Quarries for mining limestone, dolomite, sandstone, and hard rock (granite and quartzite) are found in 34 counties. A 1990 DNR Minerals inventory found 165 active operations, 88% of which were limestone quarries (Nelson and others, 1990). That same inventory counted 1,367 inactive operations, 70% of which were limestone quarries.
