In case you missed it! The recording of our podcast and video interview with The Triangle Talk Show is now available. 

We talked about:

• The RDU Quarry Public Hearing on June 23 — this may be one of the last public comment opportunities to stop the quarry
• The Sunset Clause that was removed from the current Wake Stone mining permit, which would've closed the existing Triangle Quarry in 2031
• The Conservation Fund's offer to purchase the land to add new single-track biking and pedestrian trails
• Environmental and wildlife impacts including air and water quality degradation
• The RDU Fence that will cross Halley's Branch and run along the East Coast Greenway and Umstead State Park's multi-use trail
• How this quarry is more than just a local Triangle issue, but one that affects all of North Carolina and sets a new precedent for how public lands are handled in the state
