Michaell Regain, Secretary DEQ,
I'm requesting that the DEQ deiny Welke Stone Corp's application for a inew iroclk amine (Permit

Gireeinway, recreation llin the Old Reedy Creelk Corridor and the three adjacent homeowners.
The current Walke Stone quarry oin Harrison Ave llin Cary has Ibeein a Ibad ineighboir for
Uimstead State Park With regard to dust, inoise, and unsightliness. Recreation areas
gireeinways should have a 250ft undisturbed Ibuffeir (old Reedy Cireelk Road) to ima�lintallin the
gireeinway experience. No Ibeirms or walls WtNlin that Ibuffeir zoine.
The Odd Felklows Tract has Ibeein identified as a "Cidficall IL.aind Acquisition Direct" Iby NC State
Parks for Uimstead State Park for water quality protection and Ipoteintlall forested Ibilke traHs.
The 1Boy Scouts have camped, Inflked, and (bilked oin this Ipropeirty since 1958.
The RIDU Airport Authodty was offered a fakir deal to conserve the Ipropeirty Iby the
