The Summit County Council is moving to revoke the conditional use permit for Spoil to Soil's recycling facility and tree farm in Browns Canyon.

A final vote has been delayed at least three weeks after the county's legal counsel recommended a closed session, the Park Record reported Tuesday, Sept. 8. The revocation item appeared on the council's Wednesday, Sept. 2 agenda for the facility at 7550 W. Lower Bowl Road, listed under business owner Kylee Mimbach.

The permit covers a Class II recycling facility and nursery/greenhouse on property owned by Troy Long Enterprises Inc. Attorney Kyle Reeder of Cannon Law Group represented the property owner. County Senior Planner Amir Caus, Code Enforcement Officer Scott Buchanan and Deputy County Attorney Helen Strachan presented the item. A July 2026 Notice to Show Cause was among the exhibits.

The dispute stretches back more than a year. Summit County shut down the Browns Canyon composting facility in 2025 over alleged permit violations. Those alleged violations included accepting nonpermitted materials such as snow, plastic and metal; processing soils; operating after hours; incorrect site layout; and failing to submit required paperwork, according to KPCW.

Regulators gave Spoil to Soil until April 15 to fix the cited problems and reapply. The company missed that deadline. Caus told KPCW that staff documented additional unfixed issues during an April 16 site visit.

Spoil to Soil has fought the county in court twice. The company filed a lawsuit in November 2025 accusing the county of treating the facility as a landfill, the Park Record reported. That case died in March 2026 because the company never served the county, according to KPCW. A judge also declined to grant a temporary restraining order in March 2026, ruling the facility could not operate. A second lawsuit filed April 15 sought another restraining order so the business could resume operations. The outcome of that case is unclear.

Jared Clayton, a property representative for Spoil to Soil, struck a conciliatory tone at a February 2026 council meeting. "Our intention is to work with the county," Clayton said at the time. "We were never, like, 'Let's go to court and do this,' but we had to reserve our rights."

Before the shutdown, Spoil to Soil served customers across Summit County, KPCW reported. Organizations like the Park City Community Foundation now send compost to the Salt Lake City area instead.

No specific date for the final revocation vote has been announced. The three-week delay from the Sept. 8 report puts the earliest possible action in late September.
