What pollution (air, <br />water, groundwater, thermal, noise, etc.) will the plant <br />produce? What is the danger of a toxic or chemical spill from <br />the plant? What implications for limiting future alternative <br />uses of my land will the relocated plant have? I have <br />requested that American Stone consider rebuilding the asphalt <br />plant at the existing site or north of the existing site, but <br />have received no reply. What other alternatives exist for <br />American Stone's quarry and for OWASA`s water storage facility? <br />2. Effects of relocated Bethel Church Road S.R. 1104)? How <br />does relocated S.R. 1104 fit into the County's Master Road <br />Plan? What are the implications of locating the road adjacent <br />to a feeder stream of University Lake? When I clearcut my land <br />in 1982, I left a stream buffer of existing trees and <br />vegetation along this stream. Will the relocated road nullify <br />the effects of this buffer? In addition to the Broadwell Road <br />and'American Stone Company's proposed routes, what other <br />alternatives have been explored for relocating S.R. 1104? What <br />a re :the implications of leaving S.R. 1104 where it is? <br />Yours trul , <br />Ro gex- : . I1Ux Siam, L. S. <br />c: R. Paxton Badham, Jr. <br />
