Sand and gravel are crucial resources to economic development activities, such as road building and concrete production. Construction of one mile of four-lane interstate highway requires 85,000 tons of aggregate; the average six room house requires 90 tons. "Aggregate" is any of several hard inert materials (as sand, gravel, or slag) used for mixing with a cementing material to form concrete, mortar, or plaster.
