This report addresses physical channel issues related to instream gravel mining on the Umpqua River and its two primary tributaries, the North and South Umpqua Rivers. This analysis constitutes a "Phase I" investigation, as designated by an interagency team cochaired by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Portland District, and the Oregon …
Rivers, the most important life sustaining systems in tropics and subtropics, are under immense pressure due to various kinds of human interventions. Among these, indiscriminate sand and gravel mining from the active channels and floodplains are the most disastrous one as the activity threatens the very existence of the river ecosystem. …
This Gravel Guidance document addresses three types of instream gravel mining, described as dry-pit and wet-pit mining in the active channel, and bar skimming (or "scalping") (Kondolf 1993, 1994a, 1997, 1998a). Dry-pit refers to excavation on dry ephemeral stream beds and exposed bars with conventional bulldozers, scrapers, and …
Sediment mining in rivers may have a major impact on river geomorphology and research is required to quantify these impacts. In this research, experimental studies were conducted to analyse the morphological changes of channel bed and the turbulent characteristics of flow in the presence of mining. The channel bed profile shows erosion …
Instream gravel mining is one of the most important causes of channel degradation in South America, specifically in rivers located near large metropolitan areas with rapidly growing cities, where ...

Instream mining can be managed by adopting any one of the four alternatives mentioned in the schematic model: (1) no mining in channels or floodplains, …
The effects of mining will be especially severe and difficult to reverse: (i) where material is extracted at a rate greatly exceeding the replenishment rate; (ii) in single-thread rivers, that are generally associated with relatively low rates of catchment sediment supply; (iii) in channelized reaches; (iv) where rivers are underlain by a thin ...
Floodplain gravel pits have the potential to become wildlife habitat upon reclamation, but may be captured by the active channel and thereby become instream pits. Management of sand and gravel in rivers must be done on a regional basis, restoring the continuity of sediment transport where possible and encouraging alternatives to river …

Gravel mining Lidar surveys Morphological modeling 66.1 Introduction Sediment mining produces a large variety of physical, eco-logical, and environmental effects in alluvial rivers. From a morphological point of view, instream gravel mining alters the preexisting channel morphology and a local sediment deficit is produced (Rinaldi et al. 2005).
Regulation and management of instream gravel mining in California is re- viewed by Kondolf ( 1994). Types of mining in alluvial systems The three types of instream gravel mining are dry-pit and wet-pit mining in the active chan- nel and bar skimming. In-channel pit mining involves the excavation of a pit below the thal- ...
An understanding of geomorphic processes can provide insight into the effects of mining operations on stream function, and multidisciplinary empirical studies are needed to …
Instream gravel mining is one of the most detrimental activities in the evolution of the river morphology and has significant consequences over spatial and time scales, from tens of years Petit et al., 1996, Rinaldi et al., 2005, Arnaud et al., 2015 to hundreds of years Surian and Rinaldi, 2003, Comiti et al., 2011, WyŻga et al., 2016.

Sand-and-gravel mining in stream channels and mining of sand in the active sand dunes or beach can damage structures built in the coastal areas and river bank by counter effect. Several studies have documented the bed degradation caused by the two general forms of instream mining, viz. pit excavation and bar skimming.
A variety of methods are adopted for alluvial sand extraction. Kondolf et al. described several methods for the extraction of sand from the active channels and floodplain/terraces of riverine environments.3.3.1 Active Channels. Instream sand and gravel mining (Plate 3.2) has been carried out by the following methods: (a) Bar …
