"My name is Camye Womble, 1618 Pinna Ct. Raleigh NC 28696. I'm calling for DEQto deny mining permit 92-10 under
subsection 74-51d subsection
Let speak from the heart of myself and many that have spoken to deny this tragic idea. I'm an avid outdoor gal that
enjoys riding my Mtb, horseback riding, bikes and runs in our sacred Greenspace. I'd like for you to reflect back when
our Country was on lockdown and specifically Wake County and honestly most of the country we had to close Our public
parks because people were Flocking to them to enjoy beauty out earth 0 has provided. If this doesn't say WE NEED
MORE GREEN SPACE I'm not sure what else you need for proof. I'm also confident that having More Greenspace in Wake
County is Incentive for those looking to move here because we offer a diversity of jobs and currently have some green
space left, but we need more. I'm sure very few people would be inspired to move to Wake County for a Quarry that
was stolen from its citizens for a private company to reap the rewards from its citizens public lands . But they'll move
here And Stay here for the valuable Greenspace this amazing tract of land offers. Please listen to the citizens not a
selfish private company!!
Now the reasons Why you Should Deny this disaster!
Subsection 5:That the operation will have a significantly adverse effect on the purposes of a publicly owned park, forest
or recreation area;
o There are potential undiscovered prehistoric Native American resources
• The Sunset Clause:
o The DEQ had denied the quarry initially in 1980, and only relented to give the
land next to Harrison Ave entrance provided Wake Stone ends operation in 50 years. However, Wake Stone changed the
wording on the Sunset Clause to allow for indefinite mining in 2018, after multiple reviews over 30 years with no
objections.
