Effects of Urbanization Upon the Availability of Construction Minerals in Southeastern Florida.


PB240021

Publication Date 1974
Personal Author Edgerton, C. D.
Page Count 24
Abstract Miami Oolite is the only significant construction mineral in southeastern Florida. Its source area coincides with that of rapid urban expansion. Although two-thirds of the existing resource is already unavailable because of urban development, sufficient resource remains to meet demand for many years if its extraction is not hampered by land-use conflicts. Three measures aimed at reducing these conflicts are given.
