A Victoria Bankshares study outlines how moving sand gravel and related minerals within a nine county Texas region often doubles price per ton for each twenty miles moved. It notes offshore coastal shortages inland, with shifts toward longer trucking or rail, and predicts rising costs for Houston area builders as deposits near the Victoria Barge Canal deplete. The report also details shell dredging, usage, royalties, and the shift of supply from coastal bays to inland sources.
