ABSTRACT
A reconnaissance field investigation of sand and gravel deposits in 10 counties in
southern California was conducted from 1962 to 1965. Deposits that were worked
commercially and undeveloped deposits of potential economic interest were examined.
Fixed plants were visited, pits sampled, and grave! examined in the laboratory.
Stream deposits, ancient beach deposits, and old geologic formations including
sandstone and conglomerate are the principal sources of sand and gravel in southern
California. The bulk of sand and gravel occurs in the stream beds, floodplains, terraces
and alluvial fans of the major streams.
In 1966, approximately 66 million tons of sand and gravel valued at about 74
million dollars were produced from the southern California counties covered in this
report. Commercial operations are located close to population centers; those which
produce from stream deposits are located on portions of the stream where a proper
blend of material can be obtained. Plants have capacities ranging from 30 to 1,000
tons per hour and produce concrete or bituminous aggregate and road base. Data
on the individual deposits, including laboratory test data obtained from the California
Division of Highways, are presented in a tabulation. The locations and extent of the
deposits are shown on an accompanying map.

SAND AND GRAVEL IN CALIFORNIA
INVENTORY OF DEPOSITS
PART C — SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA
By Harold B. Goldman
INTRODUCTION
This report is the third of a three-part bulletin on
the occurrence of the major sand and gravel deposits
in California. Part C includes the results of field and
laboratory investigations of sand and gravel in the 10
southernmost counties in California (San Luis Obispo,
Kern, Santa Barbara, Ventura, Los Angeles, San
Bernardino, Orange, Riverside, San Diego, and Im-
perial). Thirty-one central counties were discussed
in Part B; 17 northern counties were discussed in Part
A of this bulletin (180). The area covered in Part C
as well as those covered in Parts A and B, is shown
on figure 1.
Purpose. The purpose of this investigation was to
obtain the basic information necessary to a statewide
inventory of sand and gravel deposits, including the
location and extent, geology, and status of commercial
development of deposits.
Scope of investigations. Field investigations of a
reconnaissance type were conducted from January
1962 to December 1964. New plant operations were
visited in 1965 and 1966. The location and extent of
the deposits were plotted in the field on U.S. Geo-
logical Survey topographic maps scale 1:24,000. Field
determinations of the. configuration of the deposits
were checked in the office with geologic maps, aerial
photographs, and available U.S. Department of Agri-
culture soils maps. Samples of representative materials
were taken in the field and later petrographic examina-
tions were made in the Division of Mmes and Geol-
ogy's aggregate laboratory.
All deposits that were being, or had been, worked
commercially, and undeveloped deposits which may
be of commercial significance in the near future were
visited. Where commercial production was obtained
from an extensive geologic formation such as a con-
glomerate, only the developed portion of the deposit
was delineated. Small deposits (under .50,000 cubic
yards), and deposits located farther than 50 miles
from a marketing area were excluded.
The fi.xed commercial plants were visited, operators
interviewed, and the pits examined. Portable plants
that were in operation at the time of this investigation
are noted in the tabulation.
Descriptions of a number of plants in Los Angeles
County were provided by the Southern California
Rock Products Association whose assistance helped
expedite the field work.
Mr. Robert E. Frecland, who is in charge of raw
materials and land management for Pacific Western
Industries, furnished information on the current status
of operations and was extremely knowledgeable re-
garding potential sources of aggregate.
The results of standard acceptance tests on materials
from commercial operators were obtained from the
files of the Materials and Research Laboratory of the
California Division of Highwa>s. The results of petro-
graphic examination of several deposits were kindly
provided by the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation. AV^c wish
to acknowledge these agencies' cooperation in making
their data available.

Sand and Gravel in Southern California
GEOLOGY OF DEPOSITS IN SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA
Stream deposits, ancient beach deposits, and older
geologic formations have all yielded commercial sand
and gravel in southern California. Approximately 75
percent of the sand and gravel being mined occurs as
stream deposits.
Stream Deposits
Most of California's aggregate production is ob-
tained from sand and gravel in stream deposits. Cali-
fornia's rugged mountains are drained by streams with
steep gradients. In flood stage these streams transport
huge volumes of sand and gravel that are deposited in
channel, floodplain, terrace, and alluvial fan deposits.
Stream Channel Deposits. Stream channel deposits
consist of sand and gravel deposited in stream beds
along present stream courses. Most channel deposits
are exploited. The reason they are used so commonly
is that many California streams are dry for much of
the year, and their channel deposits arc accessible and
easily mined.
Materials in these deposits are desirable as aggre-
gate for many reasons. The natural abrasive action of
stream transport has ground up and removed most
of the soft weak rocks and concentrated the harder
and firmer particles. The particles have undergone
some degree of rounding, and are subrounded to well-
rounded, a physical attribute that makes them desirable
for use in concrete.
Most channel deposits are replenished by seasonal
floods except in portions of the streams downstream
from dams. Overburden is rarely present, but high
waters may bring in silt, clay, and wood debris to
cover parts of some channel deposits. The maximum
size of gravel gradually decreases downstream in the
streams with long reaches, and commercial production
is concentrated in the deposits where a proper blend
of sand and gravel can be obtained. Fortunately, the
favorable portions of many streams occur in flat-lying
areas near population centers, as for example, the Kern
River near iiakersfield, the Sisquoc River near Santa
Maria, and the Santa Clara River near Ventiu-a.
Floodplain Deposits. True floodplain deposits con-
sist of material deposited on plains bordering streams
bv periodic overflow of the streams from their chan-
nels. The sediments lieposited are normally composed
of silt and sand grains. However, these fine materials

may mantle usable deposits of sand and gravel, par-
ticularly in areas where, in the geologic past, the
streams were more competent and transported greater
volumes of coarser material. The sand and gravel in
these older, deeper fioodplain deposits is similar to
that in channel deposits, and is suitable for use after
overlying fioodplain silt layers are removed. Flood-
plain deposits are best exemplified in the eastern por-
tion of the San Joaquin A'alley.
Terrace Deposits. Stream terrace deposits are
benchlike deposits of sand and gravel which border
a stream but lie above the level of the present flood-
plain.
These deposits are remnants of older fioodplains
through which the stream has cut. Terrace deposits,
because they are above the stream level, may be more
desirable than stream channel deposits if water tables
are shallow and abundant ground water makes stream
channel operations difficult. However, there is no
possibility of replenishment. The materials in these de-
posits have the general properties of stream channel
materials, but weathering processes may have dimin-
ished the quality of some of their constituents by
converting certain minerals to clay. The terraces along
the Kern River in the San Joaquin \"alley have been
a source of production for many years (Goldman and
Klein, 1961).
Alluvial Fans. An alluvial fan is a gently sloping
fan-shaped mass of loose rock material deposited at
the mouth of a canyon where a stream leaves the
mountains and enters an adjacent valley or plain. The
abrupt fiattening of gradient causes deposition of the
bulk of the bed load in a crudely stratified mass.
The cobbles and boulders are deposited at the apex of
the fan and the average particle size decreases toward
the sides and base of the fan. Fan deposits, because
of the frequent shifting of the stream channel, ordi-
narily contain lenticular beds or tongues of poorly
sorted sand and gravel interbedded with varying pro-
portions of silt and clay. The particles are subangular
to angular in the fans built by streams with small
drainage areas. The particles in large fans, covering
several square miles, are generally subangular to sub-
rounded. Suitable aggregate is obtained from alluvial
fans which are free from thick clay lenses.
The major sources of aggregate for the Los Angeles
area are the alluvial fans of Big Tujunga River in the
San Fernando \^illey and the San Gabriel River near
Azusa.
Beach Deposits. Sand and gravel formed by the
winnowing action of currents and waves on a beach
make exxellent aggregate. The gravel and coarse sand
size particles are generally well-rounded, hard, and

weathering. The fracture in the

of weathering.

across the face of the pit. The loosened sand and gravel is then removed by an electric shovel which loads

firm. The sands are commonly composed predomi-
nantly of resistant quartz and feldspar. Most beach
deposits, however, are thin, lack proper size gradation,
or are too inaccessible to be utilized for aggregate.
.\n ancient shoreline deposit of the Salton Sea is a
source of sand and gravel in Imperial County. The
deposit is composed of crudely stratified thin beds of
sub-rounded gravel and sand.
Older Geolof^ic Formations. Older geologic forma-
tions, particularly those containing partially consoli-
dated beds of sandstone and conglomerate, afford
usable sources of sand and gravel when post-dcposi-
tional weathering has not been too advanced. Ordinar-
ily, these formations have been subjected to long
periods of weathering and are too well cemented or
contain too much clayey material to be processed
economically at the present time. Accessibility, depth
of overburden, caliche coatings, and cemented layers
also present problems. However, considerable produc-
tion is obtained from the Poway Conglomerate of
Eocene age near San Diego, the Kern River Formation
of Pliocene age near Bakersfield (Goldman and Klein,
1961), and the Saugus Formation of Pliocene age near
Moorpark.
iModern beneficiating techniques can be used suc-
cessfully to obtain high quality aggregate from these
older formations.
.•\n article by the author discussing the use of older
geologic formations as a source of concrete aggregate
and bencficiation techniques, was published in Rock
Products (Goldman, 1962).

Sand and Gravel in Southern California
ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT
Production. In 1966, approximately 66 million tons
of sand and gravel valued at about 74 million dollars
was produced from deposits in the counties covered
by this report. This represents approximately 55 per-
cent of the total production of sand and gravel in
California for that year.
The present market for sand and gravel in southern
California is primarily in residential, commercial, and
industrial construction. About 90 percent of the sand
and gravel is processed in fixed plants and sold com-
mercially. The remainder is produced by contractors
with portable plants for use by city, county, state or
federal agencies on public works projects.
Nearly all production is obtained from well-estab-
lished aggregate-producing areas located near popula-
tion centers. Few deposits are being developed an-
nually, and there is small possibility of locating a
large, as yet unknown, source close to a marketing
area.
The press of urban growth is being felt by pro-
ducers in southern California, and expansion of exist-
ing pits becomes increasingly difficult in view of
tightening zoning restrictions. In some counties, it is
virtually impossible to obtain a permit to open a new
pit. Future production will come from existing sources.
leading to depletion of a number of deposits within
the next 20 years. It may then become necessary to
import sand and gravel from deposits which are be-
yond the present economic limit of hauling (about
50 miles) in California (Goldman, 1959).
Mining Methods. Various methods of excavating
sand and gravel are used in southern California. The
most common method is to use a dragline, or electric
shovel.
End-dump trucks, scrapers and bottom-dumps are
used to haul material from the pit to the plant, al-
though many operators use conveyor belts for this
purpose.
The method of excavation for each commercial op-
eration is described in the tabulation of deposits.
Flant Processing. Commercial operations are lo-
cated on portions of deposits where the proper blend
of sizes of sand and gravel can be obtained in order
to produce a variety of products. Non-commercial
production by highway contractors generally is ob-
tained from portions of deposits where there is an
abundance of plus 1 1/ inch gravel to provide crushed
materials for use as road base or bituminous aggregate.
Ideally, a commercial deposit would contain about
60 percent gravel and 40 percent sand (minus "4 inch);
enough plus 1 '/z inch gravel to crush for use as road
base or bituminous aggregate; and sand in the correct
Photo 6. Some deposits in southern California contain soft shale particles that are removed
in processing. This plant uses a heavy medio process by which the soft, lighter, unsound
porticles are floated off while the hard, dense, sound particles sink.

Photo 7. The tremendous demand for sand and gravel to keep pace with the
growth in southern California has been met by producers who have built
high capacity plants. This new plant of the Consolidated Rock Products Company
near Irwindale is designed to attain ultimately a capacity of 3,000 tons
per hour. Photo courtesy Consolidated Rock Products Company.

industry is dramatically shown in this photograph of the homes encroaching upon

sizes and proportions for use in concrete. Few de-
posits meet these requirements, and plants are designed
to cope with natural deficiencies.
The plants in southern California range in capacity
from 30 to 1000 tons per hour; the average plant has
a capacity of 200 to .300 tons per hour. These are
medium-size plants. Larger plants with capacities up
to 1000 tons per hour furnish the aggregate for the
Los Angeles area.
Most plants are departmentalized to produce differ-
ent products. There is usually a "dry" side, where pit
run material is screened and crushed for use as road
base (or in some instances as bituminous aggregate)
and a "wet" side where sand and gravel is washed and
screened for use as concrete aggregate. Various stages
of crushing are used to reduce the gravel fraction to
the necessary sizes. Ordinarily a jaw crusher is used
for primary reduction, particularly where boulders
over 3 inches are present. Gyratory and rolls crushers
further reduce the gravel to minus 1 inch, and minus
% inch. Rod mills are used to manufacture sand from
!4 to Ys inch "pea" gravel to supplement natural sand
that is deficient in fine sizes.
The sand fraction ordinarily is washed and classi-
fied in spiral classifiers (sand screws). Plants process-
ing sand deficient in fine sizes usually employ wet
cyclone-type separators to recover fine sand which
may be present in the overflow from a classifier. In a
number of plants, hydraulic settling tanks are used to
separate the sand into various sizes. The desired blend
of sand sizes is drawn off tiirough gates in the bottom
of the tank and dewatered in spiral classifiers.
Plants processing clayey material use revolving
scrubbers or log washers to clean the pit run material
before further processing.
Standard screens which arc mechanically \ibrated
separate the gravel into the necessary sizes.
Some plants bcneficiate their raw material by re-

moving soft shale in a heavy media separation which
utilizes the "sink-float" principle. The desired material
sinks and undesirable lighter fraction is floated off.
The heavy liquid is made up of a mixture of finely
ground magnetite and ferrosilicon with a range in
specific gravity that can be varied from 1.0 to 3.4.
The shale particles have a specific gravity of less than
2.3 and are easily floated off. Jigs also are used to re-
move light particles in the granule size range (Gold-
man, 1962, p. 68). These plants are located on the
Sisquoc River in Santa Barbara County, and the Santa
Clara River in Ventura County.
Almost all the commercial plants produce concrete
aggregate; about a fourth also produce bituminous
aggregate; all are capable of producing road base.
PRESENTATION OF DATA
Data on the individual deposits are presented in
the following tabulation and include name and loca-
tion and geologic description of deposit, fixed plant
description, and laboratory test data. The tabulation
is keyed to the accompanying map (plate 1) by being
arranged alphabetically according to the name of the
deposit, which in most instances is the related stream.
Where the deposit is in a formation not related to a
modem stream drainage, the formation name serves
as the deposit name. An alphabetical cross index of
operator-to-deposit is included at the end of the tabu-
lation. Also included is a comprehensive list of sand
and gravel producers in southern California for 1966,
arranged by county. This latter list contains, in addi-
tion to the operators described in this report, the
names and addresses of producers who intermittently
operate portable plants at various locations, or who
sell pit run unprocessed material.
The locations and extent of the deposits which were
visited and the fixed plants are shown on plate 1. The
deposits were plotted originally in 1:24,000 topo-
graphic maps and later reduced to the scale of the ac-
companying map. To show the deposits on this re-
duced scale, it was necessary to exaggerate the widths
of the deposits. The dimensions are given in the tabu-
lation under the column headed "Type and Extent".
Only the portions of old geologic formations that
have been commercially developed have been shown
on the map. For the arcal distribution of these forma-
tions, the reader is referred to the Geologic Map of
California and to geologic reports referred to in Divi-
sion of Mines and Geology Special Reports 52 and
52-A, Index to Geologic Maps of California.
The data for the classification of rock tvpes were
obtained by petrographic examination of approxi-
mately 200 pebbles in the % to 1 Vi inch range (a
size most useful for petrographic study and one of
commercial interest) from each deposit. In practice,
the 200 pebble sample amounts to all the Y^ to VA
inch pebbles in a pit run sample of about 100 pounds.
It has been found in other studies (Goldman and
Klein, 1961, p. 14) that for the ordinary stream de-
posit, examination of the size sample indicated above
is sufficient to establish the essential physical and
chemical character of the materials in the deposit.
Attention can be focused upon those rocks or minerals
that might have a deterimental effect on the concrete-
making qualities of the aggregate in which they are
included.
The rock type classifications which are followed
by the letters "USER" were obtained from unpub-
lished reports made by .Mr. Ira E. Klein for the U.S.
Bureau of Reclamation.
The laboratory test data were obtained from the
files of the Material and Research Laboratory of the
California Division of Highways in Sacramento. In
using these test results it should be borne in mind
that these tests represent only the samples submitted
and do not represent all the material in a given deposit.
An attempt \\as made to use only test results ob-
tained in the 5-year interval 1960 to 1965. When de-
posits were not tested recently, test results older than
1960 were used solely for the sake of completeness
and as a guide for future use. The dates of testing
are shown in the tabulation.
