MANAGEMENT
- Excavation of sand deposits should be limited to unconsolidated areas containing
primarily loosely packed material.
-
The excavated material should not contain any woody perennial vegetation greater than
1-in diameter.
-
A 20-ft wide undisturbed buffer should be maintained between the removal area and the water
line at the time of excavation, and between the removal area and adjacent bank
(Fig. 1).
-
A 25-ft wide riparian corridor should be maintained
landward of the high bank for the length of the sandmining site.
- Sand should not be excavated below the water table at the
time of removal (Fig. 2).
-
If the stream is dry, the excavation must not proceed beyond
the lowest undisturbed elevation of the stream bottom.
-
Established water conveyance channels should not be relocated, straightened, or modified.
