Forested recreation in the heart of the Triangle 

What You Can Do

Our voices matter. We can stop RDU Quarry. 

Wake Stone Quarry, Cary, NC

1. Contact Governor Cooper, Elected Officials, and State Agencies

The current Wake Stone quarry adjacent to Umstead State Park had their original Mining Permit 92‐10 approved in 1981 with a 50-year Sunset Clause. After 50 years, in 2031, Wake Stone was to donate the land to the State and all mining operations would cease. The Sunset Clause — promised to Umstead State Parks and the public and agreed to by Wake Stone Corporation — needs to be reinstated.  NC State Parks has asked Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) to give them back the Sunset Clause.  Please ask Governor Cooper to reinstate the Sunset Clause and tell NC Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) to deny the mining permit application for RDU Quarry. Tell your local officials to help protect our public lands. To help you submit your comments, we've created a form so you can send your comments to all the agencies and elected officials. Learn more and submit your comments now>>
