Glenwood Hot Springs Protection Act

This bill, titled the Glenwood Hot Springs Protection Act , aims to prevent the expansion of the Mid-Continent Limestone Quarry located near Glenwood Springs, Colorado. It specifically prohibits the Secretary of the Interior from approving any applications for the expansion of existing limestone mineral operations on land managed by the Bureau of Land Management. The legislation targets a precisely defined geographic area within Garfield County, Colorado, to halt further growth of these extraction activities. The prohibition extends to applications for mineral operations under general mining laws, as well as mineral material sales contracts or applications under the Materials Act of 1947 and the Surface Resources Act of 1955 . This measure is designed to protect the designated region from increased industrial development associated with quarry expansion by restricting federal approval processes.
