Hanson Sand Mining

Hanson Sand Mining

Hanson Marine Operations and Suisun Associates have applied for renewed leases and related permits that would allow them to continue mining sand for 10 years following the end of the regular 10-year term that ends in June, 2008. Mining occurs in Central San Francisco Bay, Middle Ground Shoal and within the navigation channels of Suisun Bay. The purpose of this sand mining is to obtain marine aggregate, which is primarily used for construction purposes within the greater San Francisco Bay Area.
