Resident reads county appeal letter, urges turnout for Wasatch County hearing on Maverick Rock
Summary
Stephanie Grady read a letter reporting Wasatch County has appealed a decision that allowed Maverick Rock to move into Daniels Canyon and urged residents to attend a June/July hearing; she highlighted proximity of a Daniel town wellhead and raised water-quality and environmental concerns.
During the public comment period, Stephanie Grady (who identified herself as "Danville Town Council") read a letter summarizing recent county action and a media interview about Maverick Rock’s proposed expansion into Daniels Canyon.
Grady said Wasatch County has asked a court to toss out its approval and that the county filed a challenge with the Utah Court of Appeals on June 10. She said Maverick Rock has submitted an operations plan and that the county expects to hold another public hearing before the end of July (a date discussed informally in the transcript as July 1). Grady urged residents to attend the county hearing and said Daniel has a wellhead adjacent to the proposed site that provides drinking water to the town, raising concerns about contamination or dewatering if mining proceeds.
Grady said she had contacted the county and the state and had not yet received substantive responses; she offered to collect emails from nearby residents and keep them updated about hearing times. The commission did not take formal action on the comment but acknowledged the concerns and noted the county process and potential appeals are separate from the town’s land‑use review.
