Silica Sand Mining EIS Meeting Wisconsin DNR
Jun 02, 2012 Silica sand has been mined for thousands of years as it has many uses, from paving roads to filtering drinking water It is also used in the hydrofracking process: fluid pressure fractures the rock and opens natural fractures and pores that would normally be closed due to theIndustrial sand and gravel, often called "silica," "silica sand," and "quartz sand," includes sands and gravels with high silicon dioxide (SiO2) content These sands are used in glassmaking; for foundry, abrasive, and hydraulic fracturing (frac) applications; and for many other industrial uses The specifications for each use vary, but silica resources for most uses areSilica Statistics and Information USGSFor more information on sand and gravel mining in Minnesota, contact the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources For answers to health questions about silica sand exposure, contact James Jacobus at the Minnesota Department of Health, 6512014917 or a sand mining Minnesota Pollution Control Agency
