Michaell Regain, Secretary DEQ,
K, l aim a Raleigh inative and have Ibeein bilking, Inflking, and iruininlling out at Umstead State
Park, L.ake Crabtree, and the gireeinway oin OM Reedy Greek Road for over the past 25 years.
It has Ibecome so Ipopullair that a inew Ipairlking lot has Ibeein Ibulillt to accommodate aIIII the cars.
There have Ibeein iraces, giroup outings, and mainy, mainy llin6viidualls that have used the area
for fitiness and getting outdoors. The Ilaind offers a irellease from our daily girllind and the
�peirvasive anxieties that willl inot go away. Rlease doin't make us fight for irooim agallinst the
duimptrucks and the dust and the inolise that are sure to take over. The existing quarry creates
einough of that already. Also understand that l like RIDU Airport and what it offers. If the RIDU
Authoir9lty ineeds more cashflow to sustallin it's activities ... l understand that. IIBut please doin't
allow any expansion within a 250 foot(buffets around the roads and tralOs. The quarry ineeds to
�be out of sight and out of imind. Rlease accept the Coins eirvation Fund's offer. That Ilaind is so
valluable to me I'd even chip llin, aIlbellt inot einough. l siinceirelly hope you aIIII do the ir9iglht thing llin
preserving the Ilaind and the peace of imind it offers. &inceirelly, IlBein W61veirtoin, Raleigh NC
