In the UK, extraction sites are regulated by the planning system and require Environmental Impact Assessments and permission. Ecological impacts heavily depend on the condition of the site before intervention. Globally, aggregate consumption is projected to double in the absence of new policies, according to the OECD.

Many quarries also refer to their (sub-economic) fine aggregate (finer than 4 mm) as quarry fines (or quarry dust). The term is used here to denote both fine aggregate and quarry fines (material <63 microns). Quarry fines can be considered a mixture of coarse, medium and fine sand material, and silt / clay (silt and clay is known collectively

· The environmental impacts of quarrying are also more readily perceived in a very densely populated country such as Malta. Statistics on quarrying in Malta are inaccurate, although annual production of aggregates may exceed 939,000m 3 (Central Office of Statistics 1994), with about half this figure for diminishing levels of dimension

· A quarry is a place where rocks, sand, or minerals are extracted from the surface of Earth. A quarry is a type of mine called an open-pit mine, because it is open to Earth's surface. Another type of mine, a subsurface mine, consists of underground tunnels or shafts. The most common purpose of quarries is to extract stone for building materials.

It examines the need for screening, how this need can be minimized or avoided, and the different methods by which effective screening can be achieved in different contexts.

The estimated value of non-fuel mineral commodities produced in the United States during 2001 was $39 billion. Natural aggregate (sand, gravel, and crushed stone) accounts for $14.5 billion, or over one-third of this value, and dwarfed the $5.5 billion value of copper, gold, and silver combined (U.S. Geological Survey, 2002).
