A controversial quarry proposed in Parleys Canyon is fueling tensions between lawmakers and Salt Lake County officials over how to regulate aggregate extraction, an industry that's taking a toll on the views and airsheds along the Wasatch Front.
Local officials file objections, blasting loopholes allowing Granite Construction to evade public participation in controversial project
By darkening the snowpack, dust deposits make it melt sooner, so less water is available when water needs are at their highest in the summer. On June 16, the day after Granite filed its small-mine notice, Baza and Chris Hansen, who chairs the Board of Oil, Gas and Mining, were called before the Legislature’s Administrative Rules Review and General Oversight Committee and endured a lecture on the limits of the agency’s authority.
“How in the world, if you don’t know the scope of the mine, could DEQ or any other agency approve an application that doesn’t have the scope defined, but that approval is required before that scope could be defined or approved?” Bramble posed. “How could that ever be complied with?” Millcreek’s concerns have mostly to do with dust that would likely blow into neighborhoods at the mouth of the canyon.
In a declaration filed Tuesday, Deputy County Mayor Catherine Kanter said Granite and Tree Farm must comply with the county’s land use and other relevant ordinances, and they have yet to file any applications regarding the mine.
