  • Mapping Sand and Gravel Mining Within the Presumpscot River Watershed, Maine, Using Remote Sensing and Other Digital Data in a G.I.S
    MAPPING SAND AND GRAVEL MINING WITHIN THE PRESUMPSCOT RIVER WATERSHED, MAINE, USING REMOTE SENSING AND OTHER DIGITAL DATA IN A G.I.S. ENVIRONMENT Chris Jones, Justin Rich, Irwin D. Novak Department of Geosciences University of Southern Maine Gorham, Maine August, 2006 ABSTRACT The growth of gravel mining sites from 1998 to 2001 within the Presumpscot River watershed of southern Maine has been documented using ArcGIS software, Ortho- rectified Digital Images (ODIs) and digital surface water, road, watershed, town boundary and tax map data. Maine Department of Environmental Protection licensed site locations of 5 acres or more were added as a geo-referenced layer to aid in tracing and interpreting gravel pit boundaries. The growth of the pits was calculated by hand digitizing the outlines of areas in which the surface soils have been disturbed in order to expose extractable materials as shown on 1998 ODIs. These areas were compared with the pit outlines shown on the 2001 ODIs and satellite images (2004). The total area of all licensed and non-licensed pits within the watershed was 461.49 acres in 1998 and grew to 653.24 acres in 2004, a 47% increase. There was an increase of 49 acres, from 117.49 acres to 161.29 acres for the 34 licensed sites from 1998 to 2004 a 37% increase. The average growth was 3.8 acres per pit. More detailed analysis in the Town of Gorham, Maine, reveals that 18% of the watershed falls within Gorham and that there are 21 licensed mines. This is the second largest area of coverage after Windham, Maine, which has 22% of the watershed within its boundaries, but only 13 pits.

  • Gravel Roads Construction and Maintenance Guide Table of Contents Subject Page
    Errata ­ Replaces page 137 Reconstruction Using a Detour When the reconstruction and resulting berm are significant, the work space takes all or most of the road surface, leaving no room for traffic to negotiate past the work activities. An agency may need to reconstruct the unpaved roadway by correcting the drainage and/or adding surface materials. With this type of work, additional equipment may be used and a large amount of material may create a large berm (12 inches or more across). This will present significant hazards for the traveling public. To improve safety for mo­ torists and workers, a detour may be the best TTC. Not all road users will be familiar with the local road system and some may be confused by the road closure, so signing should be used to assist users negotiating the detour. Reconstruction work space. (Source: Greg Vavra, SDLTAP). Notes: 1. Not all local agencies use route makers for their system. MUTCD Section 6F.59 states “A Street Name sign should be placed above, or the street name should be incorporated into, a DETOUR (M4­9) sign to indicate the name of the street being detoured.” 2. With an increase in traffic at the intersections where the detour begins and ends, a review of the usage of the STOP and YIELD signs should be completed. 3. Flashing warning lights and/or flags may be used to call attention to advance warning signs. 4. Flashing warning lights may be used on the Type 3 Barricades, which should be installed at the point where the road is closed.

  • A Review of the Effect of Floodplain Gravel Mining on River Stability
    7th Australian Stream Management Conference - Full Paper A review of the effect of floodplain gravel mining on river stability 1 2 Anthony R. Ladson , Dean A. Judd 1. Moroka Pty Ltd, P.O. Box 1245 Fitzroy North, Vic 3068. Email: [email protected] 2. Goulburn Broken Catchment Management Authority, P.O. Box 1752, Shepparton Vic 3630. Email: [email protected] Key Points • A large amount of aggregate is used in advanced economies such as Australia; 6 to 12 tonnes per person per year. Some of this aggregate is supplied from floodplain mining • Floodplain gravel mining is seen to be safer than direct extraction of gravel from rivers but there remain substantial threats to river stability • A literature review found 37 examples where rivers had broken into gravel mines and the resulting river response had led to bed and bank erosion and threats to infrastructure. • Appropriate locations for, and active management of, floodplain gravel mines is required to reduce threats to acceptable levels and ensure the sustainability of mines Abstract Floodplain gravel mining can cause change in the riverine environment, both locally and distant to the mining site, and in the short and long term. Immediate effects of mining include loss of land and vegetation and other impacts such as noise, dust and vibration. Gravel mining may affect flood hydraulics. During floods, gravel pits provide an area of increased conveyance to flow and often a shortened flow path for floodwaters. This can result in high velocities and scour. Erosional processes associated with floodplain pits can result in river channel changes where the river diverts into, and through, gravel mines.

  • Hydraulic Impacts of Quarries and Gravel Pits
    Hydraulic Impacts of Quarries and Gravel Pits Prepared by J.A. Green, J.A. Pavlish, R.G. Merritt, and J.L. Leete Minnesota Department of Natural Resources, Division of Waters for the Legislative Commission on Minnesota Resources funded by the Minnesota Environment and Natural Resources Trust Fund 2005 Hydraulic Impacts of Quarries and Gravel Pits Executive Summary 1 2 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Natural aggregate (crushed stone, sand, and gravel) is a vital part of our economic infrastructure in Minnesota. Aggregate is used for road and bridge construction and in a variety of building materials. In 2003, the value of construction sand and gravel and crushed stone in Minnesota was approximately $245,000,000. As Minnesota’s economy continues to expand, the demand for aggregate will continue to grow. Sand and gravel pits are located in every county in Minnesota. In 1990, the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources, Division of Minerals (DNR Minerals), estimated the number of active and inactive operations at 1500 with the view that this number was likely too low (Dennis Martin, pers. comm.). 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.
