What is sand and gravel mining?
The industry of aggregate production, or sand and gravel mining, involves excavating loose alluvial material from the river bed or its banks, sorting and grading the material, and hauling it in trucks away from the site. The Flood Control District is primarily concerned with regulating the aggregate extraction activities within delineated floodplains and floodways.
