Perhaps you could kill two birds with one stone by mining out the sand for later use?
That is my concern too. Here is about half of the sand we mined out of the area, its real wet/heavy soupy sand. Once it dried out it has clumps of clay in it. I would like to put sand in an area to create a beach but I think I would have to sift it to get the clay out of it.....or I could just spread it out and see what happens....?
