Groundwater near frac sand mines may become slightly more acidic (lower in pH). This may cause minerals (like iron and manganese) to more easily dissolve, which can cause water to have unpleasant taste and odor, and may cause staining. MDH recommends monitoring pH of groundwater near frac sand mining operations.

Sand and gravel resources can be mined from a variety of depositional settings such as floodplains, alluvial fans, shorelines, and sand dunes, although river channels and glacial deposits are the most important (Yeend, 1973; Sutphin et al., 2002; Walther, 2014). These deposits can be modern (active) or preserved in the stratigraphy.

Artisanal (unmechanised) sand mining is an ancient mining technique used to obtain sand for construction purposes. Depending on the natural conditions (strength of the stream, depth of the river, richness of the sand deposit), together with the sand miners' physical condition (powerful lungs), different working methods are employed.
