Excessive instream sand-and-gravel mining causes the degradation of rivers. Instream mining lowers the stream bottom, which may lead to bank erosion. Depletion of sand in the streambed and along coastal areas causes the deepening of rivers and estuaries, and …

This paper examines the effects of gravel mining on the suspended sediment transport in the Upper River Cinca (Central Pyrenees). Discharge, sediment transport and sediment grain-size distribution were measured, sampled and further determined in five monitoring sections along a 5-km river reach.

The most important effects of instream sand mining on aquatic habitats are bed degradation and sedimentation, which can have substantial negative effects on aquatic life. The stability of sand-bed and gravel-bed streams depends on a delicate balance between streamflow, sediment supplied from the watershed, and channel form.

Instream gravel mining involves the mechanical removal of gravel and sand directly from the active channel of rivers and streams. Active channel deposits are desirable as construction aggregate because they are typically durable (weak materials having been eliminated in river transport), well-sorted, and frequently located near markets ...

Keywords: Assessment, Impacts, Gravel mining, Sand mining, Environment. 1. Introduction Sand and gravel mining refers to the actual process of removal of sand or gravel from a place of their occurrence (Langer, 2003). The places of sand and gravel occurrence are oceans, rivers, streams, flood plains or hills and mountains.

Soon after this, when gravel mining deepened the channel, less floodwaters were forced into the flood plain because the channel held more water. The combination of all these effects increased the water speed and were felt immediately downstream from the mined area, but as the erosion extended further downstream, the same impacts were repeated ...

Of the studies reporting the type of mining, most focused on instream mining. Eight focused on the impacts of dry mining (removal of material from an exposed area above the water table, such as on a floodplain), with only two addressing bar skimming (removal of sand and gravel from the surface of exposed river bars).

Abstract Instream gravel mining involves the mechanical removal of gravel and sand directly from the active channel of rivers and streams. Active channel deposits are desirable as construction aggregate because they are typically durable (weak materials having been eliminated in river transport), well-sorted, and frequently located near markets or on transportation routes.

gravel mining resulted in the de-stabilization of the channel with a commensurate increase in property loss and aesthetic and habitat degradation in both the mined reach and reaches upstream and downstream of the zone of mining. The type of mining also had a bearing on the degree of morphological impact. The stripping of gravel bars had

Sand and gravel are widely used throughout the U.S. construction industry, but their extraction can significantly affect the physical, chemical, and biological characteristics of mined streams. Fisheries biologists often find themselves involved in the complex environmental and regulatory issues related to instream sand and gravel mining.

Instream gravel mining is one of the most important causes of channel degradation in South America, specifically in rivers located near large metropolitan areas with rapidly growing cities, where no river management strategies exist. In the western region of the continent, many of these rivers belong to Andean systems, in which significant parts of the watersheds are located in mountain areas ...

Sand-and-gravel mining in stream channels can damage public and private property. Channel incision caused by gravel mining can undermine bridge piers and expose buried pipelines and other infrastructure. Several studies have documented the bed degradation caused by the two general forms of instream mining: (1) pit excavation and (2) bar skimming.

Commercial Gravel Mining. The department permits about 200 in-stream sites, annually. Numerous commercial mining operators across the state excavate sand and gravel deposits, commonly known as gravel bars, as a source of aggregate material. Questions about permitting should be directed to the department's Land Reclamation Program at 573-751-4041.
