LAND QUALITY SECTION
I am writing this letter to express concern about a pending mining permit. Kenneth Waycaster of
Waycaster Stone Co, Inc has applied for a new surface mining permit on a lot that adjoins
property where my family's water supply comes from_ There are 3 natural springs on the lot and
these springs supply water to 12-15 families. The property line is within 100 ft of these natural
springs.
This mining group has conducted unpermitted exploration greater than 1 acre on this tract with
no regard for sediment control.
The springs have been in use for more than 50 years and a deed for right of way, dated 1964, is
recorded for the families which use the water. The deed may be found at the at McDowell
County Registry: Right to use Water Agreement recorded in Deed Book 178 at Page 605.
It is my deep concern that if granted the mining permit, Waycaster Stone Co, Inc will
negatively impact or destroy this much -needed natural resource.
Thank you,
_'J, c � hn, I(,c,, VJ UL
