Reporter – Any bills you’re considering on vetoing at this point?

The proposed 20-acre limestone quarry in Parleys Canyon has raised concerns among residents and conservation groups over potential health risks and environmental impact. The quarry aims to become a 600-plus-acre project, but there are significant concerns that must be addressed before moving forward.
The bill would apply to the open-pit limestone mine proposed for Parleys Canyon that has been opposed by Salt Lake County.
More than 26,800 Utahns signed a petition last spring opposing a new 635-acre open pit limestone quarry in Parley’s Canyon. But despite that widespread opposition, Rep. Kevin Stratton of Orem is now sponsoring HB 527, which would allow the project to not only bypass Salt Lake County’s land use authority but massively expand the acreage in Parleys Canyon that would similarly be subject to long-term mining activity and the permanent scarring that would result.
We’re a collaboration of individuals and organizations dedicated to saving Parleys Canyon from destructive development and exploitation, now and forever.
We have been fortunate to partner with Save Our Canyons and we thank them for assisting us with our email list, donations, and petition.
