Definitions

But wait, there's more!

Minnesota law defines aggregate material as "nonmetalic natural mineral aggregate including, but not limited to, sand, silica sand, gravel, crushed rock, limestone, granite, and borrow, but only if the borrow is transported on a public road, street, or highway."

The updated guidelines include the following definition of gravel: ". . . crushed rock, sand or pebbles."
