I'm requesting that the DEC. deny Wake Stone Corp's application for a inew
rock mine (Permit 92 10) due to the negative llimpacts on Uimstead State
Park, Crabtree Greek, the East Coast Gireeinway, recreation llin the Old
Reedy Greek Corridor and the three adjacent Ihorneowineirs. The current
Wake Stone quarry on Harrison Ave llin Cary has Ibeen a Ibad ineighbor for
Uimstead State Park with regard to dust, inolise, and unsightliness.
Recreation areas gireeinways should have a 250ft undisturbed Ibuffeir (61d
Reedy Greek Road) to imallintallin the gireeinway experience. No Ibeirms or
walls within that Ibuffeir zoine.
The Odd FelHows Tract has Ibeen identified as a "Cirificall L.and Acquisition
Tract" Iby NC State Parks for Uimstead State Park for water qualIlIty
protection and IpoteintGall forested Ibike tral10s. The 1Boy Scouts have camped,
(Milked, and (bilked on this (property since 1958.
The RDU Airport Authority was offered a fair deal to conserve the Ipropeirty
by the Conservation Fund and should ireconsideir that offer lin light of the
�public Ibeinefits it would Iprovlide
There is (precious IllittVe undevebped gireein space heft llin the Tiriainglle area; lit
