Prince George's County Planning Department, conducted this study in response to an inquiry by the
Prince George's County Council on the status of the sand and gravel extraction industry and
opportunities for adaptive reuse of closed sand and gravel mines. This report reflects information
collected in literature searches, a geographic information system (GIS) survey of sand and gravel
extraction sites, site visits to operating and closed sand and gravel mines, and interviews of
state, County, and mining industry officials. This study describes sand and gravel mining in Prince
George's County and its impacts, and makes recommendations for its future, including how closed
sand and gravel mines may be reused.
