This bill prohibits the Secretary of the Interior from approving any expansion of the Mid-Continent Limestone Quarry near Glenwood Springs, Colorado. The legislation blocks the federal government from processing applications to expand existing mining operations or mineral sales on specific parcels of Bureau of Land Management land in Garfield County. The bill affects mining companies seeking to expand limestone extraction activities in the region and protects the area from increased quarrying operations. No new funding is allocated by this legislation, as it simply restricts future federal actions rather than establishing new programs. The bill was introduced in July 2026 and referred to the House Committee on Natural Resources for consideration.
