September 9, 2022 - There are two trials at the end of September related to the RDU Quarry mining permit appeal (and one for Crabtree Creek Bridge in October). Read our update on RDU Quarry, Crabtree Creek Bridge and the Sunset Clause>>

On February 17, 2022, NC DEQ denied the mining permit for RDU Quarry, but Wake Stone Corporation filed an appeal on March 14, 2022. We are confident that the proposed quarry operations on public lands immediately adjacent to State protected recreational lands will not happen, but Wake Stone has chosen pursue this folly. So, we fight on.
