More DetailsThe most obvious environmental impact from aggregate, stone, and industrial mineral mines is degraded air quality, and associated health effects, resulting from airborne emissions from both the stack and the disturbed areas at these mines. In an arid landscape like New Mexico, the impacts of such mines on surface and groundwater quality is not likely to be significant. However, these mines should be viewed as a first step in development, whether it is highway, residential, or general construction. When one tracks a truck load of sand and gravel from its excavation, through loading and hauling, and to its ultimate use as either fill dirt, base course, cement, or some other construction use, it becomes clear that the environmental impacts of sand and gravel mining are widespread and cumulative. Below is a partial list of the potential cumulative impacts from the development of a typical sand and gravel mine:
