Yet another massive breach at the Hallett mine has remained open for more than two months. Will they help pay for dredging? Or will you foot the entire bill?

Hallett is 5-square. mile sand mine just above Kingwood on the San Jacinto West Fork. If Northpark Drive went all the way to the river, you could see the breach shown in the post.

Who's Hallett and what do they do with the sand ? Texas Water Code sec 11.086 should prohibit overflow caused by diversion of water.

billcherie2 : Sand is used on everything, pretty much. Mainly construction, but there are many, many other applications. I believe it is the most mined resource worldwide
