The County Council proposes a change in its ordinance to block new rock mines and quarries in the canyons.
Salt Lake County leaders took action Friday that may end up blocking a limestone quarry planned for Parleys Canyon.
The County Council met in a special meeting Friday morning solely to kick off a legislative process intending to stop any new attempt to mine sand, gravel or rock out of the Wasatch canyons and foothills just east of Salt Lake City.
