DetailsAbstract Mining of gravel for construction aggregate in California is regulated under the concept of 'reclamation', borrowed from open‐pit coal mines, which are recontoured and returned to productive use (such as agriculture) after mine closure. The concept works for dry terrace pits and can be adapted to creation of wildlife habitat in wet terrace pits.

DetailsSand-and-gravel mining in stream channels and mining of sand in the active sand dunes or beach can damage structures built in the coastal areas and river bank by counter effect. Several studies have documented the bed degradation caused by the two general forms of instream mining, viz. pit excavation and bar skimming.
DetailsOf 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).
