![]() ![]() The Kansas State Conservation Commission (SCC) permits pit mines. View the 2006 public notice for a permit by Victory Sand and Gravel Since the early 1990’s, only one new in-river dredge operation has been permitted on the Kansas River. The United States Army Corps of Engineers (COE) permits in-river dredging sites, and after all the preliminary permitting with other government agencies is completed (see below) the COE issues a Public Notice that includes relevant information and provisions for commenting and requesting a public hearing by a specific date. The land for either operation needs to be either leased or purchased. Pit mine sites need considerably more land to locate the actual pit as well as an area to store and process sand and gravel mined from the pit. In-river dredge sites need several acres of land adjacent to the river to store and process sand and gravel mined from the river.
