Lancashire County Council : sand and gravel study

ENTEC UK in association with the British Geological Survey were commissioned by Lancashire County Council, in conjunction Blackburn and Darwen Borough Council and Blackpool Borough Council, to assess possible sources of sand within their counties. The role of the British Geological Survey (BGS) in the project was to identify all potential areas for future high quality sand and gravel extraction within Lancashire, Blackburn-with-Darwen and Blackpool. The study will also indicate the areas which might warrant more detailed investigation in a second stage of the study.
