayer, I
am concerned because I live in close proximity to this project. My wife and I,along with many other
concerned citizens who live in Snow Camp attended the October 15 Alamance County Board meeting
at Alamance County courthouse, and at that time,the Board had no knowledge of this proposed Gravel
pit project. My family and I have serious concerns about the major environmental impact and safety
issues that this project presents to our beautiful rural community.These concerns include: potential
groundwater and well water contamination, increased traffic that will impact our small 2-lane roads
with heavy trucks, as well as, the effects on wildlife,local farmland, and livestock.The project is located
near several bodies of water and creeks, including a 26-acre lake that serves as a habitat for several
species of fish, migratory fowl(ducks and geese), and permanent fowl,such as hawks, osprey, blue
herons, and our national symbol of freedom, the American bald eagle, which is protected to avoid
becoming endangered in the future. In addition,the lake has a soil dam and the vibrations from the
blasting at the Gravel pit may affect its integrity.The Alamance Aggregate's property also connects to
the Colonial gas pipeline right-of-way. Colonial gas transports various types of fuel including Jet fuel to
the Raleigh area.
One of the byproducts of mining and the crushing of gravel is Crystalline Silica, a known cancer-causing
carcinogen (http://www.osha.aov/oshDoc/dataGeneralFacts/crystalline-factsheet.pdf) that will affect
the air quality.This Crystalline Silica poses a concern that could be introduced into the air in close
proximity to adults, children, senior citizens with compromised lung conditions, such as COPD, asthma,
or other Respiratory issues of which they are Oxygen-dependent.Children are our future and we as

RE: Public Comment on the Alamance Aggregates, LLC Pit mine permit.
Good morning,
I am concerned that the proposed gravel mine pit near the intersection of Clark Road
and Quakenbush Road in S.Alamance County will have a significant negative effect on
my property and community.
I do not want the gravel pit mine to be allowed on the property.
Specifically, I foresee environmental and community problems from the operation of the
business.
• High potential for water quality derogation. We depend on well water for our
homes and farms.
• High potential for noise and visual nuisance.
There are other businesses in our area that are very unpleasant to live nearby. I am
thinking of the several lumber mills and the junk car lot in Chatham County on Snow
Camp Road.
The solar field is unsightly,but at least it does not make any noise or have any truck
traffic.
I do not want another large area,large machine,large impact business in our quiet rural
neighborhood.
• Increase of truck traffic and accidents on our residential (rural residential)
roads.
• High potential for soil erosion on the property and all over the watershed. The
people of this community depend on a stable environment for our health and
livelihoods.
What arrangements have been made to assure that this business will not destroy the
land within its borders and affect the whole watershed outside its borders?
