Developers for Douglas Mountain Ranch have informed state officials that they're withdrawing their application for a state mining permit.
Last year, Douglas Mountain Ranch project stakeholders submitted a revised application to the Colorado Division of Reclamation, Mining and Safety with the intention of completing the state process first and then amending its zoning application with Clear Creek County.
The proposed quarry was planning to remove 10 million to 15 million tons of rocks and gravel from a plateau area south of Empire during the course of 20 years and then have a reservoir on site to store water.
