I strongly oppose the quarry rail proposed to run across our family property between Burnet Co. and Lampasas Co. Our family owns approx. 130 acres on both ends of this proposed rail line and both properties would cause so many problems to include, not having access to the property, the air and noise pollution, the inability to utilize the property for farming, ranching and the solitude that is the beauty of both of these properties. Sulfur Creek is a year round flowing water source for numerous wildlife from fish, cranes, blue heron, frogs, ducks, deer, turkeys, elk and many more species. One of these properties also has been studied and proven to have archeological artifacts in the evidence of arrowheads and middens used by Native Americans dating back 10,000 years. This property is truly priceless and cannot be replaced. Lampasas county is also home to several natural springs that come from Sulfur Creek. This community is known for its natural springs including a free flow spring fed swimming pool and the annual Spring Ho festival that honors these springs. Please strongly consider the wildlife and nature that will be disrupted by an open quarry rail line. Thank you for your time and attention to this urgent matter.
