Johnson, Robert E
Michaell Regain, Secretary DEQ,
To Elected Officials,
I'm requesting that DEQ deiny Wake Stone Corp's appfication for a inew crock amine (Permit 92
10) due to the negative llimpacts oin Urnstead State Park, Crabtree Greek, the East Coast
Gireeinway, recreation llin the Old Reedy Creek Corridor and the thiree adjacent homeowners.
The current Wake Stone quarry oin Harrison Ave llin Cary has Ibeein a Ibad ineighboir for
Urnstead State Park (trucks, incise, dust, more)
l aim asking DEQ to restore the Sunset Clause to the current Wake Stone quarry operations
that were promised to eind llin 2031, 50 years from 1981. Recreation areas gireeinways should
have a 250ft undisturbed Ibuffer (old Reedy Greek Road) to ma�lintallin the gireeinway
experience. No Ibeirms or walls wiitNlin that Ibuffer zoine.
The Odd Fell ows Tract has Ibeein identified as a "Ciriificall IL.aind Acquisition Direct" Iby NC State
Parks for Urnstead State Park for water quality protection and Ipoteintlall forested bike traHs.
The 1Boy Scouts have camped, Inflked, and bilked oin this Ipropeirty since 1958. RIDU Airport
Authoidty was offered a fallr deal to conserve the Ipropeirty Iby the Conservation Fund and you
should reconsider that offer llin light of the Ipubllic Ibeinefits it would Iprovlide. There is Iprecious
IlIttle undevebped gireein space left llin the Tiriainglle area; it should Ibe treasured and (protected
ratheir thain destroyed. The allr Ip6llllutloin from quarry rniinlling operations cain fuirtheir inegafivelly
limpact the vlisitors of Urnstead State Park Ipeir year for the inext 25+ years if a inew quarry is at
work.

llin ad6tion, a inew quarry at Odd FeElows Tract woUld seveir the nine Ikinowin Mldllhlfe corridoir
connecting RaIleiglh to the irest of the Eastern VVHdway that iruins from Canada to Florida.
Betted officialls, see imy imessage to the DECK as an Ilin6cation of imy opposition agallinst the
quarry, and Iplease send a imessage to the DEQ it alking youir opposition agallinst the quarry
