External Mining Permit 92-10 Give us an end to the quarry trucks at Umstead State Park (3)

Johnson, Robert E
Michaell Regain, Secretary DEQ,
Thank you for the opportuinllty to spealk Mr Saints.
There are it ainy areas wheire Needed fMi16ling CAN Ibe doine without destroying a Pirisfiine
inatui4l Forest adjacent to a tlhrrlviing state Ipairk in ain area with exceMent scho6ls and
wMillrdsl3m
Many Ipreseinteirs have aIliready asked DECK to Veiny the Ipeirmit for cause ....which the
presenters expl141ined liin detal!ll
The (proposed deal) to (lease their Ipropeirty for it iinlling
DOES NOT it alke it oinetairy sense for the airport authority
they cain get considerably it oire it oiney liin a SAL..E to a Conservatory rather thain aHowing the
�propeirty to Ibe (leased and imined.
Who Ibeinefits from it i16ling the site?
Why did The allrpoirt authority Rush liinto a (lease deal) with walke stoine with oinlly 2 days notice
to the pubfic?
why would The cities of RaIleiglh & Duirhaim .. and the counties of Welke and Duirhaim w6lcome
a inew amine wNich MH llimpallir the regions appeal) and discourage growing the inew tax (base Iby
reducing the oppoirtui6ifies of enticing Ilairge successfUl compainies liinto Ibulil61ng inew sites lain
our region?

Why have imany of our state and IlocaIl Ipofificians Ibeein quiet about this issue which wiIlV
reshape the region for the inext 50 years and beyond?
These issues are inot wellkl studied or Ipllainined.
Tirylling to rush this through during a Ipandeir ic spealks to walke stones strategies and tactics.
When did it iinlling inew adjacent sites (become Ipairt of the walke stone Iloing term Strategy?
Who at walke stone thought of the Ilegall TACTIC of imalking "adimiinlistrative chainges to correct
typos" llin 2018 to the agreement which Welke Stone it llin 1981 with DEQ llin order to Ibe
aIlklowed to amine the current Ipropeirty ?
These armor "administrative Typo chainges" iruslhed through llin 2018 were done to
1l NVAlI..] DATE THE SUNSET CLAUSE
If it was accideintall , Welke Stone shoUld Ibe happy to work to have the it istalke fixed and the
Sunset cVa use restored and honored.
The sad fact that Welke Stone has Ibeein using strategies and tactics to V101-ATE THEIR
AGREEMENTS spealks to the fact that they are oimly it otivated Iby (profits and their word and
good deeds llin certain Ilocalles MEAN NOTHING. THEY CANNOT 113E TRUSTED.
THE SUNSET CLAUSE SHOULD 113E REINSTATED
THEY SHOULD FACE FINES AND 1...EGAII... JUDGEMENTS for their dishonest rnainlIpUlatioin.
They aIlso cVallirn they have had 0 accidents, discharges of IpairticUlates llin the air and iruinoff
waters, yet considerable data has Ibeein c6lklected and wellkl documented that show the cVallrn is
fallse.
AVIl of these issues and questions shoUld generate a sense of PAUSE AND CAUTION , inot a
qullclk approval) to a Iprovein dishonest entity.
Just Ibeca use this is a GREAT DEAL for walke stone and their
Connections llin government doesn't imean it is an acceptable trade off for our ireglion.

L.et's inot rush llinto sometINling that can ineveir Ibe undone.
P61hificiains ..... spealk up inow!
your siIleince it alkes you compficit.
WiM our s1hidinlking Iprlistine inatui4l areas and Nilking and cyching oppoirtuinllfies DISTINGUISH
the RDU area, and attract Ibig Ibusinesses to j6lin our area Ibeca use our area offers inatui4l
�beauty which Ipeople inow CRAVE? Or, MM these areas Ibe destroyed and RDU Ibe 61clkinairned
THE PIT ? lirnag�line einteir9ling the RDU allirspace and seeking airassive it w1heire trees ,
waterways , and ainllma�ls once Flourished.
Once lit is goine, lit is goine.
This lis a teiridble Beall for our region.
THIS IS YOUR L.EGACY. Do inot giraint a rubber staimp approval) llin favor of Wping out the
Odd FeMows tract, just Ibeca use some IpowerfUl Ipeople and tlhellr connections Ibeinefnt llin the
MIMIUMM
