Glenwood Hot Springs Protection Act

This bill would bar the Secretary of the Interior from processing or approving applications to expand existing limestone mining operations on certain federal land near Glenwood Springs, Colorado. The ban covers land managed by the Bureau of Land Management that lies wholly or partly within specific sections of land in Garfield County, Colorado. It applies to expansions of operations on mining or mill site claims under the general mining laws, and to limestone sales contracts or applications under two federal laws, the Materials Act of 1947 and the Surface Resources Act of 1955.
