Permit request being filed for 2 granite quarries in Chatham County

Subject: Granite Quarry

We have been notified of a permit request being filed for 2 granite quarries. They are located off Rives Chapel Church Road and McLaurin Road; the total acreage is over 200! One border of the area is Tick Creek. Because this area is unzoned, the County has no authority over use. My understanding is that the State will make the final decision to issue the mining permit.. Does anyone have any advice or help regarding how best to stop this disastrous use of so many of our beautiful Chatham acres?
