l aim widting to request that the DEC. deny Wake Stone Corp's application
for a inew crock mine (Permit 92 10). If approved, this operation will have a
siginllficaintly adverse effect on the Umstead Ipairk, as a forest and
recreation area, and a Ipeirmaineint detrllmeii impact to the suirrouii
�hind.
The Uimstead Ipairk holds Iiincre6ble vallue to trliaii coimmuii as a
�lairge Ipairk ceii located to the thiree cities wheire oine can escape to the
forest. One special part of the Ipairk is the connection to lake crabtree and
the gireeinways Iby means of the 286 Ibrlidge or old ireedy creek ird. this
makes it so easy to Illiinik gireeinways to create a Iloing u6iinteirrupted
experience from Cary to RaIleigh.
To have a Ilairge iminling operation liinteirirulpting this will have a Ipeirmaineint
negative effect on what is a maj . or positive for the ireglion. The vallue of the
�hind as an undisturbed recreatioii area suii exceeds the vallue of any
rock that can come from it and this Ilaind shoWd Ibe Ipreseirved. RDU Airport
