  • Significantly increased industrial activity will dramatically increase the risk of wildfires.

  • The Parleys Canyon wildfire in 2021 (caused by sparks from one car’s catalytic converter) highlights the area’s wildfire risk.

  • There is limited phone service for emergency alerts and only one road out of MountAir community which consists of around 100 homes, all within ½ mile of the proposed quarry site.  If a fire were to occur and spread rapidly, residents could be trapped in the canyon.
