Dear Sir or Madam,
My name is Annie Roux Ripoll and I am a senior citizen that lives close to
Weston Parkway in Cary. My husband and I have used Umstead State Park
for recreation every single day for years. In October of 2019 1 was diagnosed
with Follicular Lymphoma, an incurable but slow growing form of lymphatic
cancer. In February of 2020, my husband was diagnosed with ALK mutated
lung cancer, a cancer that primarily affects non-smokers. After my husband's
diagnosis we came to believe that we had been affected by the poor air
quality caused by the existing quarry. We asked our doctors if that could in
fact be the case, and they told us that it could, but there may be no way to
know for sure.
We understand that a quarry may be necessary. We are aware that the quarry
operator needs to make money. But, we find it incomprehensible that a quarry
would be allowed to be placed, permitted even, in a location where hundreds
of people daily exercise and force air in and out of their bodies. This is a clear
danger to the community.
Please deny the permit to the quarry operators as I understand you are
required to do.
Sincerely,
Annie Roux Ripoll
