A bill to prohibit the Secretary of the Interior from taking any action to expand the Mid-Continent Limestone Quarry located near Glenwood Springs, Colorado.
Key claim: Senate bill S5101 would prohibit the Secretary of the Interior from taking any action to expand the Mid-Continent Limestone Quarry near Glenwood Springs, Colorado.
Abstract
(S5101 · 119th Congress) Latest action (2026-07-23): Read twice and referred to the Committee on Energy and Natural Resources.
Why this matters
Site-specific federal land-use prohibitions like S5101 constrain Interior’s discretion over a single quarry, affecting local land use around Glenwood Springs without establishing a broader policy mechanism. For builders and extractive operators the effect is a hard statutory ceiling on expansion at this site; for nearby residents it locks in the current footprint, with no direct impact on renters or buyers elsewhere.
