As a second generation Raleigh native, I'm requesting for DEQ to please deny mining permit 92-10 under subsection 74-51d subsection 5, That the operation will have a significantly adverse effect on the purposes of a publicly owned park, forest or recreation area. Our suburban area is one of the fastest growing areas in the entire United States with an average of 67 people per day moving here. Why would we want to effectively destroy a beautiful, historic state park bordering our capital city - the only city in the nation built to be a state capital. I know that NC DEQ has sent a letter stating "industrial mining is generally not conducive to the support and promotion of or compatible with the very elements that led William B. Umstead State Park to being listed on the National Register of Historic Places: land restoration through landscape design and outdoor recreation. Please take this letter seriously as it should be the NC staff members of the state park who should be the experts deciding on what is and isn't compatible with the park. The NC DEQ had denied the quarry initially in 1980. Lastly, Wake Stone Corporation has been a poor environmentally -conscious corporate citizen to Wake County as noted in the misleading and changed wording in its government contracts. PLEASE DENY THE RDU - UMSTEAD PARK QUARRY, PERMIT 92-10. This is your legacy, please help keep our Raleigh a wonderful place.
