This proposed 600 plus acre mine, on the flanks of Grandeur Peak and Mt. Aire, would leave the Wasatch Mountains permanently scarred. Join us to prevent this proposed mine that would negatively impact all those who live and visit. #saveparleys https://t.co/HbgLY2VaDF #Utah#utpol
"..the suggestion of destroying more of Parleys Canyon to mine common gravel is unthinkable. But leave it up to multi-billion dollar California corporation, Granite Construction & Parleys property owner, Jesse Lassley, to make it very much thinkable." https://t.co/yX4SzQjABS

“We definitely should be worried about it,” Carling said. “It’s affecting the particulate matter in the air we breathe every day. And a lot of the particulate matter contains fine particles that go deep in your lungs.” #utpol#utgov https://t.co/6rIw4hfOdF via @sltrib

Our partners @SaveOurCanyons, Carl Fisher, recently did an interview in @UtahStories about the proposed gravel pit. You can read it here: https://t.co/8gViPRb5Q4
"Without informing neighboring property owners, the county or residents of nearby Mt. Aire, UDOT on Oct. 31 issued Granite an “encroachment permit”...The plan would block access to land used by Mt. Aire Canyon homeowners" #utpol https://t.co/Jd5qCZtit5

We owe it to our children and grandchildren to preserve our canyons for both recreation and public health.
