I am seeing subtle connections that make me wonder, and perhaps some one else's insight could help. For all I know not having heard anything, or am in the inner sanctum; remain ignorant.
I found it strange that weeks of dozens if not hundreds of two way trucks have been and still carrying dirt onto Dairy Road, widening it. That raised a question because over the years jogging or driving over it, I never saw a problem with two way traffic. Why widen it now? Perhaps this would be a north end entry/exit to sand mining for truckers and the sand miners believe they have it locked in. That wouldn't surprise me. Money + power = swamp!
I also noticed that have been two major projects that would require large amount of sand, if a new or different stadium was approved and built. Also the border wall is now perhaps "cement & steel", requiring sand. Coincidence? After all, the sand miners said good quality and cheap in El Monte Valley.
Now EnvironMine is pushing another sand mining project in Cottonwood. Seems someone knows something.
Give me some feedback, I am all ears.
according to Billy Ortiz with the Lakeside Riverpark. I asked after seeing your post, but thanks for the heads up.
Interesting point on the possibility of a border wall need ing a whole lot of sand. The environmental impacts of a wall may not be limited only to the border itself, but to anywhere resources for the wall are mined.

El Monte Valley sand mining 2019
Thanks. The dairy is widening its road -- not the sand miners,
