Q � h to us. His conclusions were that the cracks were the results of the house being built on fill material. Mr. Belon's house is built into the side of a hill. In order to create a level space for construction the hill was notched out and the dirt placed in the front of the notched out area. The cracks are located in the front where the fill material was placed. We also hired an independent well drilling company to analyze Mr. Belon's complaints about his well. Their conclusion was that the tank bladder was ruptured, an occurrence that has absolutely nothing to do with our quarry or vibrations. Both of these inspections were done at our expense. On November 14th, 1991 we met with Mr. Alfred Perry, Mr. Melvin Parrish, again with Mr. Belon, and with Dexter Rogers. Seismographs were placed at Mr. Perry's trailer park and at Mr. Parrish's home. Again the readings showed that we were well within state limits for vibration and noise. At the November 14th session we also entertained members of the Carrboro Town Council. On November 21st, 1991 members of the Chapel Hill Town Council came out to view a shot and tour the quarry. On April 20th, 1992 (following a Roses and Raspberries article) we took the editor of the Chapel Hill newspaper out to the quarry to explain the project to him and show him around. On March 23rd, 1994 we invited Mrs. Dan Valero and others to the quarry to see a shot and view the operation. Mrs. Valero cancelled the morning of the 23rd. Mr. Allen Spault was invited to this session but was unable to attend. It will be our pleasure to conduct additional tours for other interested parties. We are proud of our operation and welcome the opportunity to explain it to people who have concerns or interest. If we can be of further service along these lines please do not hesitate to contact us. Sincerely, R. Paxton Badham, Jr. RPB,Jr./lmm
