On top of t1his Ibeliing a great resource for f6lks of the triainglle (it is oine of imy favorite spots to
walk, ir9ide, etc. with imy faimily, friends and visitors) theire are a few key ireasoins that l Ibelllieve
you s1hoUld deiny Wake Stone Corp's appfication for a inew iroclk mine (Permit 92 10) due to
the negative llimpacts oin Umstead State Park, Crabtree Greek, the East Coast Gireeinway,
recreation liin the ON Reedy Greek Corridor and the t1hiree adjacent Ihorneowineirs. l imoved

�profit over einviroinimeint are inot the Ipropeir 61rection that l Ibellieve NC s1hoUld Iprlioir9itize.
Few ad6fioinall key ireasoins for imy feedback:
Recreation areas gireeinways s1hoUld Ihave a 250ft undisturbed Ibuffeir (old Reedy Creek
Road) to imallintallin the gireeinway experience. No (berms or waIHs witNlin that Ibuffeir zoine.
RIDU Airport Authority was offered a fair deal to conserve the property Iby the Conservation
Fund and s1hoUld reconsider that offer liin Illiglht of the public Ibeinefits it would Iprovlide
There is precious little uindevelloped gireein space left liin the Tarr 4nglle area; it s1hoUld Ibe
treasured and protected iratlheir t1hain destroyed.
Concerns about air Ipollllutioin from quarry imiinlling operations cain fuirtlheir inegafivelly impact the
visitors of Uimstead State Park Ipeir year for the inext 25+ years if a inew quarry is at work.
