Umstead State Park Wins: Quarry's Sunset Clause Restored
Update: 2025-12-22
Description
A Wake County judges ruling marks the end of a decades-long controversy surrounding a stone quarry near William B. Umstead State Park. The quarry, operated by Wake Stone Corporation since 1981, was set to close by the end of 2031 due to a sunset clause in its permit. However, a minor change in 2018 pushed back the deadline indefinitely. The North Carolina Department of Environmental Quality has decided not to challenge the recent ruling, restoring the original clause and ensuring the parks protection. The quarrys future plans, including expansion onto nearby airport land, remain uncertain. Checkout Solipillow.com
