Construction-Mineral Aggregate Availability in the Baltimore, Md., Metropolitan Area
The availability of construction mineral aggregates in the Baltimore, Md. area is subject to geologic, economic, and political constraints. The constraints which result from the urbanization process in the area are primarily economic and political. Urban growth creates an increased demand for aggregates, simultaneously increasing the land use and zoning restriction affecting aggregate producing operations. As of January 1974, an estimated 20,100 million tons of stone was available to meet the demand projected through 1990 of 188.7 million tons. An estimated 139 million tons of sand and gravel was availble to meet the demand projected through 1990 of 84.3 million tons. Some alternative actions are available within the area to insure the adequacy of the stone supply and to increase the supply of sand and gravel: (1) The establishment of special mineral resource zones, (2) the application of sequential land use techniques to aggregate supply regions, and (3) the exploration of previously undeveloped regions.
