l aim wildfing to state my stroing objection to mi Ipeirmit application 92
10, because it's clear that continued mlinliing/guairirylling directly adjacent to
Uimstead State Park and ineighboiding town pairks & gireeinways willl Ihave a
sigilt adverse effect on air & water qualIllty for residents & wildlife that
depend upon these vitall ii recreation areas. Approvall of t1his Ipeirmit
would mufti the myriad Iplhysi Ihazairds to Ipulblic IheaIltlh and safety that
aIliready exist because of the current quarry. Why was the suinset clause on
the Ipeirmit for the current quarry inext to Uimstead iremoved22 Citizens
Ihave a ir9iglht to know.
NEW quairrylling inext to Urnstead State Park is the most destructive use of
the Ilaind it would substail degrade the current ecosystem's ii
water fiftration, wNich Ihellps to protect the downstream watershed of
Crabtree Creek. It would ailte an limpoirtaint clean air & noise Ibuffeir
for Ipairk users.
Rease deny t1his Ipeirmit. l Ihope that RDUAA can evaluate afteirinative uses
for t1his Ilaind and willl consider accepting a Ipuirchase offer from the

Park and Iprovlide ineeded funds for allirport Ipuirposes. That way citizens and
visitors who travel) to the Tiriainglle iregion Iby way of the allrport MH continue
to have a thiriving, Ihealltlhy destination to einjoy when they arrive.
