Dear Mr. Derrick,

I oppose your plan to sell 1,300 acres of Nanjemoy wilderness to be used for a surface mine. The mine will cause irreparable damage to:
  • bass fisheries;
  • 57 million year old fossils unique to North America;
  • the habitat of rare plants, animals, and birds;
  • the critical area zone through major construction, stockpiling, and continual disruption;
  • wetlands through the placement and construction of the conveyor belt system and load out basin;
  • the existing peaceful surrounding through excessive noise and dust.

Please be a responsible steward of our environment. Protect this unique property by supporting its use as a public park.

Sincerely,
