Gravel Mining Operations. Gravel mining operations on Wynoochee River being excavated by dragline, Courtesy: Kondolf, 1994. Operations include the wet excavation of riverbeds for gravels and the dry pumped excavation of floodplains. The advantage in the later method is the ease of excavation, whereas the pumping comes at a cost as well.
