Sandblasted!

Welcome to the Monroe County Sand Mines site!

Monroe County has sand mines in the city of Sparta, Tunnel City, Valley Junction, Oakdale and Little Falls. Mines have also looked at sites in the township of Angelo. A sand mine had been looking at the town of Grant but has apparently dropped the project.

This website is an effort to keep locals abreast of sand mine developments throughout the county.

Sand mines are sweeping throughout Wisconsin. Click here to learn more about a new documentary, "The Price of Sand."

For more information about sand mining in Wisconsin and what citizens' options are, read the Frac Sand Sentinel.
