BLM deals “big setback” to plan for massive expansion of a limestone quarry above Glenwood Springs ...Middle East

Colorado Sun - News

The Bureau of Land Management has concluded there is nothing particularly special about the limestone being mined at the Mid-Continent Limestone Quarry a mile above Glenwood Springs. The decision could end a controversial plan by the politically connected mine owner to expand the quarry to 320 acres from about 16 acres. Rocky Mountain Industrials, which acquired the mine in 2016, is seeking BLM approval to expand the mine, arguing the expanded operation would allow it to mine more high-value, chemical-grade limestone and dolomite. Those are “locatable minerals” under the 1872 Mining Law, which would allow the mining company to proceed with the expansion while paying lower royalty rates
