Subject: [External] CAswell County Asphalt Plant and Quarry Permit
Dear Ms. Wehner,
It has come to my attention that Sunrock Mining is to be granted a permit to create an asphalt plant and
quarry in Caswell County, within the watershed of Lake Roxboro. I'm writing to express my wish that the
permit be denied. Roxboro Lake and it's surrounding streams form part of the watershed for water in a
number of towns and cities within a 50 mile radius. We pollute our ground water at our own folly. We cannot
get this genie back in the bottle.
Thank you for your attention,
Diane Rodelli

Subject: [External] Quarry
To Whom it Many Concern,
I am writing to express my opposition to the SunRock Quarry proposed for Prospect Hill, NC and my deep
concern about this potential development.
For many years it was a tradition for my kids and I to go pick organic strawberries at the Whitted-Bowers farm
in this area. I was always struck by the beauty and peace of the farm, and the wide, blue sky stretching as far as
I could see. What a tragedy it would be to have this peaceful rural agricultural area rocked by blasting and
shrouded in toxic dust.
All over NC, small farms are failing. When my kids were younger there were several organic pick -your -own
farms we could choose from for strawberry picking, and a large selection of pumpkin farms. One by one these
farms have been forced out of business, and now we have to travel to other areas to find the few remaining
farms. How sad it would be for the kids of the future not to be able to visit local farms and explore their vital
connection with the food they eat and the land that sustains them.

I.iave learned also that the area where the quarry is proposed includes three streams, wetlands, and drinking
water sources. If the quarry permit is approved, not only will the local farms no longer be able to grow healthy
food, but NC residents both local and downstream will have toxic contaminants and excess sediments in their
drinking water sources, as well as their air.
In addition, I know there is an oak -hickory forest adjacent to the proposed quarry area. This region, with clear
streams (certified as drinking water sources) and beautiful forests (labeled as especially significant for
biodiversity), should be preserved, not destroyed. It is home not just to humans, but to many species important
to the richness of our heritage and our future. Threatened species in this area include the Carolina Ladle
Crayfish, Smooth Coneflower, Red -Cockaded Woodpecker, Monarch Butterfly, and many more. Natural areas
where people can enjoy nature and clean air and water are essential to the health of our planet and all its
inhabitants. The fate of humans is directly related to how we care for our home. A future with healthy food,
water, air, and people depends on healthy forests and streams. This is not just for refreshing our bodies, but for
restoring our souls. People nurtured by time spent outdoors in beautiful fields and forests do not engage in the
senseless violence that is destroying our society today and terrorizing our young people.
When I was a child growing up, there was a pervading sense that we lived in a better world, better than it used
to be. There was a feeling that we had come through some hard things, battles against genocide and fights for
civil rights, and emerged as a better people with great hope for a future filled with peace, goodwill, and
opportunity. What happened? Today, as our own children are growing up, there is a pervading sense of doom.
Children are afraid to go to school because of the very real possibility they might get shot. Young adults are
faced with the terrible truth that they may not be able to pass a habitable planet on to their own children and
grandchildren. Our kids are faced with a future filled with violence, civil unrest and natural disasters due to
global warming, extinction, and hopelessness. And yet we lack the political will to do anything about it. How
can this be? What greater charge to keep have we than to leave our children a world a little better than we found
it? A future a little more promising than our own was? Partly, this lack of political will lies in the fact that no
one can solve such huge problems on their own, and people throw their hands in the air, wondering what can
they do in the face of problems that are on such a vast scale. But everyone can make choices that will impact
future generations in positive ways. Everyone can choose to pollute less, make less trash, choose healthier
products and more sustainable development. Everyone has opportunities to choose to preserve nature rather
than destroy it.
I urge you to seize the opportunity in front of you to preserve this area of natural and agricultural beauty around
Prospect Hill and to protect it and the clean water and food it provides for future generations. Do NOT allow the
SunRock Quarry proposal for Prospect Hill to proceed.
Sincerely,
Lisa McDowell

CAUTION: External email. Do not click links or open attachments unless you verify. Send all suspicious email as an

This recent letter to the editor (below) by Marc Zimmerman expresses an opinion with which I wholeheartedly agree. I
am sharing it for your review. As a concerned citizen, I strongly believe that Sunrock needs to find an alternative
mining/asphalt plant site. This proposal is not only a bad idea in its chosen site in Roxboro, but it also sets a dangerous
precedent for mining in other water use areas of NC.
"To the editor:
Recently, residents of Caswell County learned that The Sunrock Group has applied for a permit from the N.C.
Department of Environmental Quality to build a quarry on a 620-acre parcel of land on Wrenn Road in Prospect Hill.
Sunrock couldn't have found a worse place to site a quarry operation if it had tried.
The land which Sunrock proposes to dig up and remove is less than 1,000 feet from South Hyco Creek, the headwater
forming Roxboro Lake. Worse, not one, not two, but three tributaries feeding Roxboro Lake literally crisscross the quarry
property..
Why is that important? Roxboro Lake, a Class II drinking water reservoir, serves as the back-up water source for the
more than 8,000 residents of Roxboro. When the main Roxboro reservoir, City Lake, is low, due to little rainfall, Roxboro
residents drink water from Roxboro Lake. They have been drinking Roxboro Lake water since the end of the summer.
Sunrock maintains it will protect that water supply with buffers around the streams and an erosion control plan. The
problem is Sunrock has no experience mining around streams; its other operations are far from waterways. In fact, of
the more than 100 aggregate stone mines in North Carolina, only one is in a watershed like this one and it doesn't have
any streams near the property. In short, no one can know for sure how this large industrial operation will affect water
relied on by a town for its drinking water because no one here has any experience with a site like this one.
Quarries blast bedrock. Heavy machinery crushes and transports the stone. Vibrations, ground water seepage and dust
from all aspects of the operations are byproducts of running a quarry. Given a choice, you wouldn't choose to live by
one. Residents living near the Sunrock Woodsdale quarry in Person County have expressed their concerns about life in
close proximity to a quarry. Prospect Hill neighbors won't be given that choice. Person County residents in Bushy Fork
are within a half mile of the proposed quarry. Their wells may be impacted. Finally, City of Roxboro residents should be
concerned. Since this mining will be occurring right next to waterways, you may not want to live downstream from the
mining, either.
Sunrock claims it will be diligent in complying with the requirements for operating its quarry. However, recently two
helicopters were observed spraying herbicide over the quarry land. That would probably include the vegetation within
the stream buffers. Buffers don't matter if nothing is growing there. If those areas were hit, one has to question
Sunrock's commitment to stream protection.
Prospect Hill is a peaceful community with an important watershed running through it. For now, anyway. Over 200
concerned citizens in that area are working to get DEQ to deny the Sunrock permit. They could use some help, though.

Ra,;boro elected officials ought to be diligent in protecting its water supply from the unknown impacts of this proposed
gdarry.they should be engaged in the permitting process with DEQ. Many people's lives, especially among their
constituents, may be affected by this decision."

Subject: [External] Written Statement for Caswell Quarry
Attachments: Quarry.doc
Judy,
have attached a written statement/argument against the proposed quarry in Caswell county. Please feel free to
contact me if you have any questions or if the attachment does not display correctly. I know most everyone who I speak
with in the county does not want a quarry and I have encouraged people to speak up, write a statement and send it in.
Thanks in advance,
Stephen Barmann

To whom it may concern,
"Upon hearing the news of a proposed quarry being created in Caswell county, I felt compelled to do
everything within my power to stop it from happening. After the open hearing in Yanceyville on 04 NOV,
it is clear that there is large opposition against the quarry in our county and feel that having one will not
only be intrusive to our way of life here but is also a large environmental concern.
The largest appeal of Caswell county is that it is a rural community that is close to the triangle area.
There are a large number of resort residential properties in the county that many people from larger urban
areas seek out for either secondary homes or vacation rentals that are within a days drive to reach. Having
a quarry nearby will be detrimental to this by increased pollution to the waterways, increased noise
pollution, and increased traffic due to the vehicles and equipment that will need to mobilize and demobilize
from the quarry.
The amount of game lands in Caswell county also makes it unique and, again, makes it an ideal spot
for hunters from all over the state and neighboring states to travel to. This brings increased revenue to the
county and having a quarry will affect this in a negative way. The quarry will increase noise pollution and
pollution to the local waterways and environment that will negatively impact the game of this county and
disrupt local wildlife. Caswell county is one of the top counties in NC in both quantity and quality of game
land; having a quarry will be detrimental to one of the largest attractions here.
There are also several large bodies of water in Caswell county including Hyco Lake and Farmers
Lake that could negatively impact fisheries in the county. Several people are concerned about the effect of
the quarry to quality of water, the same way fracking has caused concerns about quality of water in
northern states like Pennsylvania.
Caswell county is also mostly an agricultural community and there are large concerns about the
effect of the quarry on local farms both on livestock and on the crops grown. If blasting is needed to
excavate the quarry this will obviously disturb local livestock. Quarry operations will introduce excessive
amounts of dust into the environment and increase run off into local waterways. This will effect local
citizens in both are air quality and quality of life.
Secondary effects of having a quarry in Caswell county are negative as well. The equipment that
will be needed to transport products to and from the quarry, as well as building the quarry, will increase
traffic in our county. This increased traffic will have two effects, one will be increased wear and tear on
local roadways and the other will be increased traffic. One of the many reasons I love Caswell county is
the decreased amount of traffic due to a rural way of life and the lower taxes. If there is increased wear and
tear on the roads due to the quarry, it will inevitable increase taxes because of this reason. Increased traffic
will result in decreased quality of life along with potential for increased vehicle accidents. The increased
accidents, due to the traffic, endangers local citizens of the county and also increases insurance rates for us.
A quarry here in this county will drive people away from this area. People who own secondary
houses here may decide to sell. Vacation rentals may decline, which will effect people economically.
There is a large number of people who own and operate rentals via AirBNB who rely on this income to
make ends meet. Caswell county needs to remain environmentally intact, the people here want it to stay
that way. This quarry represents everything against our way of life here. I feel that there has not been
enough due diligence of the secondary impacts on our way of life in regards to the quarry.
The citizens of Caswell county have made it clear that they want no quarry in this county. There are
no benefits to the citizens of Caswell county, as the number of jobs will be negligible, and only benefits the
government in increased revenue from taxes and the company of Carolina Sunrock LLC. Some states and
local governments have put profits in revenue over the concerns and wants of the local population. I still
hold hope that Caswell county and the state of North Carolina will listen to the will of the people that they
govern and deny the final permit for this quarry. If this quarry is built in this county it will be a permanent
black eye on the community and a scar on the environment that is a permanent reminder that profits are
held higher than the will of the people.
Sincerely,
Stephen Barmann

Greetings Mr. Dumpor,
My concerns for the subject project arise from the remarks of the geological, water safety and groundwater experts at
the November 4, 2019 DEQ hearing in Yanceyville, NC. Messrs. Clark, Wong and Pulliam submissions should be of the
utmost importance to the DEQ. They bring to light the falsehoods of the subject submission as experts, like you, who
know it is incomplete and slanted.
Furthermore, I refer you to a Piedmont Geologic Report review letter from Summit Envirosolutions, New Hope,
Minnesota, please find it attached.
Specifically, Mr. John Dustman, Envirosolutions principle, in his October 24, 2019 letter to geologist Mr. Mark Chandler,
tells us the permit submission bogus. In my enclosed copy of his letter, please find highlighted in yellow marker, wording
that should make the DEQ cringe. They are:
Schanges on -the -fly that render the test less than ideal Sshould have been replicated Sthe data sets were manipulated

Allowing the subject permit will turn Prospect Hill into a Flint, MI type water crisis, similarly one of known and
forewarned consequences. Will the DEQ allow one (1) industry into the area that can adversely affect all other
businesses and also the safety and serenity of it's people with misrepresentations and incomplete data?
We have an unalienable right to the protections we ask for and independent environmental experts agree we need.
Unlike Flint, there is no prearranged immunity for this undertaking. Where is any compelling interest in gravel and

asphalt? This is not industry we must have and will result in huge environment difficulties, for what, a dozen jobs? Who
is served here exactly? Cui bono?
The quarry and asphalt business is not suited to an area of sustainable agriculture, families and a city reservoir like
Prospect Hill. Lake Roxboro must be protected and not with chemicals in remedy of a faulty earth science experiment.
The subject project will destroy any future prospect of clean development or organic agriculture and turn Prospect Hill
and surrounding, protected areas into a slagheap.

Dear Mr. Chandler:
Summit Envirosolutions, Inc. (Summit) has completed a cursory review of the document titled,
"Hydrogeological Study Report" (Report) prepared for Carolina Sunrock LLC (Sunrock) by Piedmont
Geologic, P.C. (Piedmont) dated August 24, 2019 and the supporting documents referenced in the
Report. This letter transmits our observations and questions that you may pass along to Sunrock or
Piedmont regarding the study.
In general, it appears that Piedmont followed industry -standard approaches to the design and
implementation of their aquifer testing protocols. The installation of wells at varying distances from
the pumping wells, the well constructions, and testing methodology appear to be consistent with using
groundwater science to evaluate the potential impacts from the proposed quarry. It is unfortunate
that field conditions forced Piedmont to make changes on -the -fly that render the test less than ideal.
Specifically, the lack of ability to change flow rates for a step-drawdown test would have likely
indicated that the eventual pumping rate would create drawdown to shorten the tests and that the
drawdown would be greater than the depth of the pressure transducers used to record water levels. It
appears that they used the "backup" manual water level data in their analysis, however, Piedmont
does not indicate this in the report (the hydrographs presented in Appendix C-1 and C-2 do not show
the truncated data set presented in Appendix B). Although it does not substantially impact the analysis
of the data, it is also unfortunate that the generator needed to be shut down for refueling during the
test — a constant rate test is preferred so that the drawdown curve does not contain the six "spikes"
evident at PW-2 or two spikes at PW-1. In addition, it is odd that the magnitude of the recovery during
the pump shutdowns at PW-2 was greater than when the pump was shut down at the end of the test —
a faulty check valve (or lack of one) in the pump could cause this but it should have been replicated
upon terminating the pumping phase of the test unless they closed a valve at the end of the test. The
fact that these data spikes do not appear in the Aqtesolv plots in Appendices C-1 and C-2 indicate the
data sets were manipulated. Again, this should be explained in the report. It is also unfortunate that
the transducers were apparently moved from the wells in Area 2 to perform the testing in Area 1. The
aquifer should have recovered fully before moving the sensors, or, at a minimum, manual water levels
should have been collected to enable recovery method of analysis. You could also pose several
additional questions regarding the water level data:
What is the interpretation of why the pump shutoffs during the test were observed in the data
collected at OW2-1 and OW2-3 but not at OW2-2 during the Area 2 testing and not at OW1-1, OW1-2,
or OW1-3 during Area 1 testing?

Dear Governor Cooper,
The undersigned, a diverse coalition of family farmers, environmentalists, present and
former elected officials, faith leaders, health care workers, concerned citizens and
parents of the next generation, request that the North Carolina Department of
Environmental Quality (NCDEQ) deny the permit for the Carolina Sunrock LLC's
application for a mining permit for a crushed stone quarry in Prospect Hill.
The proposed location of the quarry defies any logic as it would destroy, defile and
disrupt the family farm lifestyle that has prevailed in this pristine area of our state for
generations. This quarry would destroy, defile and disrupt the water quality, aquatic life
and wildlife that has coexisted and supported this ecosystem for centuries. The
proposed quarry site occupies three out of four tributaries that produce an unspoiled
lake that provides a clean drinking water source for the Town of Roxboro. The proposed
quarry site will jeopardize the drinking water and water tables that supply the area wells
undermining the very genesis of this area's ecosystem and all that depend on it.
The November 4 public hearing produced a standing room only crowd of around two
hundred who filled the Caswell County Courthouse. The public hearing lasted more than
four hours and was an example of how democracy allows the many voices of the
community to unite. The community along with a diverse coalition of allies was united in
an effort to preserve the resources that support a sustainable way of life. This
democratic process allowed the voices of many to have an equal voice to the well -
funded single voice of the proposed quarry that is intent on bankrupting and
endangering the family farm lifestyle and lives of many in the community by wasting the
resources and environment that supported this community for centuries.
We strongly encourage you to continue to stand by your words that "giving one industry
special treatment of its neighbors is unfair." Your statement of "allow(ing) generations of
families to enjoy their homes and land without fear for their health and safety" applies in
this case just as it did in your 2018 veto statement of a pro industry bill. Please use the
same quoted statements as encouragement for NCDEQ to deny this particular Carolina
Sunrock mining permit as the undersigned has submitted ample evidence, as required
by N.C.G.S. 74-51 d)1-7.

Re: Carolina Sunrock LLC's mine permit application
Dear Mr. Dumpor:
Please accept these comments on Carolina Sunrock LLC's application for a mining
permit for a crushed stone mining operation located near Prospect Hill in Caswell County. As
described below, the application raises issues with respect to impacts to on -site streams and
wetlands as well as off -site high quality waters. We respectfully request that DEMLR require
Carolina Sunrock to obtain a 401 water quality certification, section 404 Clean Water Act permit,
and an individual National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System Permit before acting on the
proposed mining permit.
Three aspects of the permit application are of significant concern and relate to the factors
that warrant denial under N.C. Gen. Statute § 74-51(d)(2) and (3). First, Sunrock appears to
apply for a permit that authorizes the initial mine pit, with plans to return later to pursue permit
modifications authorizing additional phases.' In its application, Sunrock delays mining through
on -site streams and wetlands until Phase IV of the project. The company recognizes that before
seeking approval from DEMLR for its proposed permit modification it must "apply for and
obtain approval of an updated US Army Corp of Engineers Jurisdictional Determination/404
permit, and NCDEQ 401 Water Quality Certification." Z Sunrock purports to avoid that
requirement now by phasing the project.
Sunrock cannot lawfully phase the project to defer permitting obligations. Under N.C.
Gen. Stat. § 74-50(d), "permits for mining operations shall be issued for the life -of -site of the
operation." Therefore, the company's obligation to apply for and obtain a Clean Water Act
section 404 permit and section 401 water quality certification cannot -be deferred until Phase IV.
This approach is not only mandated by the Mining Act, it is necessary to maintain the integrity of
the alternatives analysis required for those permits.

Second, Sunrock proposes to seek approval of its discharge under NCG02.3 That general
permit is inapplicable here. The small streams that the company proposes to discharge into are
classified as High Quality Waters because they flow into South Hyco Creek (Lake Roxboro), a
classified HQW.4 Under NCG02, discharges into an HQW cannot exceed 50% of the 7Q 10.5
Although the information is not provided in the application, an omission that itself requires
denial, it is not possible that the 7Q 10 of the receiving waters is significant enough to
accommodate the proposed discharge. Based on the application, it appears that the facility will
need to remove at least 1.7 million gallons of groundwater each day and potentially more than
3.4 million gallons a day.6 Therefore, Sunrock will be required to obtain an individual National
Pollutant Discharge Elimination System permit.
Finally, the company will have difficulty obtaining a National Pollutant Discharge
Elimination System permit because its anticipated discharge will likely violate water quality
standards. As proposed, discharge of more than a million gallons of mine wastewater each day is
likely to significantly harm the local biological community in violation of the biological integrity
water quality standard. The standard requires Sunrock to limit its discharge such that the
receiving streams can maintain a "balanced and indigenous community of organisms having
species composition, diversity, population density and functional organization similar to that of
reference conditions." 8 What appears to be a dramatic increase in flow caused by this proposed
quarry is likely to significantly alter the biological community in South Hyco Creek and its
tributaries.
Carolina Sunrock's application for this mining permit is simply inadequate. It depends on
avoiding or delaying three critical permits that are necessary for this project to move forward and
for DEMLR to issue a "life -of -site" permit. Therefore, DEMLR must deny the permit application
until the company obtains a 401 water quality certification, a section 404 Clean Water Act
permit, and an individual National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System permit.

Dear My Dumpor,
I would like to call to your attention several issues that cause me to have concern regarding the proposed
Sunrock Quarry site on Wrenn Rd in Prospect Hill. They are as follows:
1. The Hydrogeologic Study Report in the mining permit application does not properly characterize the
aquifer nor utilize appropriate methodology for calculating the estimated impact to groundwater.
2. Water Supply H. High Quality Waters of Sugartree Creek flow through the proposed quarry site. Blasting
and quarry dewatering has the potential to negatively impact this tributary to Lake Roxboro, also classified W S-
II, HQW. Lake Roxboro serves as a backup reservoir for the City of Roxboro.
3. The groundwater testing submitted is not adequate. Analyte results attributed to possible contamination
from the laboratory blank should be retested. Testing for radionuclides should be done. Additionally, given that
waters will be discharged to WS-II bodies, the results should be compared to concentrations considered safe for
drinking, culinary and food -processing purposes that are specified in the national drinking water regulations and
in the North Carolina Rules Governing Public Water Supplies, 15A NCAC 18C.1500.
4. Fresh Surface Water Quality Standard for Class WS-II Waters (15A NCAC 02B.0214) states, "new
domestic and industrial discharges of treated wastewater shall not be allowed in the entire watershed". Sunrock
indicates that "the discharge of both storm water and process water is anticipated into waters of the
state". Some of the process water will be produced from cement mixer truck cleanout. The permit application
states that this process water will be treated to neutralize pH. Discharge of this treated waste water violates the
Fresh Surface Water Quality Standard for Class W S-II Waters.
There is no municipal water option for the residents in Prospect Hill and neighboring Hurdle Mills in Person
County. The impact of quarry dewatering must be accurately understood in order to ensure there will not be an
unduly adverse effects on potable groundwater supplies. The Hydrogeological Study Report that has been
submitted as a part of the mining permit application does not accurately estimate the effects of quarry
dewatering on groundwater.
1. The calculations assumed a saturated thickness of 270 and 273 feet. This is a misrepresentation of the
groundwater at the site. Ground water at the site occurs in a fractured bedrock setting. These types of aquifers

are not uniformly saturated. I have attached a diagram from "The Conceptual Model of Weathered Hard Rock
Aquifers and its Practical Applications". It illustrates that there is decreasing water availability with increasing
depth. Using erroneous estimates of saturated thickness leads to incorrect estimates of the radius of hydraulic
influence related to quarry dewatering.
2. The Neuman and Theis models that were utilized for calculations assume aquifers that are homogenous,
uniform thickness and infinite areal extent. This is not the characteristics of the fractured bedrock aquifer at the
proposed quarry site. A fractured bedrock aquifer is a complex heterogenous, anisotropic aquifer. Using
inappropriate modeling for calculations leads to incorrect estimates of the radius of hydraulic influence related
to quarry dewatering.
3. The Hydrogeological Study assumes that groundwater occurs within the overburden and underlying
bedrock in unconfinedconditions, yet data that was submitted, such as the rapid response to pumping at the
observation wells, indicate confinedconditions. Again, using inappropriate modeling for calculations leads to
incorrect estimates of the radius of hydraulic influence related to quarry dewatering.
Dewatering can also have negative impacts on surface waters. Sugartree Creek, which flow through the
proposed quarry property is classified as a Water Supply -II, High Quality Water. This creek, along with an
unnamed tributary locally known as "Beaver Creek", feed into Lake Roxboro, which is also classified WS-I1,
HQW and which serves as a back-up reservoir for the City of Roxboro.
The USDA "Technical Guide to Managing Groundwater Resources" includes a discussion of Fractured -Rock
Settings in the Sensitive Hydrogeological Settings section. This section includes the following points:
1. Perennially flowing springs and surface streamflows can be adversely affected by too much water pumping
and may diminish oe even cease.
2. Depletion of ground water can lower water levels in lakes, ponds, wetlands, and riparian areas.
3. Water temperatures can rise from solar heating on smaller volumes of water and depletion of cooler ground
water inflows.
4. Algae blooms are more likely in these lakes, ponds and reservoirs and when the algae die, fall to the bottom
and decompose, dissolved oxygen is consumed in the water body causing stress to or killing fish and other
aquatic species.
5. Where the depletion of ground water causes a decline in surface water or even total stream dewatering,
terrestrial species may be adversely affected similarly to aquatic species.
Additionally, it is documented in a USGS literature review publication (Langer, 2001), that engineering
activities associated with quarrying can directly change the course of surface water. According to maps
submitted as a part of the mining permit, Sugartree Creek will be a little over 100 feet way from proposed
quarry pit B. Indeed, proposed quarry pit B will mine out several small branches that feed Sugartree Creek.
"Beaver Creek" will be located between proposed quarry pit A and quarry pit B. What will be the effect of
blasting and dewatering on these tributaries to Lake Roxboro?

An elevated mercury level in the ground water sample from Pumping Well 2 (PW2) is reported as being above
surface water quality standards. This result was attributed to possible cross -contamination at the laboratory. A
repeat sample was not tested. Why not? Also. given the granitic nature of the bedrock, why wasn't testing for
radionuclides, such as radium 226, radium 228. uranium and alpha emitters, conducted?
Now is the time to ensure that the proposed quarry and associated hot asphalt plant and cement plant will not
have unduly adverse effects on potable ground water supplies, surface water quality, wildlife, fisheries and
numerous other factors impacting the environment and health and safety of Caswell and Person county
residents. For the protection of the groundwater and the families in the area who rely on their wells as the only
source of drinking and agricultural water: for the protection of WS-II. HQW waters of Sugartree Creek and
Lake Roxboro, and subsequently for the protection of the drinking water supply for the City of Roxboro; for the
protection of wildlife and fisheries that rely upon the waters of Sugartree Creek, "Beaver Creek" and the
wetland area located within the proposed quarry site, I ask that you:
1. Require complete and accurate representation of the estimate radius of hydraulic influence associated with
quarry dewatering, including the impact to groundwater supplies and the impact it will have on nearby streams,
creeks and wetlands.
2. Require complete results of groundwater testing measured against drinking water standards.
3. Deny permitting in regards to the discharge of treated wastewater into WS-II waters of the state, in
violation of Fresh Surface Water Quality Standard for Class WS-II Waters (15A NCAC 02B.0214).
Thank you for your attention to this very important matter to me and other residents of Caswell County.
Sincerely.

2.3.4 Assessing hard rock aquifer groundwater
reserves from the watershed to the regional
scale
These new concepts allow assessment of hard rock aquifer groundwater reserves from
the watershed to the regional scale on the basis of the combined use of the 3D geom-
etry of the weathering profile, and the vertical distribution of the effective poros-
ity determined, for instance, by Protonic Resonance Soundings (PRS) (Figure 2.18)
(Wyss et al., 2002, 2004; Baltassat et al., 2005). PRS allows determining the mean
effective porosity of each part of the aquifer, which is divided into three parts: sapro-
lite, upper fissured layer, and lower fissured layer. For a given lithology, several PRS
are used to determine the mean porosity for each layer, weighted by quality index of
PRS. Then, the saturated thickness of each layer, multiplied by the porosity, gives the
water content for each cell expressed in water height (Figure 2.19). The total water
reserve is given by the addition of the water height of the three layers of the aquifer.
It also allows upscaling and regionalising hydrodynamic properties (Dewandel
et at., 2012). Taking into account the recharge of such aquifers, it is possible to evalu-
ate the duration of non -point source pollutants such as diffuse nitrates.
2.3.5 Managing and protecting hard rock aquifer
groundwater resources
The delineation of groundwater protection zones for water wells has to rely on a good knowl-
edge of the geometry and hydrodynamic properties of hard rock aquifers. Methodologies for
the optimisation of piezon3etric networks have also been developed (Zaidi et al., 2007).

Dear Mr. Dumpor:
November 14, 2019
752 Tom Bowes Road
Hurdle Mills, North Carolina 27541
I write regarding the permit review for the granite quarry proposed by Carolina Sunrock in Caswell County, North
Carolina. First, I want to thank you for serving as the Hearing Officer for the Public Hearing in Yanceyville on
November 4, 2019. 1 am grateful to you for listening to my concerns about impacts on water quality and the worry
that the water draw -down from the mine will cause life -threatening harm to farm operations and wells.
This letter addresses another matter.
In my professional and academic work as an environmental planner I have researched historical and cultural
aspects of land use decisions. As a child I searched for remnants of previous human settlements in Caswell and
Person Counties where I grew up. I knew there were Native American sites of importance in the area of the
proposed quarry. These were sites I visited years ago and in recent years with my son and grandson. I thought I
remembered that there was a scientific study for the eastern end of the quarry area. However, I did not locate the
formal Archaeological Research until I searched files for the Environmental Impact Assessment done for the
construction of the Roxboro drinking water lake near the quarry site. I reference throughout An Archaeological
Survey of the City of Roxboro Reservoir, South Hyco Creek, North Carolina. That archaeological study
focused on the area within half a mile of the lake that was under consideration for construction in the 1970s, and
included the eastern portion of the proposed quarry. In the vicinity of quarry area the archaeological study
surveyed land within 1000 feet from the proposed lake; greater distances were studied near the dam site where
more disturbance was anticipated. The researchers did not study the parts of the proposed quarry site beyond the
eastern acreage. What they discovered requires further study before mining approval.
The Archaeological Survey of the City of Roxboro Reservoir, South Hyco Creek was done by the Archaeological
Research Laboratory at East Carolina University in 1975-76 and a final report issued June 1977. They identified
25 previously unrecorded sites and found artifacts at 20 other sites dating from the Paleo-Indian (10,000 B.C.),
Archaic (8,000 B.C.), Woodland Traditions (1000 B.C.), and historic occupation.
There are two sites at the eastern boundary of the quarry property: 31 Cs 18 and 31 Cs 19.31 Cs 18 was likely
occupied during the Paleo Indian period (the researchers found a rare snub-nosed scraper from this era) and was
a campsite used throughout the Archaic Tradition. They found artifacts from Palmer, Lecroy, Kirk, Morrow
Mountain, and Guilford periods, making this one of the most continuously occupied sites from all periods of pre-
history. Paleo Indian artifact finds are extremely rare. They found over 150 artifacts here. This site is located on a
high north -south ridge between 575- and 600-feet elevation above sea level.
31 Cs 19 was also a campsite that the archaeologists describe as abundant with cultural material of Kirk Phase of
Archaic Tradition. It is located on a ridge of a prominent knoll at an elevation of 570 feet above sea level. The
archaeologists only studied an area 30 by 20 meters but found Kirk stemmed projectile points, cores, blades,
scrappers, and waste flakes.
The 1977 Survey only surveyed 1000 feet from Hyco Creek in the area of the proposed quarry because the
researchers were only concerned about impacts of constructing the lake. They did not include land further west in
their survey, so except for the eastern boundary area the quarry site was not and likely has never been surveyed.
Analysis:
1. The East Carolina University team found two of the most significant sites at the eastern edge of the
proposed quarry.
2. The research team acknowledged the limited scope of their study just around Hyco Creek to determine
the impact of the 1970s proposal for the drinking water lake.

It
3. They also were limited by what local people told them and where local people provided access, the
distance from ECU, and lack of assistance from UNC (They state that a request for UNC data was
unanswered.).
4. Even with the limits of a focused study and other factors they found five sites of archaeological
importance at the quarry site or within a mile of the quarry site, and all of the discovered archaeological
sites were within two and a half miles of the proposed quarry. Each produced many artifacts after rains
and along road beds, few artifacts during dry weather, and the researchers did not pursue areas where
there was poison ivy (I don't blame them). The study was not extensive, but indicated that the area of the
quarry is prime archaeological territory.
5. Most of the previously unrecorded sites of archaeological importance were found at elevations between
550 and 650 feet above mean sea level. Local people have identified multiple additional unrecorded
Native American sites in the area of the proposed quarry since the ECU survey was done. Native
American travel and their sites of occupation were likely along the ridge and land of the proposed quarry,
stretching from Roxboro Lake and Hyco River to what is now Ridgeville Road, including the entirety of the
quarry site.
Conclusion:
1. The quarry is a location of prime territory for Native American habitation.
2. The site is likely important in understanding Native American prehistory in this area and in respecting the
cultures that occupied the Hyco Region.
3. Much better research methods are available today.
4. The location of 31 Cs 18 and 31 Cs 19 should trigger more serious on -site archaeological research before
the approval or denial of the quarry permit.
5. Additionally, the abundance of important sites (25 previously unrecorded) and the critically important sites
at the proposed quarry suggests that sites of archaeological importance likely extend up -slope to
Ridgeville Road, including the entire quarry site. This necessitates a formal survey of the area for sites of
archaeological significance. This matter should be referred to the Department of Natural and Cultural
Resources and other State and Federal Agencies for a more thorough archaeological research study than
has been done to date.
Thank you for your attention to this previously neglected factor.
Sincerely,
Randolph Hester

Dear Samir Dumpor and NC DEQ officials:
As an extremely concerned North Carolina citizen, I urge you to deny the permit that the Stmrock Group is
seeking to build a quarry on a 620-acre parcel of land on Wrenn Road in Prospect Hill. I feel this proposed
quarry is a clear danger to public health. The land which Sunrock proposes to dig up and remove is less than
1,000 feet from South Hyco Creek, the headwater forming Roxboro Lake. Worse, not one, not two, but three
tributaries feeding Roxboro Lake literally crisscross the quany property. so there is a clear danger to drinking
water quality. In addition, the noise pollution from the blasting and the trucks servicing the quam will most
certainly detract from the ability of the students in the nearby elementary school to team and develop into
healthy and productive adults.

Dear Mr. Dumpor,
Thank you for your valuable time and for trying to help keep our waters safe. Our communities and our
grandchildren are counting on all of you at DEQ.
I am writing about the proposed quarry in Caswell County on Wrenn Road.
Please, hear our request to protect our waters, our families, our health, our ecosystems, and our livelihoods.
My wife and I are young farmers, living 5 miles from the proposed quarry site off highway 49. All around us are
small farmers. Some new, many generational.
All of this relies on irrigation - not just water, but uncontaminated, clean water. To grow plants, we need a
healthy aquifer. To sell produce, our wells have to test clean. Otherwise we can't sell.
Blasts like the ones Sunrock would be conducting can crack well casings. It happened to my neighbor, an
experienced farmer who had the misfortune of living near a quarry like this. Not only does this damage the
wells, but opens them to bacterial contamination. If a farmer's water quality test fails, what do they do?
I know that the dizzying amount of water that Sunrock will use for the quarry can drain our aquifer. Many of us
have had to dig deeper wells already in 2010. The aquifer is already threatened. The creeks on our land that
our neighbor remembers as flowing ten years ago are not now. The wells some of us are digging are 400 feet
down.
What small farmer can afford to dig a deeper well? Or worse, get water some other way if all our water
supplies are contaminated? Most of us can't. We just have to lose it all, as this quarry profits.
Like many, we moved here because of the good soils and clean water. It would be a terrible crime to let one
great mistake undo it all for generations to come.
Our farming future is part of my concern - but the place where it really hurts me the most is thinking about the
land and the people, and the lasting impact. I know how bad it is because I've seen it.
I was born a few miles from Scranton, PA - famous for the water that can be lit on fire. The carcinogens in the
water can no longer be removed. I am sure the polluting company wrote assurances beforehand about how
they would comply with all regulations. I am also sure that worrying about it didn't keep them awake at night. It
wasn't their families or their great great grandchildren that would have to sit with the consequences of
negligent industry for a thousand years.
This is to say nothing of how the plants and animals are affected. All life suffers when the water gets poisoned
and choked by sediment. Digging a polluting quarry right on top of three healthy creeks and a lake and

pumping billions of gallons over the quarry's limited lifetime of acidified and contaminated groundwater into
them is a sure way to do that.
Heavy metals will be leached out of the rock into our water supply as they pump millions of gallons per day into
creeks and a lake that is in no way prepared for this. The heavy metals bioaccumulate and persist in
ecosystems for generations. The harm compounds on itself.
Erosion and sediment will damage the precious riparian habitats that terrestrial, avian and aquatic life all
depend on and which are becoming all too rare.
I am not sure if DEQ can deny their permit on the grounds of air quality, but to me the air quality impact is
terrifying. I have family that died from black lung. The PM2.5 air pollutants resulting from mining dust so close
to residences and impacting homes up to a few miles away is unacceptable. It will hurt our elderly, our
children, our families, and our plants and animals. It is thoughtless. And Sunrock's promises of mitigating it will
use even more water from the aquifer and leave even more of it contaminated downstream.
This is not a company with a reputation for the kind of extreme care that would be needed to work anywhere
near these farms, generational homes, and a precious high quality water supply in the Roanoke River Basin.
Sunrock has not taken and cannot be trusted to take adequate precautions. This is evident by the simple fact
that they chose a site 1000 feet from a nesting site for eagles and a valuable water supply and recreation lake.
It is evident by them lying and saying there are no proximal recreation areas, where there most certainly are. It
is evident by the marks they have left on communities and they ways in which they have responded to
legitimate complaints by the communities they have harmed with denial or aggression.
Something I have not heard mentioned yet but that concerns me greatly is the additional way that climate
change could further exacerbate the negative impacts this quarry would certainly cause. The last 5 years
were the hottest 5 on record globally. The complex nature of climate change means both floods and
droughts. It means incredible stresses on life trying to adapt to changing circumstances. As new farmers a few
miles from the quarry, we watched two years out of three go by where we had 1 inch of rain to last us 3
months. This could be the new normal. As the temperatures rise and scorch the land, followed by hurricane
floods bringing erosive force, every living thing is already in a struggle to adapt. Our precious Piedmont
ecosystems are under profound stress. Our aquifer is already threatened. I saw the Little River at the state
park nearby drop to almost nothing. We're seeing record climate -related natural disasters each year. It is
certain that damaging a healthy water supply and the tributaries that feed it and recklessly exhausting
and contaminating our groundwater will further destroy the resilience of ecosystems already
threatened with collapse. This is the absolute worst time on earth to do a project that gambles needlessly
with the most important resource we have - water.
Please - to me, the water is everything. We dig on -contour swales on our land to try to sink precious rainwater
into the soil rather than having it erode sediment into our creek. We enhance riparian buffers and are even
building beaver dam analogues. We use super low -irrigation practices on the land with deep mulching and
agroforestry alley cropping. All of this is because we know we can make a living while saving water. We're just
upstream from these creeks that can be destroyed by.the hole Sunrock wants to put in the ground. All of our
conservation efforts and all the downstream benefits we are trying to create by creating a healthier watershed
and creek would stop right at the giant irreversible waste of water Sunrock is trying to impose on our
community.
Please don't let all of our work be for nothing. The DEQ is our greatest hope to have peace, clean air,
clean water, healthy wildlife and ecosystems, a livelihood, and a future. What you choose will affect
my great grandchildren. Please deny this permit.
Thank you so much for your time and consideration.

Washington, NC 27889
Mr. Dumpor,
Please accept this letter from the City of Roxboro into the record of Public Comments regarding the
application of Carolina Sunrock LLC's crushed stone mining operation located near Prospect Hill. The City
of Roxboro has been vigilant in monitoring the application process for the proposed quarry. The City of
Roxboro maintains Lake Roxboro, a surficial aquifer for drinking water supply, which is located less than
1,000 feet from the proposed quarry site.
As the stewards of Lake Roxboro, it is incumbent upon us to share our thoughts. The drinking water
supply located in Lake Roxboro was created by a stream impairment that was permitted by the State
and through a significant investment on the behalf of the water customers of the City of Roxboro. The
Lake is served by the South Hyco Creek (WS-II BW) watershed and its feeder slopes and streams. The
two proposed quarry pits straddle a blue line stream that feeds the lake. The City maintains a
reasonable expectation that the State ensures appropriate steps are taken to protect the public drinking
supply.
The City understands there is some confusion about the recreational use of Lake Roxboro. The City
manages publicly permitted recreational use of the lake. Our ordinance, which was approved by the
state, allows us to sell permits to those that live on the lake and up to 100 City Taxpayers, on a first -
come basis. The lake recreation is primary limited to motorboats and fishing. At present, this is a very
peaceful and quiet lake with minimal noise pollution. Any heavy equipment or quarry operations would
change this current setting.
At the public hearing, many commenters alleged that Carolina Sunrock has had a bad track record of
being good stewards and neighbors at their other projects. This could be a legitimate concern for the
City as improper management of the quarry has the potential to create harm for the lake. Although we
have not investigated these claims ourselves, we expect the State will do a thorough evaluation of these
claims prior to any additional permitting.
Sincerely,
Brooks Lockhart
City Manager

Dear Samir, another friendly ping on my note below. As you'll remember, I'm a pro -business CEO of Klickly / concerned
North Carolinian. I am writing to ask you to oppose the permit for Sunrock and their quarry on the Caswell/Person/Orange
border.
The plan endangers the physical health and economic health of the community in numerous ways:
1. Experts have expressed serious qualms on building atop of 3 waterways that could contaminate a Class II
Drinking Reservoir
2. Farmers have voiced concern as it will damage their water supply (with mining byproducts, including
mercury), harming their crops.
3. My entire county is concerned about estimates that say the quarry's water usage could dry our wells.
4. Families are alarmed about the numerous cemeteries that will be desecrated on the proposed site.
5. Experts have issued reports the mine will have permanent harm to the area's water supply.
6. Other experts say it may harm endangered frog and bird species
7. Business leaders and homeowners are upset, because it will harm property values for miles around.
8. Even the County Commissioners are opposed to this mine.
As mentioned, Samir, you've spent a huge amount of time studying the complexities of waterflow, and
know the ramifications here. You are also familiar with the frequent ways corporations cut costs and
pay lip -service to compliance just to get a permit. In the service of their business.
I am the CEO of a fast-growing company backed by folks @ Google, Amazon, and Adobe. I "get"
business. But it is NOT OKAY to grow businesses in North Carolina at the expense of the health and
well-being of good, hard-working North Carolinians. You don't have to have proof people will die -
- the mere possibility of damaged health should prompt a definitive NO from the DEQ.
Please DENY the ill-advised Sunrock permit.
We do not want Prospect Hill being the next Hinkley, CA made famous by Erin Brockovich. Or Libby,
MT. Or Picher, OK.
Thank you for hearing my and my communities' concerns.

Hi Samir,
I'm the CEO of Klickly and am writing in hopes you'll read my thoughts (yes it's a tad long :). I write to
you as an extremely concerned North Carolinian asking you to DENY the ill-informed Sunrock
mining permit.

I'll explain. I recently learned that The Sunrock Group has applied for a permit from you (N.C.
Department of Environmental Quality) to build a 620-acre quarry Prospect Hill. Sunrock couldn't
have found a worse place to site a quarry operation if it had tried. Even the county commissioners
passed a resolution against the quarry.
As a great organization dedicated to environmental impact, DEQ should think about the implications
to the endangered wildlife in the area AND the potentially horrific public health ramifications of a
mining operation situated on top of 3 tributaries that feed a Class II Drinking Water Reservoir.
The mine will have an undeniable negative impact on public health. And Sunrock's feeble
attempts to claim they have experience working around waterways appears to be nothing but lip -
service. Looking at their other operations, they have zero track record or experience in this area
whatsoever.
Thus, the DEQ should assume that this area will suffer negative impact similar to countless other
mining sites around the nation, impact that is well -documented and none of it good By allowing the
mine to go ahead, the DEQ will be giving Sunrock a blank check to:
1. Contaminate a Class II Drinking Reservoir
2. Deplete our wells
3. Seep mercury into the soil
4. Leak asbestos and dust into the atmosphere
5. Potentially exacerbate asthma due to the asbestos, dust, and heavy transportation
6. Harm long-term health of the nearby population (with possible water -borne implications
throughout a few counties for years to come)
This is not acceptable. It is not worth the meager economic value (which won't go to the local public)
and the pitiful 15 jobs they bring. Even the county commissioners passed a resolution against
the mine.
Samir, your bio and Linkedin show you are someone who has spent a huge amount of time studying
the complexities of waterflow and impacts of unclean water (stormwater / sewage / etc) as well as
mining -like operations in general. You know the ramifications here. You are also familiar with the
frequent ways contractors and corporations cut costs and pay lip -service to compliance just to get a
permit. In the service of their business.
I am the CEO of a fast-growing, award -winning company backed by folks @ Google, Amazon, and

big fat "no" from the DEQ.
Please DENY the ill-advised Sunrock permit.
We do not want Prospect Hill being the next Hinkley, CA made famous by Erin Brockovich. Or Libby,

I'd encourage you to keep us safe and healthy. And if you're worried about the 15 jobs, I'll personally
hire 15 ppl in Prospect Hill at my company today.

3. An account from Prospect Hill Town Hall on Tuesday (below)
1. Person County Courier Times:
To the editor
Recently, residents of Caswell County learned that The Sunrock Group has applied for a permit from
the N.C. Department of Environmental Quality to build a quarry on a 620-acre parcel of land on
Wrenn Road in Prospect Hill. Sunrock couldn't have found a worse place to site a quarry operation if
it had tried.
The land which Sunrock proposes to dig up and remove is less than 1,000 feet from South Hyco
Creek, the headwater forming Roxboro Lake. Worse, not one, not two, but three tributaries feeding
Roxboro Lake literally crisscross the quarry property.
Why is that important? Roxboro Lake, a Class II drinking water reservoir, serves as the back-up
water source for the more than 8,000 residents of Roxboro. When the main Roxboro reservoir, City
Lake, is low, due to little rainfall, Roxboro residents drink water from Roxboro Lake. They have been
drinking Roxboro Lake water since the end of the summer.
Sunrock maintains it will protect that water supply with buffers around the streams and an erosion
control plan. The problem is Sunrock has no experience mining around streams; its other
operations are far from waterways. In fact, of the more than 100 aggregate stone mines in North
Carolina, only one is in a watershed like this one and it doesn't have any streams near the property.
In short, no one can know for sure how this large industrial operation will affect water relied on by a
town for its drinking water because no one here has any experience with a site like this one.
Quarries blast bedrock. Heavy machinery crushes and transports the stone. Vibrations, ground water
seepage and dust from all aspects of the operations are byproducts of running a quarry. Given a
choice, you wouldn't choose to live by one. Residents living near the Sunrock Woodsdale quarry in
Person County have expressed their concerns about life in close proximity to a quarry. Prospect Hill
neighbors won't be given that choice. Person County residents in Bushy Fork are within a half mile of
the proposed quarry. Their wells may be impacted. Finally, City of Roxboro residents should be
concerned. Since this mining will be occurring right next to waterways, you may not want to live
downstream from the mining, either.
Sunrock claims it will be diligent in complying with the requirements for operating its quarry.
However, recently two helicopters were observed spraying herbicide over the quarry land. That
would also include the vegetation within the stream buffers. Buffers don't matter if nothing is growing
there. If those areas were hit, one has to question Sunrock's commitment to stream protection.
Prospect Hill is a peaceful community with an important watershed running through it. For now,
anyway. Over 200 concerned citizens in that area are working to get DEQ to deny the Sunrock
permit. They could use some help, though. Roxboro elected officials ought to be diligent in protecting
its water supply from the unknown impacts of this proposed quarry. They should be engaged in the
permitting process with DEQ. Many people's lives, especially among their constituents, may be
affected by this decision.
Also:
Dust from mining of aggregates and asbestos and transportation will exacerbate asthma, especially
in vulnerable populations - the elderly, children and the poor.

3. An account from Prospect Hill Town Hall on Tuesday
There was a hearing last Monday at the Caswell Courthouse that was amazing —more than 200
people filled the courtroom and spilled down the stairs. Not one person was in favor.
Families who have been on their land since before the Revolution literally wept and pleaded with
the DEQ not to approve this permit.
One 98 year old man managed to get to the mic and read a 3 page statement. It was heartbreaking.
The carcinogens from the quarry and plant can literally travel 50 miles, which means Chapel Hill,
Durham, Burlington, Hillsborough, etc.
One young woman completely broke down —she had grown up near a quarry in NY and just kept
saying, "It will wreck all these people's lives." Blasting 6 days a week, 75 heavy truck trips a day
(that's about one every 6 minutes).
Many farmers who supply the Weaver St. Markets in NC and others spoke about how the toxic
waste would ruin some of the cleanest streams in the state.
A geologist and hydrologist spoke about mis-information in Sunrock's applications and tests.
Anyway, I could go on but you get the drift. This quarry and accompanying plants are a horrible
idea —three pristine streams that feed Lake Roxboro (drinking water) cross the property.
There is an elementary school a few miles away.

RE: Carolina Sunrock, LLC Mining Permit
Mr. Dumpor,
As stated in the Mining Act of 1971 denial criteria, the application for a mining permit may be
denied if the operation will have unduly adverse effects on ground water supplies or if the
operation will violate standards of surface water quality or ground water quality 11. Based on the
below evidence, we have every reason to believe this operation will be unable to operate without
undue effects and without violating water quality standards.
The proposed Sunrock crushed stone mining operation will have significant hydraulic effects that
will impact the access and quality of groundwater supplies, including increased turbidity caused
by blasting, that the surrounding community relies on as their only potable drinking water
source.
As stated in the August 2019 hydrogeological study prepared by Piedmont Geologic for
Sunrock: "Potential impacts to nearby properties from quarry dewatering could include
decreased groundwater supply/production, or even dry wells."2
The study identifies 30 private water supply wells within the half mile buffer estimated as the
extent of hydraulic influence on the aquifer from dewatering activities. The study identifies a
number of parcels that will be directly impacted by dewatering activities for the quarry at depths
of both 300 and 500 ft., and further states that the "drawdown of the aquifer from dewatering
activities would likely be greater in magnitude and aerial extent than that observed during
pumping tests," especially as the mine would require withdrawing 3 million gallons of
groundwater a day for operations over the proposed 50 year lifespan. This constant, long-term
withdrawal of groundwater, coupled with the fact that the study fails to identify all impacted
private water supply wells within the V2 mile and 1 mile buffer (as private wells only began being
licensed in NC after 2008), demonstrates that the true impact of this project on residents'
drinking water remains largely unknown.
Within the application for the permit, Sunrock further states that the operation will be outfitted
with misting/spray nozzles to control fugitive dust emissions and high pressure water hoses
which will constitute an even further withdrawal of groundwater.3
' "The Mining Act of 197 L" (N.C.G.S. 74-51 d) 1-7
2 HYDROGEOLOGICAL STUDY REPORT, Prepared by Piedmont Geologic, P.C., August 14, 2019

Sunrock also anticipates operating a Hot Mix Asphalt Plant and a Concrete Plant on the property.
All these activities will require substantial amounts of water to be pumped from the aquifer,
causing long-lasting impacts on the surrounding communities' ability to access the groundwater
they rely on for drinking, hygiene, and other daily tasks. With the anticipated lifetime of the
Sunrock mine being 50 years, operations could potentially render these wells unusable as
household drinking water sources.
In answering the application question of what impact will mine dewatering have on neighboring
wells, Sunrock directs DEQ to the aforementioned hydrogeological study, which clearly states
there will be impacts to neighboring wells, likely greater than what was concluded in the study.
Sunrock's proposed quarterly groundwater level monitoring is a completely inadequate measure
to safeguard the public's access to drinking water and the health of the community.
Further, numerous studies of similar operations at other sites have shown that blasting and quarry
operations often result in unacceptable turbidity levels in ground water, making well water
unpotable.4 However, the application for a mining permit does not make any mention of the
potential impact mining operations will have on turbidity, nor any safeguards the company plans
to take to monitor turbidity levels over the course of the mine's lifespan. Therefore, impacts to
residents' drinking water cannot fully be assessed or estimated, nor has the company expressed
any indication they will monitor impacts of blasting, such as implementing turbidity sensors in
the monitoring wells left on site following the testing performed by Piedmont Geologic, LLC.
In regards to impacts to surface water, the proposed site sits just under 1,000 feet from both
South Hyco Creek (classified as WS-II, High Quality Waters by NC DEQ's Division of Water
Resources for its sensitive features) and Roxboro Lake, which exist as the headwaters and
supplemental drinking water source for more than 8,000 community members.' Sunrock's
application states the site will hold over 190,000 gallons of fuel and used oil, as well as other
chemicals, in 14 storage tanks for the proposed 50 year lifespan of the mine. Potential leaks and
runoff into the surrounding surface waters pose very real risks to these 8,000+ residents'
drinking water, and directly impact denial criteria #3 under the Mining Act of 1971. Impacts of
storing these hazardous materials on site also relate to groundwater, as mining excavation and
activities would require the removal of the aquifer's overlying structure, creating "windows"
through the overlying silts and clays, and rendering the aquifer especially vulnerable to
contamination from onsite chemicals, fuels, and oils or contaminated floodwaters. Further,
Carolina Sunrock plans to discharge storm water and "process water" from 41 basins into
surrounding creeks that feed into Lake Roxboro, again posing serious public health threats.

On the basis of these unacceptable impacts related to groundwater and surface water alone,
Sunrock's application for this mine permit must be denied, as put forth within the Mining Act of
1971's denial criteria (N.C.G.S. 74-51 d) 1-7.

RE: Lake Roxboro, a Publicly -owned Recreation Area; and the adverse effect of the proposed Carolina
Sunrock Quarry, Caswell County
I write regarding the permit review for the granite quarry proposed by Carolina Sunrock, LLC in Caswell County,
North Carolina. The quarry site will have a "significantly adverse effect on the purposes of a publicly -owned
park, forest, or recreation area (denial criteria 5, G.S. 74-51 of The Mining Act of 1971)," namely Lake Roxboro.
The lake is a Class II lake and a municipal water source. It is also a public recreation lake with use restricted to
protect wildlife, water quality, and the peaceful enjoyment of it. It is an invaluable public resource that conveys
multiple recreation benefits to the citizens of North Carolina.
Recreational use of the Lake Roxboro is governed by the rules and regulations of the NC Wildlife Commission.
As you may know, recreational use of the lake is managed by the City of Roxboro with an ordinance that
regulates activity on the lake to enforce use, which is restrictive. As such it is unlawful for any person to "engage
in any nuisance or act which would tend to adversely effect water quality or disrupt the peaceable use and
enjoyment of the lake". For example,
• Boats may not be longer than 25 feet and boat speed cannot exceed 25 m.p.h.
• No waterskiing or jet skiing
• The only kind of fishing allowed is by pole, or rod and reel
• No fireworks are allowed
• No firearms are allowed
Adjacent property owners and guests are allowed to use the lake; additionally up to 100 permits are issued per
year to city tax payers and their immediate families. Over the course of the year hundreds and hundreds of people
use it to fish, boat, swim, hike, view wildlife, and enjoy a quiet piece of nature. At the end of this letter I include a
few photos collected from three families to illustrate. These only scratch the surface of the lake's recreational use.
I live on a 200-acre family farm which is in both Person and Caswell counties. Part of my father-in-law's farm
was condemned in order to build Lake Roxboro. Before retiring from the University of California, Berkeley,
Department of Landscape Architecture and Environmental Planning and relocating to Hurdle Mills, I taught and
practiced in the field of environmental planning, working on master plans and programs for all scales of public
recreation open space and wildlife habitat — from small, urban neighborhood parks to urban wildlands parks; large
mammal corridors and bird flyways. Seldom have I encountered a public recreation area quite like Lake Roxboro.
This lake is an essential part of the Person County public recreation mosaic. Hyco Lake and Mayo Lake are great
for motorized boat use, jet skiing and water skiing, picnicking, 41 of July parties, and other active water -based
recreation uses. In contrast Lake Roxboro is quiet and serene. It provides recreation benefits strongly correlated
with human health and land and water quality stewardship. A considerable amount of qualitative and quantitative
research has been done that links human health and regular access to nature of this kind. A brief summary can be
found in Repke et al:
"A wealth of evidence exists linking nature exposure to improved health outcomes. From reduced recovery
time following surgery to reduced Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder symptomology in children, health
improvements in patients with cancer and cardiovascular disease, and many other outcomes —the abundance

of evidence for this effect is striking. While much of the research exploring the effects of nature exposure has
focused on psychological effects, there is also considerable research linking nature exposure to improved
physiological health markers. " hays://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.pov/nmc/articles/PMC61049901
These ideas have been popularized by authors such as Richard Louv, who in his award -winning book Last Child
in the Woods presents considerable evidence that today many children in the U.S. suffer from "nature deficit
disorder". Internationally recognized biologist and writer E.O. Wilson, in his theory of "biophilia," indicates
human experience in nature evokes connectivity to all species which is foundational to stewardship and
conservation. Lake Roxboro is the quintessential place for children to avoid such disorders and for all people to
make the beneficial connections nature offers.
So one has to wonder. How could a 630-acre quarry adjacent to this lake be considered in the public interest of
the state of North Carolina? The proposed quarry will destroy the many benefits the lake conveys, health and
otherwise. If fireworks, firearms, and jet skis aren't allowed on the lake; how can a quarry, with its blasting, use
of heavy excavation equipment, substantial truck traffic, and profound water use and wastewater discharges be
allowed? I strongly urge you to deny the Sunrock permit. The anticipated adverse effects pose grave threats to
water quality and wildlife, essential to nature recreation. There is simply no way that the proposed quarry serves a
public interest that can outweigh those provided by this public recreation resource.
Thank you for your consideration
Sincerely,
Marcia McNally

I am writing you not as a fellow government employee, but as a fellow North Carolinian who is extremely concerned by
what I have learned about the potential for devastating water, air, and noise pollution resulting from granting permits to
Sunrock for a quarry and an asphalt plant. Please protect the land and water of Orange, Person, and Caswell counties,
and do right for the people of these counties of North Carolina, our home, by denying these permits.
I live in northern Orange County, on the South Fork of the Little River, and water here is from a community well. Ours is
a rural, wooded area, much like what I have seen of Person and Caswell counties, and I know that on the acre and a half
that I occupy, there is a huge variety of flora and fauna, including some rare and endangered species. I have been so
happy and proud that our area is unpolluted enough to support these fragile species, and I would be devastated to see
that change for the worse. Please help to keep improving our environment, not make it worse by allowing such a
potentially disastrous endeavor to become established in this area.

We are concerned North Carolinians who live in Hillsborough, NC and take issue with the permit before your
organization for The Sunrock Group to build a quarry on Wrenn Road in Prospect Hill. As I am sure you know,
this location is less than 1,000 feet from South Hyco Creek, the headwater forming Roxboro Lake. Three
tributaries feeding Roxboro Lake literally crisscross the quarry property. There are many folks who use
Roxboro lake as their primary source for drinking water and Sunrock's claims that they will protect the water
supply do not reassure the public as they have no experience in mining around streams. There are residents
that reside within a half mile of the proposed quarry and it is a very real fear that their wells may be impacted
by this activity.
Based on these facts, we ask that you please deny the permit to Sunrock for the quarry and associated plants.

Please DENY a permit for Sunrock to blast a quarry in Caswell County NC, at the edge of Orange County, NC.
I live in Hillsborough NC and want my water protected. The carcinogens from the quarry and plant can literally
travel 50 miles, which means Chapel Hill, Durham, Burlington, Hillsborough, etc.
I also support the many residents even closer to this proposed quarry whose very livelihood is at stake. Blasting,
75 heavy truck trips a day (that's about one every 6 minutes), the toxic waste, and carcinogens will hurt the
people who live both near and far to the proposed quarry. A geologist and hydrologist has spoken about mis-
information in Sunrock's applications and tests.
Please protect the people as your agency is committed to do!
Concerned Orange County NC resident,

November 4, 2019
Our honored Caswell Commissioners, DEQ, and Planning Board members, I want to thank you for this
opportunity to speak and share concerns. My name is Bert Lea, and I hope to plant a seed to prevent
future issues.
Looking over Sunrock's application submitted, it appears flawless. All requirements are met. It
addresses a Stormwater Permit, Air Quality Permit, E&SC Permit, and future NPDES Permit. These are
required to establish the means to govern and control the company to protect all our natural resources.
Now this General NCG02 Permit, granted by DEMLR, is just that, General. But as long as the standards
and benchmarks are met as defined in the General Permit, life is good, right? But consider, over time,
processes have problems, mechanical means fail, exceedances are likely. What then? The environment
slowly starts accumulating these failures. And over time, well, resources suffer, especially downstream
areas. For example, let's consider just one of the permits, the Stormwater Permit. The Stormwater
Permit is written to monitor stormwater runoff from the facility where it has been in contact with the
processes of operation at designated outfalls that exit the boundaries of the facility. The permit has
benchmark values to meet such as TSS, Total Suspended Solids. Benchmark values not met come with
no financial burdens to the company. For example, if, say, the TSS benchmark was exceeded during a
sampling period, then this first time occurrence, according the General Permit, would only require the
company to investigate and report back to the State as to why this occurred and how it has been
addressed to prevent in the future. This action meets the Tier I requirement of the permit, and sampling
is not required again for 6 months. Now 6 months later, a sample taken from this same outfall exceeds
the TSS again, what happens. The company is now under a Tier II action, which again is no financial
burden to the company, only more explanation to the State with proof some action has taken place to
prevent reoccurrence, and more frequent sampling, every 3 months and not 6. If a reoccurrence
happens a third time, the company falls into a Tier III level, and the State will more than likely step in
and impose more stringent steps, and sampling becomes at least monthly. My point is the slow
accumulation of detriment to the environment, again especially downstream of the process. And we all
know what is downstream, a WS II Class B High Quality Water shed; a very significant supply of drinking
water for Person County.
Thank you for allowing me this time to have a voice. My hope is your consideration to prevent future
battles, and your evaluation of how well Sunrock has honored and met their permits at other locations.
Progress is a great thing, but not at the expense of our environment.
In addition to the dangers regarding Stormwater runoff and local groundwater for farm wells and
drinking water for the City of Roxboro, both of which are in the Roanoke River Basin, and about which
several independent geologists have found critical concerns, there is another health issue. Experts
indicate that groundwater in fractured granitics behaves in idiosyncratic ways and that as the mining
operation pumps down the groundwater to facilitate rock mining, the propagation might impact water
miles away from the quarry. The Neuse River Basin waters are less than two miles from the quarry site.
Please, I urge that the risk to waters in the Neuse River Basin be carefully studied.
Sincerely,
Bert Lea

I am writing to express my deep concern about a proposed quarry to be located in Caswell County, NC. As a North
Carolina resident that lives down stream from this proposed quarry, I am extremely worried about its affects on our
environment, especially our ground water. The quarry is to be located close to our fresh water supply and even has
tributary creeks running through the land proposed for the quarry. The potential for pollution of our precious water supply
is too high to allow this quarry to be developed. Please deny the permit to Sunrock for the quarry and associated plants.

Health Risks Associated with Exposure to Airborne Pollutants Arising From Quarrying and Aggregate
Processing
Health Risks Associated with Exposure to Airborne Pollutants Arising From Quarrying and
Aggregate Processing
Prepared By: Jennifer M. Wynn BSN, RN
Situation and Objective
The quaint, historical community of Prospect Hill lies in the Southeastern corner of
Caswell County. Prospect Hill is a community that has a bright economical development future
due to the impending spill over from the neighboring counties. A local recent example is the
purchase of about 680 acres, by Sunrock LLC, for the purpose of quarrying and crushing granite
and other materials found along the roads of Ridgeville and Wrenn.
While economic growth is needed and expected in this part of the region, granite
quarrying and asphalt manufacturing are well documented sources of airborne pollution called
particulate matter (PM). The effects of this pollution pose a significant risk to the residents and
future development of Prospect Hill, and Caswell County.
The World Health Organization (WHO) and the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)
classify particulate matter as pollution because exposure is associated with a wide range of
serious negative health effects.
The objective of this article is to summarize how the exposure to PM is a health risk.
Particulate Matter (PM) and Why it Matters
PM is generally comprised microscopic particles made of mineral, such as silica and
other minerals from rock crushing, hydrocarbon, and soot from diesel exhaust of industrial
equipment and the trucks that are utilized heavily during rock crushing and quarrying. PM is
categorized by size ranges. The PM that poses many health risks is those that are small and
invisible to the naked human eye, and are referred to as PM2.5 and PM 10. The number refers to
particle size in terms of micrometers. Both PM2.5 and PM 10 travel by air. PM 10 can travel up
to 30 miles. PM 2.5 can travel many hundreds of miles.

Health Effects of Particulate Matter
Both PM10 and PM2.5 are capable of penetrating the respiratory system through
inhalation. There is a plethora of documented information regarding the health effects of inhaled
PM. Health effects occur from both short term (hours, days) and long term exposure (months,
years) to PM. Short term exposure results in coughing, sneezing, shortness of breath, chest
tightness and eye irritation. Long term exposure can result in reduced lung function, lung
diseases such as asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disorder, silicosis, and lung cancer.
Other health risks associated with long term exposure to PM are cardiovascular disease, strokes,
risk of allergies, and increased autoimmune diseases. Studies have also shown a strong
relationship between these particles and leukemia, as well as pregnancy complications including
low birth weights, intrauterine growth retardation, and cardiac birth defects. Particulate Matter
pollution is directly related to increased absences from school and work, increased visits to
emergency department, doctors' offices, and hospitalizations. Studies have documented a
noteworthy correlation between PM exposure and mortality.

Health related comparison of local areas with quarries
The Sale Stone Corporation owns a rock quarry in Blairs, Virginia. According to
the Dan River Health Equity Report, the cancer -related mortality rates in that area of Virginia
reveal that 351.40 out of 100,000 patients will die of cancer -related deaths. In the northwestern
part of Caswell County, there is another quarry run by the same company located in Pelham. The
cancer -related mortality rates in Pelham are the fourth highest in Caswell County at 298.91 out
of 100,000 patients. Both of these areas have higher than their respected state's cancer mortality -
related death levels.
Prepared by: Jennifer M. Wynn BSN, RN

Health Risks Associated with Exposure to Airborne Pollutants Arising From Quarrying and Aggregate
Processing
Currently Prospect Hill has a lower rate for cancer related mortality rate at 111.35 out of
100,000 patients. This is significantly lower than the North Carolina state cancer related
mortality rates at 164.70 out of 100,000 patients.

Caswell County is deemed a medically underserved area in North Carolina and
has been since 1978. The Health Resources and Services Administration makes this
determination based on the area having too few primary care providers, high infant mortality
rate, high poverty, or a high elderly population. The purposed site of this quarry is
approximately 1.4 miles from Piedmont Health Services center. The center relies solely on well
water and sees over 100 patients per day. Of further concern, South Elementary School is located
4.4 miles from the center of the purposed quarry. These young children, some with respiratory
and other medical problems, will be exposed to the carcinogenic quarry dust every day via the air
they breathe as the dust will certainly gather on the playground equipment and come through the
school's air ducts. Lastly, Panther Branch Creek Park has a walking trail, playground equipment,
and a creek access for wading. This park is located about 2.5 miles from the center of the quarry.

Health Risks Associated with Exposure to Airborne Pollutants Arising From Quarrying and Aggregate
Processing
This is yet another publicly owned area that will be adversely affected by a quarry. According
to the 2018 Caswell County SOTCH report the top 3 causes of death are Cancer, heart disease
and chronic lower respiratory disease. Increasing the amount of local airborne particulate matter
will drastically impact the residents of Prospect Hill and Caswell County's quality and quantity
of life and could cause mortality rates to increase. Prospect Hill is located approximately 22
miles from Duke University Medical Center, 29 miles from UNC-CH Medical Center, 19 miles
from UNC Hillsborough Hospital, and 16 miles from the county's EMS station. Currently the
county's emergency response infrastructure is not adequate to support the adverse effects the
placement of this quarry will cause the local residents and the county as a whole.

Mr. Samir Dupor
DEMLR Regional Engineer
I am writing to you about the proposed Sunrock quarry near Prospect Hill, in Caswell County.
I own a house not far from the proposed quarry. I have a well on my property that is 225 feet deep. I am worried about
the effect of this quarry on the aquafer, the water quality of South Hyco Creek, and on Roxboro Lake, which is a
secondary water source for the city of Roxboro.
As I understand the proposed quarry project, Sunrock plans to dig as deep at 550 feet into the ground, possibly deeper
to obtain water. This is likely to have a major impact on the water table. Their project will also create acid leaches from
rock, which will be carried off by rainwater or surface drainage and deposited into Hyco Creek. This will likely kill aquatic
life and make water virtually unusable. Heavy metal pollution will also occur because metals will be leached out and
carried downstream as water washes over the rock surface.
Most important, this project threatens to deplete the aquifer and contaminate the water flowing into Hyco Creek.
Roxboro Lake is classified by NC DEQ as a WS-II B freshwater surface lake.
I urge you to oppose the petition to allow Sunrock to dig this quarry.
Thank you.
Sincerely,

I recently learned that The Sunrock Group has applied for a permit from the N.C. Department of Environmental
Quality to build a quarry on a 620-acre parcel of land on Wrenn Road in Prospect Hill. Sunrock could not have
found a worse place to site a quarry operation if it had tried.
The land which Sunrock proposes to dig up and remove is less than 1,000 feet from South Hyco Creek, the
headwater forming Roxboro Lake. Worse, not one, not two, but three tributaries feeding Roxboro Lake literally
crisscross the quarry property.
Why is that important? Roxboro Lake, a Class II drinking water reservoir, serves as the back-up water source
for the more than 8,000 residents of Roxboro. When the main Roxboro reservoir, City Lake, is low, due to little
rainfall, Roxboro residents drink water from Roxboro Lake. They have been drinking Roxboro Lake water since
the end of the summer.
Sunrock maintains it will protect that water supply with buffers around the streams and an erosion control plan.
The problem is that Sunrock has no experience mining around streams; its other operations are far from
waterways. In fact, of the more than 100 aggregate stone mines in North Carolina, only one is in a watershed
like this one and it does not have any streams near the property. In short, no one can know for sure how this
large industrial operation will affect water relied on by a town for its drinking water because no one here has
any experience with a site like this one.
Quarries blast bedrock. Heavy machinery crushes and transports the stone. Vibrations, ground water seepage
and dust from all aspects of the operations are byproducts of running a quarry. Given a choice, you would not
choose to live by one. Residents living near the Sunrock Woodsdale quarry in Person County have expressed
their concerns about life in close proximity to a quarry. Prospect Hill neighbors won't be given that choice.
Person County residents in Bushy Fork are within a half mile of the proposed quarry. Their wells may be
impacted.
Sunrock claims it will be diligent in complying with the requirements for operating its quarry. However,
recently two helicopters were observed spraying herbicide over the quarry land. That may have included the
vegetation within the stream buffers. If those areas were hit, one has to question Sunrock's commitment to
stream protection.
I am a concerned citizen of Orange County, NC, with friends and loved ones who have lived for generations in
the area that will be affected. I ask that you DENY the permit request by the Sunrock Group. Thank you.

I am a concerned NC citizen, and I am asking you to deny the permit to Sunrock for the quarry & associated plants on the
edge of Orange -Person -Caswell counties. The DEQ mission is to provide: environmental stewardship for the health and

damage granting theis permit will create. Three pristine streams that feed Lake Roxboro, which is the back up drinking
water supply for Roxboro, cross the property. There is an elementary school a few miles away. Sunrock has no
experience drilling in an area that has these precious resources, and their efforts are bound to have a negative impact on
both environmental quality and public health.

Mr. Dumpor,
I just learned that Sunrock has submitted a permit request for a quarry and plants they want to develop that involves
land on the edge of 3 NC counties, Orange, Person and Caldwell - a permit that will exist in perpetuity and will involve
property that contains 3 streams that feed a lake that is the backup drinking water for Roxboro citizens. While I do not
live in Roxboro, I am very concerned about any exposure of our precious resource, clean water, to any level of
compromise no matter how remote. Therefore, I want to register a request that the permit be denied.
Our natural resources are facing negative exposure to danger from many angles which will eventually affect all of us,
whether in our current lifetime or the next one. Any actions taken today that have in perpetuity protection are not
taking into consideration negative future findings that the actions led to putting the public in danger. If our government
agencies are not putting the welfare of all of us, not only those who will be directly impacted for generations to come
but.also their children and grandchildren as well as those who can be indirectly affected, then who is? Our current
environmental and heath issues stand to be compromised at many fronts. Let's not be a part of that.
Please consider my request to deny the permit. Thank you.

Dear Mr. Dumpor,
We write to express our concern over the proposed Sunrock quarry on Wrenn Road, in Prospect
Hill. Our home and farm are located 2.3 miles from the quarry site.
We are concerned that such a quarry would negatively impact our farm's water supply. One of us
has lived near a quarry (at a similar distance) where most of the residents had cracked well
casings due to the quarry's activities. We all received a regular supply of free 5-gallon totes of
drinking water. We cannot imagine what would happen in a similar situation in this area, where
so many farms are located within a few miles of the proposed site. The Food Safety
Modernization Act standards currently being put into place for irrigation water and strict and will
be costly to meet. With a cracked well casing, we are concerned about the risk of bacterial
contamination to our water source, what the solutions for remedying it are, and who would pay
those costs.
In addition to the issue of water quality, we are also concerned about how a draw down in the
water table might impact our ability to irrigate our crops, particularly in a dry year such as the
present one.
We appreciate your consideration of this matter.
Respectfully,
5W041 ram.-

This is not the future we want for North Carolina. We should be all remain focused on environmental stewardship for the health and
prosperity of ALL North Carolinians.
Please deny the permit to Sunrock for the quarry and associated plants.

Greetings Mr. Dumpor,
My concerns for the subject project arise from the remarks of the geological, water safety and groundwater experts at
the November 4, 2019 DEQ hearing in Yanceyville, NC. Messrs. Clark, Wong and Pulliam submissions should be of the
utmost importance to the DEQ. They bring to light the falsehoods of the subject submission as experts, like you, who
know it is incomplete and slanted.
Furthermore, I refer you to a Piedmont Geologic Report review letter from Summit Envirosolutions, New Hope,
Minnesota, please find it attached.
Specifically, Mr. John Dustman, Envirosolutions principle, in his October 24, 2019 letter to geologist Mr. Mark Chandler,
tells us the permit submission bogus. In my enclosed copy of his letter, please find highlighted in yellow marker, wording
that should make the DEQ cringe. They are:
Schanges on -the -fly that render the test less than ideal Sshould have been replicated Sthe data sets were manipulated
Susing 270 feet for the saturated thickness is an obvious misrepresentation of the groundwater system

Allowing the subject permit will turn Prospect Hill into a Flint, MI type water crisis, similarly one of known and
forewarned consequences. Will the DEQ allow one (1) industry into the area that can adversely affect all other
businesses and also the safety and serenity of it's people with misrepresentations and incomplete data?
We have an unalienable right to the protections we ask for and independent environmental experts agree we need.
Unlike Flint, there is no prearranged immunity for this undertaking. Where is any compelling interest in gravel and

asphalt? This is not industry we must have and will result in huge environment difficulties, for what, a dozen jobs? Who
is served here exactly? Cui bono?
The quarry and asphalt business is not suited to an area of sustainable agriculture, families and a city reservoir like
Prospect Hill. Lake Roxboro must be protected and not with chemicals in remedy of a faulty earth science experiment.
The subject project will destroy any future prospect of clean development or organic agriculture and turn Prospect Hill
and surrounding, protected areas into a slagheap.

Dear Mr. Chandler:
Summit Envirosolutions, Inc. (Summit) has completed a cursory review of the document titled,
"Hydrogeological Study Report" (Report) prepared for Carolina Sunrock LLC (Sunrock) by Piedmont
Geologic, P.C. (Piedmont) dated August 24, 2019 and the supporting documents referenced in the
Report. This letter transmits our observations and questions that you may pass along to Sunrock or
Piedmont regarding the study.
In general, it appears that Piedmont followed industry -standard approaches to the design and
implementation of their aquifer testing protocols. The installation of wells at varying distances from
the pumping wells, the well constructions, and testing methodology appear to be consistent with using
groundwater science to evaluate the potential impacts from the proposed quarry. It is unfortunate
that field conditions forced Piedmont to make changes on -the -fly that render the test less than ideal.
Specifically, the lack of ability to change flow rates for a step-drawdown test would have likely
indicated that the eventual pumping rate would create drawdown to shorten the tests and that the
drawdown would be greater than the depth of the pressure transducers used to'record water levels. It
appears that they used the "backup" manual water level data in their analysis, however, Piedmont
does not indicate this in the report (the hydrographs presented in Appendix C-1 and C-2 do not show
the truncated data set presented in Appendix B). Although it does not substantially impact the analysis
of the data, it is also unfortunate that the generator needed to be shut down for refueling during the
test — a constant rate test is preferred so that the drawdown curve does not contain the six "spikes"
evident at PW-2 or two spikes at PW-1. In addition, it is odd that the magnitude of the recovery during
the pump shutdowns at PW-2 was greater than when the pump was shut down at the end of the test —
a faulty check valve (or lack of one) in the pump could cause this but it should have been replicated
upon terminating the pumping phase of the test unless they closed a valve at the end of the test. The
fact that these data spikes do not appear in the Aqtesolv plots in Appendices C-1 and C-2 indicate the
data sets were manipulated. Again, this should be explained in the report. It is also unfortunate that
the transducers were apparently moved from the wells in Area 2 to perform the testing in Area 1. The
aquifer should have recovered fully before moving the sensors, or, at a minimum, manual water levels
should have been collected to enable recovery method of analysis. You could also pose several
additional questions regarding the water level data:
What is the interpretation of why the pump shutoffs during the test were observed in the data
collected at OW2-1 and OW2-3 but not at OW2-2 during the Area 2 testing and not at OW1-1, OW1-2,
or OW1-3 during Area 1 testing?

I don't think I need to remind you that the DEQ mission is to provide environmental stewardship for the health

Following is an excellent editorial from Mark Zimmerman. If you have not already read this editorial, I would strongly encourage you to

To the editor
Recently, residents of Caswell County learned that The Sunrock Group has applied for a permit from the N.C. Department of
Environmental Quality to build a quarry on a 620-acre parcel of land on Wrenn Road in Prospect Hill. Sunrock couldn't have found a
worse place to site a quarry operation if it had tried.
The land which Sunrock proposes to dig up and remove is less than 1,000 feet from South Hyco Creek, the headwater forming Roxboro
Lake. Worse, not one, not two, but three tributaries feeding Roxboro Lake literally crisscross the quarry property.
Why is that important? Roxboro Lake, a Class II drinking water reservoir, serves as the back-up water source for the more than 8,000
residents of Roxboro. When the main Roxboro reservoir, City Lake, is low, due to little rainfall, Roxboro residents drink water from
Roxboro Lake. They have been drinking Roxboro Lake water since the end of the summer.
Sunrock maintains it will protect that water supply with buffers around the streams and an erosion control plan. The problem is Sunrock
has no experience mining around streams; its other operations are far from waterways. In fact, of the more than 100 aggregate stone
mines in North Carolina, only one is in a watershed like this one and it doesn't have any streams near the property. In short, no one can
know for sure how this large industrial operation will affect water relied on by a town for its drinking water because no one here has any
experience with a site like this one.
Quarries blast bedrock. Heavy machinery crushes and transports the stone. Vibrations, ground water seepage and dust from all
aspects of the operations are byproducts of running a quarry. Given a choice, you wouldn't choose to live by one. Residents living near
the Sunrock Woodsdale quarry in Person County have expressed their concerns about life in close proximity to a quarry. Prospect Hill
neighbors won't be given that choice. Person County residents in Bushy Fork are within a half mile of the proposed quarry. Their wells
may be impacted. Finally, City of Roxboro residents should be concerned. Since this mining will be occurring right next to waterways,
you may not want to live downstream from the mining, either.
Sunrock claims it will be diligent in complying with the requirements for operating its quarry. However, recently two helicopters were
observed spraying herbicide over the quarry land. That would probably include the vegetation within the stream buffers. Buffers don't
matter if nothing is growing there. If those areas were hit, one has to question Sunrock's commitment to stream protection.

Prospect Hill is a peaceful community with an important watershed running through it. For now, anyway. Over 200 concerned citizens in
that area are working to get DEQ to deny the Sunrock permit. They could use some help, though. Roxboro elected officials ought to be
diligent in protecting its water supply from the unknown impacts of this proposed quarry. They should be engaged in the permitting
process with DEQ. Many people's lives, especially among their constituents, may be affected by this decision.

Dear Sir:
I just learned that The Sunrock Group has applied for a permit from the NC Department of Environmental
Quality to build a quarry in Prospect Hil. There are many reasons that building a quarry on this site is a terrible
idea. I will list some of the reasons below:
• It will make daily life miserable for the people who live near the quarry. Blasting will occur many times
during the day and there will be many heavy trucks traveling back and forth.
• There are three tributaries to Roxboro Lake that cross the property. When water supplies are low, this
lake serves as the back-up water supply to Roxboro. Even though the Sunrock Group says that they will
protect water quality, they have no experience mining around streams. Only one other stone quarry in
NC is located in a watershed and that property is not as close to streams as this proposed one is.
• The quarry and associated plant will emit possible carcinogens. Not only is there an elementary school
near the proposed site, but these carcinogens can travel up to 50 miles and so pose dangers to Durham,
Chapel Hill, and the surrounding communities.
• The Republican legislature has changed the permitting process for allowing quarries. In the past, such
facilities were required to renew their permit every ten years; however, with the current legislation, the
permit would be valid basically for as long as the company desires.
• Finally, the elected representatives in Caswell County have spoken out against this quarry, but the only
body that has authority over this matter is the NC Department of Environmental Quality.
I have been a resident of Durham County since 1971 and I am extremely concerned about the lack of concern
for the environment. Please act to deny the permit to Sunrock for the quarry and associated plants. That is the
only decision that will protect the citizens and environment of the Goodliest Land of North Carolina.
Thank you for considering my concerns.

Dear Mr. Dumpor:
I have been made aware that Sunrock is in the final stages of being granted a license to blast a quarry and
build an asphalt plant on the edge of Orange -Person -Caswell counties. I am very much against such a license
because many, like myself, rely on well water. If the blasting were to affect our groundwater table here, there
is the possibility of our not knowing of such a breach and we could become quite ill. This is of grave concern.
I am sure you are aware that more than 200 people filled the courtroom at the hearing last Monday at the
Caswell Courthouse and not one person was in favor of the permit. That should speak loud and clear that such
a plant would adversely affect many residents.
Please deny the permit to Sunrock for the quarry and associated plants. We do not need for our North
Carolina water table to be ruined by an asphalt plant and associated blasting. Water quality is of the utmost
importance here.

impacted. Finally, City of Roxboro residents should be concerned. Since this mining will be occurring right next
to waterways, you may not want to live downstream from the mining, either.
Sunrock claims it will be diligent in complying with the requirements for operating its quarry. However, recently
two helicopters were observed spraying herbicide over the quarry land. That would probably include the
vegetation within the stream buffers. Buffers don't matter if nothing is growing there. if those areas were hit,
one has to question Sunrock's commitment to stream protection.
Prospect Hill is a peaceful community with an important watershed running through it. For now, anyway. Over
200 concerned citizens in that area are working to get DEQ to deny the Sunrock permit. They could use some
help, though. Roxboro elected officials ought to be diligent in protecting its water supply from the unknown
impacts of this proposed quarry. They should be engaged in the permitting process with DEQ. Many people's
lives, especially among their constituents, may be affected by this decision.
Thank you for taking the time to evaluate my concerns.

Dear Samir Dumpor,
We learned only this past weekend about the Sunrock Group's application for a permit from the N.C.
Department of Environmental Quality to build a quarry and asphalt plant on a 620-acre parcel of land on Wrenn
Road in Prospect Hill. As a citizen of Orange County for 35+ years, I must register my objection to this project.
We sincerely hope we are not too late in doing so. PLEASE DENY THE PERMIT TO SUNROCK.
The land Sunrock proposes to quarry and remove is less than a thousand feet from South Hyco Creek --
headwater to Roxboro Lake! In addition, three tributaries feeding the lake cross the quarry property. Roxboro
Lake is a drinking water reservoir that serves as a back-up water source for the 8,000+ residents of Roxboro. 1
don't believe that it will be possible to protect this water supply. Currently, Sunrock has no experience mining
around streams. (And, in fact, we just learned that of the more than 100 aggregate stone mines in North
Carolina, only one is in a watershed like this and it doesn't have any streams near the property!)
Heavy machinery, vibrations from blasting, ground water seepage, and dust from all aspects of mining
operations will destroy quality of life for the people of Prospect Hill. And what about the farms in this area,
many of which use organic methods?
It concerns me further that now that our state legislature has dropped the requirement that mining companies
must reapply for their permits every 10 years, there will be no way to address the failure of Sunrock to keep to
its commitment to protect streams and water supplies.

This quarry would destroy our local and broader level ecosystem and watershed. t farm without the use of synthetic pesticides,

Greetings Samir Dumpor,
I am writing to you as a very concerned citizen of NC to ask in your role with Departmant of
Environmental Quality for your deepest consideration of issues of
enviromental quality, endangered species and public health connected
with the Sunrock permit.
I just recently learned that The Sunrock Group has applied for a permit from the N.C. Department
of Environmental Quality to build a quarry on a 620-acre parcel of land on Wrenn Road in Prospect
Hill. I was a resident Caswell County for many years and I worked at the Senior Citizens Center in
Prospect Hill. This peaceful rural community is a terrible place to site a quarry operation. I
am extremely concerned about this permit for Sunrock to build a quarry and production plants in
Prospect Hill.
I am writing to strongly request that you deny the permit to Sunrock for
the proposed quarry and associated plants. The land which Sunrock
proposes to dig up and remove is less than 1,000 feet from South Hyco
Creek, the headwater forming Roxboro Lake. Worse, not one, not two, but
three tributaries feeding Roxboro Lake literally crisscross the quarry
property.
Why is that important? Roxboro Lake, a Class II drinking water reservoir, serves as the back-up
water source for the more than 8,000 residents of Roxboro. When the main Roxboro reservoir, City
Lake, is low, due to little rainfall, Roxboro residents drink water from Roxboro Lake. They have
been drinking Roxboro Lake water since the end of this summer due to lack of rainfall.
Sunrock has no experience mining around streams: all its other operations are far from
waterways. No one can know for sure how this large industrial operation will affect the quality of
water relied on by a town for its drinking water because no one here has any experience with a site
like this one.

Quarries blast bedrock. Heavy machinery crushes and transports the stone. Vibrations, ground
water seepage and dust .from all aspects of the operations are byproducts of running a quarry. Given
a choice, you wouldn't choose to live by one. Residents living near the Sunrock Woodsdale quarry
in Person County have expressed their concerns about life in close proximity to a quarry. Prospect
Hill neighbors won't be given that choice. Person. County residents in Bushy Fork are within a half
mile of the proposed quarry. Their wells may be impacted. Finally, City of Roxboro residents who
are aware of this situation are very concerned. Since this mining will be occurring right next to
waterways, people may .not want to live downstream from the mining, either.
Sunrock claims it will be diligent in complying with the requirements for operating its quarry.
However, recently two helicopters were observed spraying herbicide over the quarry land. That
would probably include the vegetation within the stream buffers. Buffers don't matter if nothing is
growing there. If those areas were hit, one has to question Sunrock's commitment to stream
protection.
Prospect Hill is a peaceful rural farming community with an important watershed running through
it. I am adding my voice to the outcry for protecting this water supply from the unknown impacts of
this proposed quarry. Many people"s lives will be affected by this decision. why are the
government elected officials not responding and rejecting this permit?At a hearinglast
Monday at the Caswell Courthouse more than 200 people filled the
courtroom and spilled down the stairs. Not one person was in favor of this
quarry.
Families who have been on their land since before the Revolution literally wept and pleaded with
the DEQ not to approve this permit. One 98 year old man read a 3 page statement that was
heartbreaking. The carcinogens from the quarry and plant can literally travel SO miles, which
means Chapel Hill, Durham, Burlington, Hillsborough, etc. will be affected. This quarry will affect
water quality, the environment and all the local farmers. One young woman at the
hearing completely broke down — sharing that she had grown up near a
quarry in NY and she just kept saying — "It will wreck all these people's
lives." Blasting 6 days a week, 75 heavy truck trips a day" (that's about
one every 6 minutes). Many farmers who supply Weaver St. Markets and
others attending spoke about how the toxic waste would ruin some of the
cleanest streams in the state. A geologist and hydrologist spoke about mis-
information in Sunrock's applications and tests. And last but not least, there is
an elementary school just a few miles away!

You can prevent this disaster from happening. Let go of listening to the corporations and choose to
listen, protect & take care of the people, the water & the mother earth! we do not need more
mining and certainly not one that is permitted for 50 years! As best I understand, the mission of the
DEQ and your job is to provide: environmental stewardship for the health and prosperity of ALL
North Carolinians." This permit is in direct violation of that mission!
Please deny the permit to Sunrock for the proposed Quarry and associated plants.

Jane Meadows

As a long time North Carolina resident I am very concerned about Sunrock's proposed asphalt quarry and plant.
The health hazards are many and affect the population for miles. I ask that the permit to Sunrock be denied.

Dear Samir Dumpor,
I am a concerned NC citizen. I live in north western
Orange County. I have read about the proposed
permit to Sunrock for a quarry and asphalt plants in Caswell county,
and I am writing to express my strong opposition to this permitting,
and to urge you to deny this permitting.
As I understand it, there is large opposition to this in Caswell county,
including from farmers, parents and environmental scientists.
The quarrying and plants would cause both water and air pollution
for animals, plants and humans in a large area of our state,
as well as sound pollution for the very local residents.
And drinking water in local towns may be effected.
I read a letter to the editor of a Roxboro paper who said
that Sunrock does not have experience in protecting streams,
since their other plants are not close to streams as this would be.
And that in fact, throughout our entire state there is only one
out of 100 quarries that are built where streams are impacted.
I also heard that at the Caswell county hearing on this a hydrologist
and geologist brought to awareness some misinformation in Sunrock's
applications and tests.
I strongly urge you to deny the permit to Sunrock for the quarry
and associated plants.

Love, .Kathleen

Re: Sunrock Group Quarry in Prospect Hill NC
Dear Mr. Dumpor:
I live within five miles by road, probably three as the crow flies, of the proposed Sunrock Group
Quarry in Prospect Hill NC, thus am deeply concerned about this plan. Now, as a general rule, I
agree that quarries need to exist and should not cause too much disruption to daily life.
However, it does seem that this particular quarry has a few unknowns regarding water, air, and
well quality up to a fify mile radius.
I understand the DEQ can only consider environmental quality, endangered species, and public
health in terms of stopping something like this. Clearly environmental issues are at stake as is
public health (with the Prospect Hill Community Health Center alarmingly close to the quart'
site). It seems to me that the company would need to do more than promise to take care of the
watershed and surrounding areas. Over and over again that kind of verbiage is just that, words
without any action backing them.
Please deny the permit to Sunrock for the quarry and associated plants.

I am an extremely concerned North Carolinian who lives about 20 miles southeast of the proposed rock quarry in Orange

a huge public safety concern because of the potential impact on the 3 tributaries feeding Roxboro Lake which serves as

says it will protect the water supply but accidents do happen even with the best of intentions.

Dear Samir Dumpor
Please consider denying the permit for the proposed Asphalt plant in Orange, Person and Caswell counties. Below is a list of toxic air
pollutants given off by an asphalt plant. It looks like only asphalt plant emissions of particulate matter (PM2.5 and PMIG, carbon
monoxide, sulfur dioxide, nitrogen dioxide, and lead are monitored by the federal government.
My family moved to North Carolina 36 years ago to get away from the polluted air of the big cities in the North. Suffering from
asthma my whole life it was a relief to come to North Carolina. Lately the air quality regulations are being relaxed and all the
progress made in cleaning the air and water is being undone. Please don't allow another asphalt plant in this area. My grand daughter
has asthma and I don't want her to suffer growing up the way I did.

To the editor:
Recently, residents of Caswell County learned that The Sunrock Group has applied for a permit
from the N.C. Department of Environmental Quality to build a quarry on a 620-acre parcel of land
on Wrenn Road in Prospect Hill. Sunrock couldn't have found a worse place to site a quarry
operation if it had tried.
The land which Sunrock proposes to dig up and remove is less than 1,000 feet from South Hyco
Creek, the headwater forming Roxboro Lake. Worse, not one, not two, but three tributaries feeding
Roxboro Lake literally crisscross the quarry property.
Why is that important? Roxboro Lake, a Class lI drinking water reservoir, serves as the back-up
water source for the more than 8,000 residents of Roxboro. When the main Roxboro reservoir, City
Lake, is low, due to little rainfall, Roxboro residents drink water from Roxboro Lake. They have
been drinking Roxboro Lake water since the end of the summer.

Sunrock maintains it will protect that water supply with buffers around the streams and an erosion
control plan. The problem is Sunrock has no experience mining around streams; its other operations
are far from waterways. In fact, of the more than 100 aggregate stone mines in North Carolina, only
one is in a watershed like this one and it doesn't have any streams near the property. In short, no
one can know for sure how this large industrial operation will affect water relied on by a town for
its drinking water because no one here has any experience with a site like this one.
Quarries blast bedrock. Heavy machinery crushes and transports the stone. Vibrations, ground
water seepage and dust from all aspects of the operations are byproducts of running a quarry. Given
a choice, you wouldn't choose to live by one. Residents living near the Sunrock Woodsdale quarry
in Person County have expressed their concerns about life in close proximity to a quarry. Prospect
Hill neighbors won't be given that choice. Person County residents in Bushy Fork are within a half
mile of the proposed quarry. Their wells may be impacted. Finally, City of Roxboro residents
should be concerned. Since this mining will be occurring right next to waterways, you may not
want to live downstream from the mining, either.
Sunrock claims it will be diligent in complying with the requirements for operating its quarry.
However, recently two helicopters were observed spraying herbicide over the quarry land. That
would probably include the vegetation within the stream buffers. Buffers don't matter if nothing is
growing there. If those areas were hit, one has to question Sunrock's commitment to stream
protection.
Prospect Hill is a peaceful community with an important watershed running through it. For now,
anyway. Over 200 concerned citizens in that area are working to get DEQ to deny the Sunrock
permit. They could use some help, though. Roxboro elected officials ought to be diligent in
protecting its water supply from the unknown impacts of this proposed quarry. They should be
engaged in the permitting process with DEQ. Many people's lives, especially among their
constituents, may be affected by this decision.

Hello,

Dear Mr. Dumpor:
As a North Carolina citizen who is very concerned about our water quality, I am horrified to read that The
Sunrock Group has applied for a permit for a quarry and asphalt plant at the edge of Orange, Person, and
Caswell counties. Should this permit be granted, the purity of South Hyco Creek, which feeds a backup
drinking water reservoir for Roxboro, will be seriously jeopardized. Vibrations, seepage, and dust are
inevitable results of quarry operations. The proposed site is too close to important streams, private wells, and
the elementary school to be operated without harm to public health and the environment.
I urge you to deny Sunrock Groups application.

To Whom it Many Concern,
I am writing to express my opposition to the SunRock Quarry proposed for Prospect Hill, NC and my deep
concern about this potential development.
For many years it was a tradition for my kids and I to go pick organic strawberries at the Whitted-Bowers farm
in this area. I was always struck by the beauty and peace of the farm, and the wide, blue sky stretching as far as
I could see. What a tragedy it would be to have this peaceful rural agricultural area rocked by blasting and
shrouded in toxic dust.
All over NC, small farms are failing. When my kids were younger there were several organic pick -your -own
farms we could choose from for strawberry picking, and a large selection of pumpkin farms. One by one these
farms have been forced out of business, and now we have to travel to other areas to find the few remaining
farms. How sad it would be for the kids of the future not to be able to visit local farms and explore their vital
connection with the food they eat and the land that sustains them.

I have learned also that the area where the quarry is proposed includes three streams, wetlands, and drinking
water sources. If the quarry permit is approved, not only will the local farms no longer be able to grow healthy
food, but NC residents both local and downstream will have toxic contaminants and excess sediments in their
drinking water sources, as well as their air.
In addition, I know there is an oak -hickory forest adjacent to the proposed quarry area. This region, with clear
streams (certified as drinking water sources) and beautiful forests (labeled as especially significant for
biodiversity), should be preserved, not destroyed. It is home not just to humans, but to many species important
to the richness of our heritage and our future. Threatened species in this area include the Carolina Ladle
Crayfish, Smooth Coneflower, Red -Cockaded Woodpecker, Monarch Butterfly, and many more. Natural areas
where people can enjoy nature and clean air and water are essential to the health of our planet and all its
inhabitants. The fate of humans is directly related to how we care for our home. A future with healthy food,
water, air, and people depends on healthy forests and streams. This is not just for refreshing our bodies, but for
restoring our souls. People nurtured by time spent outdoors in beautiful fields and forests do not engage in the
senseless violence that is destroying our society today and terrorizing our young people.
When I was a child growing up, there was a pervading sense that we lived in a better world, better than it used
to be. There was a feeling that we had come through some hard things, battles against genocide and fights for
civil rights, and emerged as a better people with great hope for a future filled with peace, goodwill, and
opportunity. What happened? Today, as our own children are growing up, there is a pervading sense of doom.
Children are afraid to go to school because of the very real possibility they might get shot. Young adults are
faced with the terrible truth that they may not be able to pass a habitable planet on to their own children and
grandchildren. Our kids are faced with a future filled with violence, civil unrest and natural disasters due to
global warming, extinction, and hopelessness. And yet we lack the political will to do anything about it. How
can this be? What greater charge to keep have we than to leave our children a world a little better than we found
it? A future a little more promising than our own was? Partly, this lack of political will lies in the fact that no
one can solve such huge problems on their own, and people throw their hands in the air, wondering what can
they do in the face of problems that are on such a vast scale. But everyone can make choices that will impact
future generations in positive ways. Everyone can choose to pollute less, make less trash, choose healthier
products and more sustainable development. Everyone has opportunities to choose to preserve nature rather
than destroy it.
I urge you to seize the opportunity in front of you to preserve this area of natural and agricultural beauty around
Prospect Hill and to protect it and the clean water and food it provides for future generations. Do NOT allow the
SunRock Quarry proposal for Prospect Hill to proceed.
Sincerely,
Lisa McDowell

Dear Mr. Dumpor,
I am a citizen of North Carolina living in Carrboro. I am asking the DEQ to deny the permit to Sunrock for a

Dear Samir Dumpor,
I recently learned about a 620-acre quarry proposed for Prospect Hill in Caswell County. As a North Carolina
resident (I've lived in Durham for almost four decades) I'm very concerned about the effect that this quarry and
its associated air and water pollution would have on nearby reservoirs, wells, and farms, as well as the health of
Caswell County, Orange County, and Person County residents and wildlife.
I understand that the quarry would pollute the headwaters of the Eno, as well as the streams and other
waterways close to the mine, so it would affect my county's water supply, too.
The quarry would do an enormous amount of permanent damage. Please deny the permit to Carolina Sunrock
for the quarry and associated plants.
Thank you for your attention.
Best wishes,

As a very concerned North Carolina citizen and voter, I am writing to urge you to please deny Sunrock a permit for a
quarry and asphalt plant on the edge of Orange, Person, and Caswell counties. The proposed facility would negatively
impact groundwater and watersheds essential to people and farms in the surrounding area and downstream, and with the
new lifetime permitting, there would be no recourse from periodic review. There is strong, almost universal resistance
among citizens in the area and in potentially affected communities downstream, as well as with food buyers
elsewhere. This is exactly what DEQ is charged with protecting.
Again. I urge you, PLEASE deny Sunrock a permit.

Dear Mr Dumpor,
I am a concrerned resident of Orange County, North Carolina, writing to strongly urge you to deny a permit to the
Sunrock company to build a quarry and associated plants on a 620 acre parcel of land on Wrenn Road in Prospect Hill,
North Carolina.
A quarry at this location would seriously pollute the reserve water supply for the city of Roxboro. The site is less than
1,000 feet fom South Hyco Creek, the headwater foming Roxboro Lake, and two of the tributaries feeding Roxboro Lake
actually crisscross the proposed quarry property. While Sunrock maintains that it will protect the water supply, this
company has no previous experience operating a quarry in a watershed. They have no evidence from their own
operations or from quarries located elsewhere in North Carolina that the buffers and erosion control plan the company
is proposing will be effective enough to guarantee the safety of the Roxboro reserve water supply.
Furthermore the proposed quarry and mining operations would seriously comprise the quality of daily life for residents
of the Prospect Hill area. The ongoing operation of a large industrial operation this type typically creates disruptive
heavy machinery traffic, as well as noise, heavy dust, ongoing vibrations, and ground water seepage. Finally, rural
Prospect Hill residents and those of nearby Bushy Fork would be at considerable risk of contamination of their wells.
For all those reasons, I urge you - as a representative of the Department of Environmental Quality - to protect the
health, safety and prosperity of the North Carolina residents who would be impacted by the proposed quarry. Please
deny the permit to Sunrock for the quarry and associated plants.
Sincerely yours,

the effects.
I trust Sunrock chose Caswell county because we are the 2nd poorest county in the state. We are also
experiencing the highest cancer rates in the state. Just consider the environmental hazards they will be
introducing into our watershed: Carcinogens, Silicon dust, petroleum by-products and the effects to the
wildlife and lastly the wellbeing of the inhabitants surrounding the mine. It will cause our property values to

Dear Samir Dumpor:
As a North Carolinian who lives near an endangered river and drinking water reservoir (the Haw River and Jordan
Lake), I am writing in deep concern to support my neighbors in Caswell, Person, and Orange Counties who are
rising up to plead for the protection of their own remarkably undefiled land and water from the proposed Sunrock
quarry and asphalt plant.
There are so few places left which can be described as "pristine," "clean," or "undefiled." It is unthinkable to
destroy such a place for generations to come in exchange for the short-term profit of any company.
I don't mean human generations only, although the people living in the affected region have deep roots and
cherished homes there. I also mean generations of the diverse wildlife that occupy that area --black bear, turkey, and
a nearly extinct community of river mussels, to name a few.
The human and animal residents alike depend on the clean water and air for their life and wellbeing, and this will
certainly be destroyed by acres of blasting deep in the earth and extensive daily trucking of product. The health of
this region as well as drinkers of its water downstream (Roxboro, and potentially Durham via the Eno) will be
irretrievably lost if this project goes forward.
Dear friends of mine live within a few miles of the proposed site, as do respected farmers whose nourishing food I
have eaten for the past 17 years.
I urge you to remember your mission to provide envimnmenial stewardship for the health and prosperity of ALL North
Carolinians, and to deny the permit to Sunrock for the quarry and associated plants.
Thank you for your time and attention to this letter.

which is a supplier for Wake. Cary, others from the 3 reservoirs in Durham.
This is a BIG deal. We're talking about the destruction of our precious water. And Water is life. Once this permit is granted
there is no going back. This CAN NOT HAPPEN just for sake of a business, economic advantage for a singular business
venture.
Some counties, like Durham , are already battling unfair, unscroupulous activities, proposals that would affect our/regional
water reservoirs. And Chatham Co. [ have stated in several venues that a development of thus magnitude shoild be reqd to in
Jude a reservoir to at least assist in thetr huge water demand.
But thus quarry proposal WILL be precedent for future land uses, rezonings, etc. to allow more of the same.
So what if a relative few stand to make big bucks ... if they don't have water to drink or even support their self-serving proposal,
they'll just have to move away —like the rest of us residents in a wide area.
Please do not approve this Quarry proposal.

Please do the right thing for the people who will bear the greatest impact to their environment and deny this
mining permit and any permits to the quarry for associated plants.

Dear Mr. Dumpor,
I appreciate the opportunity to comment on the mining permit application by Carolina Sunrock. As a
concerned NC citizen, regular voter, and taxpayer, I am joining with others to ask the NC Department of
Environmental Quality to deny this permit for the quarry and the associated asphalt plant. This mining
operation would be located perilously close to an important watershed for Person County. Our state
government needs to be diligent in protecting the water supply from the unknown impacts of this proposed
quarry.

Mr. Samir Dumpor
DEMLR Washington Regional Office
Washington, North Carolina
November 10, 2019
Dear Mr. Dumpor,
Our family has been in North Carolina for more than 300 years. Everyone in our community of Northern Orange
and Southern Caswell and Person has been blessed with the priceless gift of a land filled with good neighbors,
productive farms, clean water, abundant wildlife, historic homes, and welcoming churches.
As concern seems far too mild a term, let me say I'm writing to share my horror at the Sunrock request for a
permit to essentially destroy our local ecosystems and environments in order to profit from that decimation.
The residents in these three counties have only learned of this proposal in the past few weeks, but what we've
heard from local geologists and hydrologists makes it clear that Sunrock has initially misinformed the public about the
damage the project will wreak and that they are attempting to mislead our government protectors, as well. We who live
in these vulnerable counties know how critical watershed protection is for the environment, local species, and human
residents.
As you well know, a small shift in one area can lead to massive change in a system, and while it would be
impossible to predict the scale and scope of the damage, we do know that the proposed 700-acre quarry, not to
mention the asphalt and cement plants, is no small shift. It's a massive project that will drastically change the local
environment forever. It is impossible to know the scale of the effect this operation will have on nearby watersheds. But
we can say with certainty that the project will jeopardize the water quality of Roxboro Lake, a Class II drinking water
reservoir that serves as a critical backup water source for Roxboro — residents have been drinking from that reservoir for
months because of what is designated as a "moderate drought." If the past 10 years are any indication, this drought will
be a recurring situation. We seem to have entered a new annual weather pattern, with a rainy season in which 10
inches of water deluges the area in the space of a day or two and then a dry season where we end up in moderate to
severe drought.
Sunrock has enough of a reputation and history to make us quite sure they cannot be trusted. As far as we can tell, there
is only one other aggregate stone mine in North Carolina in a similar watershed, and that one isn't near any streams.
Why in the world would we let them play fast and loose with our pristine waters just so they can turn a profit?
Our area is rich with farmers who have been farming their lands for hundreds of years, as well as a new
generation of young farmers who have moved from across the country to this area specifically for the clean water and
clean air. Polluted water will certainly have a negative impact on these farmers, young and old. And just when we are
moving toward a regenerated farming community, with organic and biodynamic and sustainable agriculture really taking
root in this area. One of the co-founders of the Piedmont Progressive Farmers Group, an organization that supports
African American and minority farmers, spoke at the hearing Monday night and made this point well. We cannot afford
the environmental and health threats that this asphalt -cement -quarry operation would bring.
I was also very troubled at the hearing, and at other meetings, to listen to nearby schoolchildren and their
parents speak. I have read the letters the children are writing to protest this plan.

I met a young woman who didn't speak publicly but who told me of her pulmonary disease, which is monitored
regularly. She moved to the area years ago specifically because of her lung condition.
Again, we are looking at industrial waste and pollution from the asphalt plant; oil, gas,diesel leakage pollution (it
was astonishing to hear from that manager about the amount of truck leakage/seeping!); particulate matter being
dispersed for many miles; surface and drinking water toxins and pollutants, depletion of wells for an unknown area;
depletion of a major aquifer; disruption of farming (both produce and animal —the major source of revenue in this area);
not to mention the other consequences not under consideration: the lowered mental health of residents from ongoing
noise, light pollution, traffic — these are roads down which farm equipment and a very few cars travel every day. Can
you imagine going from possibly 5 —10 cars per day to heavy trucks every 6 minutes?
The environmental, geologic and social damage from this kind of mining has been thoroughly documented. I
cannot believe in 2019 that these three counties are really having to fight a proposal by a private company to destroy
our lands for their profit.
As the county commissioners in Orange and Caswell consider how best to fight Sunrock's proposed quarry
blasting -asphalt -cement plants, and look at new, planned growth with intelligent zoning, and as residents make plans for
a long court battle, it struck me that all this might be avoided if the DEQ listened to the residents of these three counties
and just denied the permit. After listening Monday for more than three hours, I'm sure there is ample reason to do so.
We are each of us stewards of a land and a community which existed long before any of us came into the world.
As stewards of this land for this short period of time, we have a responsibility to care for it in a way that ensures future
generations, our children and grandchildren, will inherit a land filled with abundant trees, clean streams, bountiful
wildlife, and a welcoming community.
As my mother always said, "Leave a place better than when you found it."
Respectfully,

Greetings.
I am a North Carolina citizen. My drinking water is downstream of the proposed quarry, and the proposed
quarry is part of a watershed that irrigates our food. Having performed some research, it is apparent Sunrock
does not have the experience necessary to mitigate public health impacts from operations, nor is it likely that
any other firm does, as it seems the only firms with track records of mining/extraction near important
watersheds only have a track record of poisoning those watersheds for generations.
Significant degradation of environmental quality is a certainty. The risk to public health is also too great. Since
permits are now issued in near -perpetuity, with no re -permitting accountability for operators, please deny this
permit.

Dear Mr. Dumpor,
As a concerned North Carolinian, I am writing to ask that you deny the Sunrock permit for the planned quarry and

Creek, which feeds Roxboro Lake, a Class II drinking water reservoir. It is your duty to place human health - for everyone

Dear Mr. Dumper,
I am writing to you today to express my deep concern over the prospect of granting a permit to The Sunrock Group and associated
plants to build a quarry on a 620-acre parcel of land in North Carolina. As a resident of the state I am requesting you deny this permit
as it will cause environmental and community harm to my follow citizens. I would image this is a concern you share, given the DEQ's
missions to provide environmental stewardship for the health and prosperity of all North Carolinians.
It is my understanding that the land that The Sunrock Group plans to mine is less than 1.000 feet from South Hyco Creek, the
headwater forming Roxboro Lake. There is little, if any, evidence to suggest that The Sunrock Group can successfully manage the
environmental impact of mining near such a sensitive area. Safe drinking water is a right we all have, and no corporations should be
able to deny us that.
In addition to the environmental concerns 1 have. I also have concerns about the impact mining operations would have on the general
well-being of the surrounding communities. The noise pollution caused by constant blasting and heavy machinery (both crushing the
rock on site and transporting it offsite) would be devasting to have to live with day to day. As someone who works from home and has
young children in her house, I cannot image what that would be like. Given that, I cannot wish it or accept it for anyone else in my
state.
I ask that you deny the requested permit to The Sunrock Group and any associated plants. Preserving our environment and our
communities is in your mission statement as an organization. Do not fail us in favor of corporate interests that give nothing back.
Please note I have also sent you a printed letter to your office but in the interest of time, wanted to email this duplicate.
Thank you for your help.

To Whom it May Concern,
I am a NC citizen that just recently learned that The Sunrock Group has applied for a
permit from the N.C. Department of Environmental Quality to build a quarry on a 620-acre
parcel of land on Wrenn Road in Prospect Hill. While I do not live in Caswell County, I am
on the Planning Board for Chatham County and our zoning regulations would never have
allowed this heavy industrial process in a residential area especially in a watershed with
critical habitat without due process and much environmental investigation and
regulation. Even then it likely would be denied given the sensitive nature of the area and
the impact to residents and the watershed.
The land which Sunrock proposes to dig up and remove is less than 1,000 feet from South
Hyco Creek, the headwater forming Roxboro Lake. Worse, not one, not two, but three
tributaries feeding Roxboro Lake literally crisscross the quarry property.
Roxboro Lake, a Class II drinking water reservoir, serves as the back-up water source for
the more than 8,000 residents of Roxboro. When the main Roxboro reservoir, City Lake, is
low, due to little rainfall, Roxboro residents drink water from Roxboro Lake. They have
been drinking Roxboro Lake water since the end of the summer.
Sunrock maintains it will protect that water supply with buffers around the streams and an
erosion control plan. The problem is Sunrock has no experience mining around streams;
its other operations are far from waterways. In fact, of the more than 100 aggregate stone
mines in North Carolina, only one is in a watershed like this one and it doesn't have any
streams near the property. In short, no one can know for sure how this large industrial
operation will affect water relied on by a town for its drinking water because no one here
has any experience with a site like this one.
I implore you to protect the environmental quality of this area and deny the quarry
permit. We are dealing with so many water quality issues right now in NC, please take the
steps now to prevent another one.
Thank you,
Jamie Hager

Recently, residents of Caswell County learned that The Sunrock Group has applied for a permit from the N.C.

Quarries blast bedrock. Heavy machinery crushes and transports the stone. Vibrations, ground water seepage and dust
from all aspects of the operations are byproducts of running a quarry. Given a choice, you wouldn't choose to live by
one. Residents living near the Sunrock Woodsdale quarry in Person County have expressed their concerns about life in
close proximity to a quarry. Prospect Hill neighbors won't be given that choice. Person County residents in Bushy Fork
are within a half mile of the proposed quarry. Their wells may be impacted. Finally, City of Roxboro residents should be
concerned. Since this mining will be occurring right next to waterways, you may not want to live downstream from the
mining, either.
Sunrock claims it will be diligent in complying with the requirements for operating its quarry. However, recently two
helicopters were observed spraying herbicide over the quarry land. That would probably include the vegetation within
the stream buffers. Buffers don't matter if nothing is growing there. If those areas were hit, one has to question
Sunrock's commitment to stream protection.
Prospect Hill is a peaceful community with an important watershed running through it. For now, anyway. Over 200
concerned citizens in that area are working to get DEQ to deny the Sunrock permit. They could use some help, though.

Roxboro elected officials ought to be diligent in protecting its water supply from the unknown impacts of this proposed
quarry. They should be engaged in the permitting process with DEQ. Many people's lives, especially among their
constituents, may be affected by this decision.

Hi Samir,
I'm the CEO of Klickly and am writing in hopes you'll read my thoughts (yes it's a tad long :). I write to
you as an extremely concerned North Carolinian asking you to DENY the ill-informed Sunrock
mining permit.
I'll explain. I recently learned that The Sunrock Group has applied for a permit from you (N.C.
Department of Environmental Quality) to build a 620-acre quarry Prospect Hill. Sunrock couldn't have
found a worse place to site a quarry operation if it had tried. Even the county commissioners
passed a resolution against the quarry.
As a great organization dedicated to environmental impact, DEQ should think about the implications
to the endangered wildlife in the area AND the potentially horrific public health ramifications of a
mining operation situated on top of 3 tributaries that feed a Class 11 Drinking Water Reservoir.
The mine will have an undeniable negative impact on public health. And Sunrock's feeble
attempts to claim they have experience working around waterways appears to be nothing but lip -
service. Looking at their other operations, they have zero track record or experience in this area
whatsoever.
Thus, the DEQ should assume that this area will suffer negative impact similar to countless other
mining sites around the nation, impact that is well -documented and none of it good By allowing the
mine to go ahead, the DEQ will be giving Sunrock a blank check to:
2. Contaminate a Class II Drinking Reservoir
3.
4.
5. Deplete our wells
8. Seep mercury into the soil
9.
10.
11. Leak asbestos and dust into the atmosphere
12.
13.

14. Potentially exacerbate asthma due to the
15. asbestos, dust, and heavy transportation
16.
17.
18. Harm long-term health of the nearby population
19. (with possible water -borne implications throughout a few counties for years to come)
20.
This is not acceptable. It is not worth the meager economic value (which won't go to the local public)
and the pitiful 15 jobs they bring. Even the county commissioners passed a resolution against
the mine.
Samir, your bio and Linkedin show you are someone who has spent a huge amount of time studying
the complexities of waterFlow and impacts of unclean water (stormwater / sewage / etc) as well as
mining -like operations in general. You know the ramifications here. You are also familiar with the
frequent ways contractors and corporations cut costs and pay lip -service to compliance just to get a
permit. In the service of their business.
I am the CEO of a fast-growing, award -winning company backed by folks @ Google, Amazon, and
Adobe. I "get" business. But it is NOT OKAY to grow businesses in North Carolina at the
expense of the health and well-being of good, hard-working North Carolinians. You don't have
to have proof people will die! The mere possibility of damaged health should prompt a big fat
"no" from the DEQ.
Please DENY the ill-advised Sunrock permit.
We do not want Prospect Hill being the next Hinkley, CA made famous by Erin Brockovich. Or Libby,
MT. Or Picher, OK.
I'd encourage you to keep us safe and healthy. And if you're worried about the 15 jobs, I'll personally
hire 15 ppl in Prospect Hill at my company today.

3. An account from Prospect Hill Town Hall on Tuesday
There was a hearing last Monday at the Caswell Courthouse that was amazing —more than 200
people filled the courtroom and spilled down the stairs. Not one person was in favor.
Families who have been on their land since before the Revolution literally wept and pleaded with
the DEQ not to approve this permit.
One 98 year old man managed to get to the mic and read a 3 page statement. It was heartbreaking.
The carcinogens from the quarry and plant can literally travel 50 miles, which means Chapel Hill,
Durham, Burlington, Hillsborough, etc.
M

One young woman completely broke down —she had grown up near a quarry in NY and just kept
saying, "It will wreck all these people's lives." Blasting 6 days a week, 75 heavy truck trips a day
(that's about one every 6 minutes).
Many farmers who supply the Weaver St. Markets in NC and others spoke about how the toxic
waste would ruin some of the cleanest streams in the state.
A geologist and hydrologist spoke about mis-information in Sunrock's applications and tests.
Anyway, I could go on but you get the drift. This quarry and accompanying plants are a horrible
idea —three pristine streams that feed Lake Roxboro (drinking water) cross the property.
There is an elementary school a few miles away.

I am the CEO of a fast-growing, award -winning company backed by folks @ Google, Amazon,

prompt a big fat "no" from the DEQ.
Please DENY the ill-advised Sunrock permit.
We do not want Prospect Hill being the next Hinkley, CA made famous by Erin Brockovich. Or
Libby, MT. Or Picher, OK.
I'd encourage you to keep us safe and healthy. And if you're worried about the 15 jobs, I'll
personally hire 15 ppl in Prospect Hill at my company today.

Hi Samir,
I'm the CEO of Klickly and am writing in hopes you'll read my thoughts (yes it's a tad long :). I
write to you as an extremely concerned North Carolinian asking you to DENY the
ill-informed Sunrock mining permit.
I'll explain. I recently learned that The Sunrock Group has applied for a permit from you (N.C.
Department of Environmental Quality) to build a 620-acre quarry Prospect Hill. Sunrock couldn't
have found a worse place to site a quarry operation if it had tried. Even the county
commissioners passed a resolution against the quarry.
As a great organization dedicated to environmental impact, DEQ should think about the
implications to the endangered wildlife in the area AND the potentially horrific public health
ramifications of a mining operation situated on top of 3 tributaries that feed a Class II
Drinking Water Reservoir.
The mine will have an undeniable negative impact on public health. And Sunrock's feeble
attempts to claim they have experience working around waterways appears to be nothing but
lip -service. Looking at their other operations, they have zero track record or experience in this
area whatsoever.
Thus, the DEQ should assume that this area will suffer negative impact similar to countless
other mining sites around the nation, impact that is well -documented and none of it good By
allowing the mine to go ahead, the DEQ will be giving Sunrock a blank check to:
1. Contaminate a Class II Drinking Reservoir
2. Deplete our wells
3. Seep mercury into the soil
4. Leak asbestos and dust into the atmosphere
5. Potentially exacerbate asthma due to the asbestos, dust, and heavy transportation
6. Harm long-term health of the nearby population (with possible water -borne implications
throughout a few counties for years to come)
This is not acceptable. It is not worth the meager economic value (which won't go to the local
public) and the pitiful 15 jobs they bring. Even the county commissioners passed a
resolution against the mine.

diligent in protecting its water supply from the unknown impacts of this proposed quarry. They
should be engaged in the permitting process with DEQ. Many people's lives, especially among
their constituents, may be affected by this decision.
Also:
Dust from mining of aggregates and asbestos and transportation will exacerbate asthma,
especially in vulnerable populations - the elderly, children and the poor.
3. An account from Prospect Hill Town Hall on Tuesday
There was a hearing last Monday at the Caswell Courthouse that was amazing —more than 200
people filled the courtroom and spilled down the stairs. Not one person was in favor.
Families who have been on their land since before the Revolution literally wept and pleaded
with the DEQ not to approve this permit. One 98 year old man managed to get to the mic and
read a 3 page statement. It was heartbreaking. The carcinogens from the quarry and plant can
literally travel 50 miles, which means Chapel Hill, Durham, Burlington. Hillsborough, etc.
One young woman completely broke down —she had grown up near a quarry in NY and just
kept saying, "It will wreck all these people's lives." Blasting 6 days a week, 75 heavy truck trips a
day (that's about one every 6 minutes).
Many farmers who supply the Weaver St. Markets in NC and others spoke about how the toxic
waste would ruin some of the cleanest streams in the state.
A geologist and hydrologist spoke about mis-information in Sunrock's applications and
tests.
Anyway, I could go on but you get the drift. This quarry and accompanying plants are a horrible
idea —three pristine streams that feed Lake Roxboro (drinking water) cross the property.
There is an elementary school a few miles away.
The county commissioners passed a resolution against it.
Representatives Graig Meyer and Mike Woodard are against it.
The only body that has any power in the situation is the DEQ. We hope and trust they will also
follow suit in denying this short-sighted plan.

To the editor
Recently, residents of Caswell County learned that The Sunrock Group has applied for a permit
from the N.C. Department of Environmental Quality to build a quarry on a 620-acre parcel of
land on Wrenn Road in Prospect Hill. Sunrock couldn't have found a worse place to site a
quarry operation if it had tried.
The land which Sunrock proposes to dig up and remove is less than 1,000 feet from South Hyco
Creek, the headwater forming Roxboro Lake. Worse, not one, not two, but three tributaries
feeding Roxboro Lake literally crisscross the quarry property.
Why is that important? Roxboro Lake, a Class II drinking water reservoir, serves as the
back-up water source for the more than 8,000 residents of Roxboro. When the main Roxboro
reservoir, City Lake, is low, due to little rainfall, Roxboro residents drink water from Roxboro
Lake. They have been drinking Roxboro Lake water since the end of the summer.
Sunrock maintains it will protect that water supply with buffers around the streams and an
erosion control plan. The problem is Sunrock has no experience mining around streams; its
other operations are far from waterways. In fact, of the more than 100 aggregate stone mines in
North Carolina, only one is in a watershed like this one and it doesn't have any streams near the
property. In short, no one can know for sure how this large industrial operation will affect water
relied on by a town for its drinking water because no one here has any experience with a site
like this one.
Quarries blast bedrock. Heavy machinery crushes and transports the stone. Vibrations, ground
water seepage and dust from all aspects of the operations are byproducts of running a quarry.
Given a choice, you wouldn't choose to live by one. Residents living near the Sunrock
Woodsdale quarry in Person County have expressed their concerns about life in close proximity
to a quarry. Prospect Hill neighbors won't be given that choice. Person County residents in
Bushy Fork are within a half mile of the proposed quarry. Their wells may be impacted. Finally,
City of Roxboro residents should be concerned. Since this mining will be occurring right next to
waterways, you may not want to live downstream from the mining, either.
Sunrock claims it will be diligent in complying with the requirements for operating its quarry.
However, recently two helicopters were observed spraying herbicide over the quarry land. That
would also include the vegetation within the stream buffers. Buffers don't matter if nothing is
growing there. If those areas were hit, one has to question Sunrock's commitment to stream
protection.
Prospect Hill is a peaceful community with an important watershed running through it. For
now, anyway. Over 200 concerned citizens in that area are working to get DEQ to deny the
Sunrock permit. They could use some help, though. Roxboro elected officials ought to be

Dear Mr Dumpor:
We write as concerned citizens, voters and scientists, having read recently of permit requested by the Sunrock
Group to build a quarry on a 620-acre parcel of land on Wrenn Road in Prospect Hill. We strongly object to the
issuance of this permit because the land that Sunrock proposes to excavate and remove is less than 1,000 feet
from South Hyco Creek, the headwater forming Roxboro Lake. Three tributaries feeding Roxboro Lake literally
crisscross what would be the quarry property. As you know, Roxboro Lake is a secondary water source for
Roxboro and is upstream from waterways affecting other areas. No one can predict with confidence how this
large industrial operation will affect this lake and these streams because there is little -to -no experience with this
type of operation so close to a watershed site like this one.
The recent regulatory change allowing one-time mine permitting was pushed through by the legislature over the
veto of the governor. Many citizens and voters do not support the decreased control and
increased environmental and public health risks that this change entails - we are among them.
Please support the local communities objecting to this permit and honor DEQ's mission of
providing environmental stewardship for the health and prosperity of ALL North Carolinians and DENY THIS
PERMIT.

Dear Mr. Samir Dumpor
As a long time resident of Prospect Hill, NC
I am writing to request that you deny Sunrock the permit for rock quarry and associated plants. On top of living
in Prospect Hill my husband and I recently purchased a piece of property on Roxboro lake which was our
dream. We have dreamed of owning property on this private lake and one day building a home there. My
husband fishes this lake and we see this quarry as a detriment to our dreams and future here in Prospect
Hill. My husband and I have even discussed moving but our question is "Who will want to buy our home that is
only a little over a mile from proposed quarry?"
On top of all that we are extremely concerned about our family's health. We have well water which can be
affected by the quarry not to mention the air quality. I have 2 young children and just the thought of this alone
makes me want to cry.
Please, Please, Please deny the permit to Sunrock! ! I ! I I I I I ! t ! 11 t 1111111111111

Dear Samir,
I'm writing to express my extreme opposition to a proposed mine, cement, and hot mix asphalt plant that
Carolina Sunrock LLC is attempting to build near Prospect Hill in Caswell County, NC. It's my understanding
that The Sunrock Group has applied for a permit from you (N.C. Department of Environmental Quality) to
build this 620-acre quarry.
I grew up a few miles away from the proposed site and have been part of this community my whole life. No
one here wants this. The impact on air quality, the potential of running our wells dry, the increase in heavy truck
traffic, the blasting, and the loss of our historic and agricultural legacy is unacceptable. Not to mention the
longer -term environmental impact - three creeks run through the proposed site and form the headwaters of a
Class 2 drinking reservoir. This is all located in the South Hyco Creek Watershed and the Roanoke River
Basin.
Further, early studies show mercury and asbestos will be byproducts of this project with estimates that it may
affect wells for a 5-mile radius. The quarry offers little more to our community than a small handful of jobs
(like 10), many of which will disappear in the near future as the trucks are equipped with computer controls. No
drivers, no operators, just giant trucks and pollution ruining our community for others' benefit.
We do not need the gravel or asphalt or cement in this area; the demographics make this clear. This mine is just
another instance of industry taking advantage of rural areas that lack the zoning to prevent this kind of predation
and environmental destruction.
We have organized at the local level to address these issues. Everyone here, including the county
commissioners and local representatives are publicly opposed to this project (which apparently and peculiarly
carries little weight when there's a few bucks to be made). So we need your help in protecting our community.
Please stop this short-sighted environmental travesty.

Dear Mr. Dumpor,
My name is Donna Nicholais and my husband and I have an old log home on Goose Creek Road in
Prospect Hill, 1000 ft from the proposed Quarry site. We attended the meeting at the
Yanceyville Courthouse. It was an impressive group of folks with an amazing wealth of
information to present to the NCDEQ!
I know I don't have to go over all of that good information again, you saw and heard it for
yourself, and have written copies of it as well. I do have to say that I was, and still am
disturbed that some of the most obvious concerns of the taxpayers/homeowners/farm
owners, in fact, ALL of the people in the surrounding area, were NOT allowed to be addressed
in reviewing mining permit applications and modifications to existing permits....
1. property values (which will plummet, my house is within the half mile blasting loop)
2. Increased truck traffic ( on country roads, 75 round trips a day!)
3. Operating hours ( Consideration of your neighbors!)
4. Noise ( 120db and up for blasting, constant background noise and smell from machinery
operation)
5. Any other considerations not specifically covered by the mining act (my old log home
cracking, collapsing foundations, broken windows and other structural damage, etc. drinking
water and wells drying up)
All of these things are important and should be considered, not just on a local level but on a
state level as well. They are ALL part of the horrible impact that this Quarry will have on, not
just Prospect Hill, but all of Caswell County and Person County and should be included in the
consideration of the permit along with all of the other issues that have been spoken about and
continue to be spoken about regarding this accident just waiting to happenlll
PLEASE DENY THIS PERMIT for the Sunrock Quarry in Prospect Hill NC!!

I am an extremely concerned North Carolinian.
I am emailing to ask you to deny the permit to Sunrock for the quarry and associated plants
Recently, residents of Caswell County learned that The Sunrock Group has applied for a permit from the N.C.
Department of Environmental Quality to build a quarry on a 620-acre parcel of land on Wrenn Road in Prospect Hill.
Sunrock couldn't have found a worse place to site a quarry operation if it had tried.
The land which Sunrock proposes to dig up and remove is less than 1,000 feet from South Hyco Creek, the
headwater forming Roxboro Lake. Worse, not one, not two, but three tributaries feeding Roxboro Lake literally
crisscross the quarry property.
Why is that important? Roxboro Lake, a Class II drinking water reservoir, serves as the back-up water source for the
more than 5,000 residents of Roxboro. When the main Roxboro reservoir, City Lake, is low, due to little rainfall,
Roxboro residents drink water from Roxboro Lake. They have been drinking Roxboro Lake water since the end of
the summer.
Sunrock maintains it will protect that water supply with buffers around the streams and an erosion control plan. The
problem is Sunrock has no experience mining around streams; its other operations are far from waterways. In fact,
of the more than 100 aggregate stone mines in North Carolina, only one is in a watershed like this one and it doesn't
have any streams near the property. In short, no one can know for sure how this large industrial operation will affect
water relied on by a town for its drinking water because no one here has any experience with a site like this one.
Quarries blast bedrock. Heavy machinery crushes and transports the stone. Vibrations, ground water seepage and
dust from all aspects of the operations are byproducts of running a quarry. Given a choice, you wouldn't choose to
live by one. Residents living near the Sunrock Woodsdale quarry in Person County have expressed their concerns
about life in close proximity to a quarry. Prospect Hill neighbors won't be given that choice. Person County residents
in Bushy Fork are within a half mile of the proposed quarry. Their wells may be impacted. Finally, City of Roxboro
residents should be concerned. Since this mining will be occurring right next to waterways, you may not want to live
downstream from the mining, either.
Sunrock claims it will be diligent in complying with the requirements for operating its quarry. However, recently two
helicopters were observed spraying herbicide over the quarry land. That would probably include the vegetation
within the stream buffers. Buffers don't matter if nothing is growing there. If those areas were hit, one has to
question Sunrock's commitment to stream protection.
Prospect Hill is a peaceful community with an important watershed running through it. For now, anyway. Over 200
concerned citizens in that area are working to get DEQ to deny the Sunrock permit. They could use some help,
though. Roxboro elected officials ought to be diligent in protecting its water supply from the unknown impacts of this
proposed quarry. They should be engaged in the permitting process with DEQ. Many people's lives, especially

DEMLR Washington Regional Office
Washington, North Carolina
Dear Mr. Dumpor:
As a county commissioner in Orange County, I'm writing to lend my voice to the many who oppose the
permitting of the Carolina Sunrock facility. Watershed protection in our region, including Caswell County, is of
utmost importance to the health of our environment and to the health and livelihood of our residents.
This project jeopardizes the water quality of Roxboro Lake, a Class II drinking water reservoir serving as a
critical backup water source for Roxboro. Roxboro residents, in fact, have been drinking Roxboro Lake water
since the end of summer because its principal reservoir, City Lake, has suffered from drought. Given
uncertainties in future weather patterns, this is a situation likely to be recurring.
Sunrock's claims that it will protect the water supply with stream buffers and erosion control measures cannot
be trusted: the company's other operations are far from waterways, and in fact there is only one other aggregate
stone mine in North Carolina in a similar watershed, and it is not near any streams. It's impossible to know what
effect this large-scale operation will have on nearby watersheds. The risk to the public is too serious to take on.
Water polluted from the plant is likely to have a negative impact on farmers in the region whose livelihoods
depend on their profits and whose products contribute to our progress toward a sustainable agricultural region.
Speaking at the hearing on Monday night, Michael Graves, co-founder of the Piedmont Progressive Farmers
Group, made this point very well. At a time when we're welcoming new farmers into our region —young people
who are excited to take part in building up our local/regional food economy --we cannot afford to risk the
substantial environmental and health threats that this asphalt operation would introduce.
In short, as an elected official from a county that stands to be directly as well as indirectly affected by the
harmful impacts of the proposed Sunrock quarry operation, I strongly urge you to deny the permit being
requested.
Sincerely yours,
Sally Greene

In life, there are some moments that define us more than others. For you, this is one of those moments.
While I cannot claim to have your environmental engineering expertise, I imagine that the uproar around Sunrock's mine
rock and asphalt plant have made it apparent that your decision does not merely affect a company and an
environmental resource. It also affects a community, and real people.
I don't know if in your job, you run into these types of life -impacting decisions all the time, or if this is truly unique.
What I do know is that at least in this situation, people are in deep fear for their livelihoods, their land, and their
children. The mental and psychological stress is tremendous, People who would otherwise be sleeping well are
enduring one sleepless night after another, with uncertainty, fear, and a sense of helplessness. I live in Georgia, and I
am hearing about it. The human stress created by Sunrock's plan extends far beyond Caswell County.
So people are feeling helpless. You could be the one to help. You could be their hero.
Imagine yourself looking back on this decision 5 years 10 years, 20 years from now, reviewing the impact of your life.
Would it be better to have simply allowed a company to extract resources for its own profits or to have served others by
saving a community that, as you've seen, cares deeply about its environment and needs a powerful champion. Someone
like you.
When you were in U niverzitet 'Diem a la Bijediae', Mostar, I wonder what inspired you to choose environmental
engineering as your profession. I hope that you were inspired by your career choice, because you could serve mankind
not just by using environmental resources, but also by preserving them. You are in a powerful position to save what
could be saved. I bet you didn't imagine that you could be in such a position. But here you are.
If you feel like your hands are tied by the environmental rules, remember that you know them well. If you would just
ask yourself "How can I use the power of my role to serve this community of people who need my help?", then I believe
you'll find a way to the rules and regulations that help you serve that greater purpose. Perhaps consider the impact on
wetlands and streams, or on culture and archaeologically significant features, the emission of pollutants, or simply the
health of the community.
Be the hero you can be to this community by exercising your power to serve the greater good; not just as an
environmental engineer, but as a human being.

Have the courage to live up to your potential.
You may not get a chance like this again to be the hero you can be. It can be a defining moment for your career and
your life. Make the decision that as a human being, you will be proud of. One that you can tell your children about how
you saved over 200 lives.
I am happy to speak with you further should you wish.
Respectfully,
Nirav Desai

I'm a extremely concerned North Carolinian pleading to you to DENY the permit to Sunrock for the
quarry and associated plants.
Recently, residents of Caswell, Orange, Durham, Person counties. County learned that The Sunrock
Group has applied for a permit from the N.C. Department of Environmental Quality to build a quarry
on a 620-acre parcel of land on Wrenn Road in Prospect Hill. The land which Sunrock proposes to
dig up and remove is less than 1,000 feet from South Hyco Creek, the headwater forming Roxboro
Lake. THREE tributaries feeding Roxboro Lake literally crisscross the quarry property. Roxboro Lake,
a Class II DRINKING water reservoir, serves as the back-up water source for the more than 8,000
residents of Roxboro. When the main Roxboro reservoir, City Lake, is low, due to little rainfall,
Roxboro residents drink water from Roxboro Lake. They have been drinking Roxboro Lake water
since the end of the summer. Sunrock maintains it will protect that water supply with buffers around
the streams and an erosion control plan. Sunrock has no experience mining around streams. Their
other operations are far from waterways. In fact, of the more than 100 aggregate stone mines in North
Carolina, only one is in a watershed like this one and it doesn't have any streams near the property.
In short, no one can know for sure how this large industrial operation will affect water relied on by a
town for its drinking water because no one here has any experience with a site like this one. Quarries
blast bedrock. Heavy machinery crushes and transports the stone. Vibrations, ground water seepage
and dust from all aspects of the operations are byproducts of running a quarry. Given a choice, you
wouldn't choose to live by one. Residents living near the Sunrock Woodsdale quarry in Person
County have expressed their concerns about life in close proximity to a quarry. Prospect Hill
neighbors won't be given that choice. Person County residents in Bushy Fork are within a half mile of
the proposed quarry. Their wells may be impacted. City of Roxboro residents are concerned with this
mining at it will be occurring right next to waterways. Sunrock claims it will be diligent in complying
with the requirements for operating its quarry. However, recently two helicopters were observed
spraying herbicide over the quarry land. That would probably include the vegetation within the stream
buffers. Buffers don't matter if nothing is growing there. If those areas were hit, one has to question
Sunrock's commitment to stream protection.
Concerned citizens in these areas are working to get DEQ to deny the Sunrock permit. Caswell,
Orange, Durham, & Person county elected officials ought to be diligent in protecting its water supply
from the unknown impacts of this proposed quarry. They should be engaged in the permitting process
with DEQ. Many people and wildlife lives will be affected by this decision.
Enjoy your day,
Lisa

Give a hoot!

Dear Mr. Dumpor,
It has come to my attention that Sunrock Mining is to be granted a permit to create an asphalt plant and
quarry in Caswell County, within the watershed of Lake Roxboro. I'm writing to express my wish that the
permit be denied. Roxboro Lake and it's surrounding streams form part of the watershed for water in a
number of towns and cities within a 50 mile radius. We pollute our ground water at our own folly. We cannot
get this genie back in the bottle.
Thank you for your attention,
Diane Rodelli

Dear Sir or Madam,
I've been a North Carolina resident for for 33 of the last 36 years and hope to stay here until I die.
I understand that the Sunrock Group has applied for a permit from your department, N.C. Dept of
Environmental Quality, to build a quarry on a 620 acre parcel of land on Wrenn Road in Prospect Hill.
I further understand this site is less than 1,000 feet from South Hyco Creek, the headwater forming Roxboro
Lake ..... and three pristine streams that feed Roxboro Lake cross this property.
I am extremely concerned about the water quality and environmental quality if the permit is approved.
Roxboro Lake is the back-up water source for 8,000 residents of Roxboro.
Sunrock has NO experience mining around streams. NO ONE knows for sure how this large industrial
operation will affect water quality.... not only for the Town of Roxboro but also folks in Prospect Hill and Bushy
Fork whose wells may be impacted.
And the toxic waste that may ruin so many streams?
And what about the elementary school a few miles away?
And the effect on farmland in the area?
Some of the area farmers supply markets in Hillsborough and Chapel Hill -- so the hazardous health effects go
far beyond the area around the proposed site.
Please, please be a good steward of our earth, and stand up for clean, safe drinking water, and DENY the
permit to Sunrock Group for their proposed quarry / asphalt plants in Prospect Hill.
With thanks from a very concerned citizen,
Emily Agee

From a concerned North Carolina resident:
We, the people of this region. implore you to deny this permit that will impact the lives of so many communities. In a drought
ridden
state• preserving clean drinking water should be top of the DEQ priority list.
The land which Sunrock proposes to dig up and remove is less than 1,000 feet from South Hyco Creek, the headwater forming
Roxboro Lake. Worse, not one, not two, but three tributaries feeding Roxboro Lake literally crisscross the quarry property.
Why is that important? Roxboro Lake, a Class 11 drinking water reservoir, serves as the back-up water source for the more than
8.000 residents of Roxboro. When the main Roxboro reservoir, City Lake, is low, due to little rainfall, Roxboro residents drink
water from Roxboro Lake. Thev have been drinking Roxboro Lake water since the end of the summerr.

Dear Mr. Dumpor and the staff of the NC DEC,
I recently learned of the Carolina Sunrock's proposal for a 630-acre quarry on the borders of Caswell, Orange,
and Person County. Given the close proximity of this site to existing high -quality drinking water sources
classified as "WS-II, High Quality Waters" by the state, the quarry will have and "unduly adverse effects on
potable groundwater supplies, wildlife, or fresh water". In addition, the company's plan to store up to 192,000
gallons of used oil, fuel and other chemicals in 14 tanks on the property represents a "direct and substantial
physical hazard to public health and safety".
Furthermore, the NC Division of Engineering, Mining, and Land Resources has previously issued Notices of
Violation to Carolina Sunrock's Kittrell facility, which does not inspire confidence in their commitment to
environmental stewardship. The company's plan to install 100-foot buffers does not address the negative
impacts of quarrying on groundwater, and may be inadequate to adequately protect surface waters as well.
As a concerned NC citizen with ties to the Prospect Hill region, I call on the NCDEQto deny the permit for this
quarry and associated plants to Sunrock. Based on the available evidence, this quarry is inconsistent with the
NCDEQ's mission to provide "environmental stewardship for the health and prosperity of ALL North
Carolinians" and therefore should not be approved.
Thank you for your time.
Sincerely,
Katherine Hale
