What is the DEP Plan?

Over the last NINE years many people have moved into the New Hanover area. They might not have been at the quarry meetings when we had 250-300 people in the New Hanover Jr. High East auditorium.  They may not even know about the quarry!

Ask your neighbors if they have ever signed our petition against the quarry---if they (or you) haven't, please sign the 2009 Online Petition.
