The UT contains regulated quarry/minor-mineral areas, river/estuary sediment, coastal beaches, tourism sites and other public/private land. Verify current land status, mineral rights, coastal/forest/environment restrictions and site-specific authority before removing basalt, limestone, sand, gravel, shells, clay or other material.
