Quarrying of stone, sand and clay

Use this group for the broader activity area of quarrying of stone, sand and clay, including Quarrying of ornamental stone, limestone, gypsum, slate and other stone and Operation of gravel and sand pits and mining of clay and kaolin. Open the child codes when a more specific code is needed.

group

Mining of chemical and fertiliser minerals

Use this class for mining of chemical and fertiliser minerals when the main activity includes Mining of natural phosphates and natural potassium salts and Mining of native sulphur. Check exclusions and nearby codes before applying it to a mixed activity.

class

Extraction of peat

Use this class for extraction of peat when the main activity includes Peat digging and Preparation of peat to improve quality or facilitate transport/storage. Check exclusions and nearby codes before applying it to a mixed activity.

class

Extraction of salt

Use this class for extraction of salt when the main activity includes Extraction of salt from underground, including by dissolving and pumping and Salt production by evaporation of sea water or other saline waters. Check exclusions and nearby codes before applying it to a mixed activity.
