The Missouri Department of Natural Resources describes a Sand and Gravel Operation business as:

In-stream sand and gravel mining is one of the most prevalent types of mining in Missouri. Businesses and individuals are not allowed to use excavating machinery within the flowing water of a stream. This type of activity is only allowed within the ordinary high banks of a stream, above the water line during the time of extraction. 

You may need some or all of the following permits for a Sand and Gravel Operation business:

Scrap Tire Hauler Permit

If you or your business plans to transport scrap tires (tires that are no longer suitable for their original intended purpose because of wear, damage or defect) for profit within Missouri, you are required to obtain a Waste Tire Transporter License, also known as a Scrap Tire Hauler Permit. The Solid Waste Management Law requires certain scrap tire haulers to obtain a Waste Tire Hauler Permit. You are exempt from this requirement if your activity falls into one of the following categories, provided you do not create pollution, a public nuisance or a health hazard:

  • Do not haul for consideration (monetary or non-monetary compensation) or commercial profit
  • Hauling warranty tires or new defective tires to the retailer, wholesaler or manufacturer for adjustment credit or return
  • Hauling scrap tires that were generated at their own business or residence, provided that this transportation is done using their own employees and vehicles

If you do not meet any of the exemptions listed above, then you are required to obtain a Waste Tire Hauler Permit from the Missouri Department of Transportation (MoDOT). If you are unsure, please contact the Missouri Department of Natural Resources' Waste Management Program. For more information, please visit MoDOT's Waste Tire Transport webpage.
