Some of the biggest sand and gravel companies in the state have been allowed to operate for years without mining permits, and a whistle-blower says that's against the law. We took what we found to state regulators in charge of the sand and gravel operations.
A recently retired regulator says the law requires a shut-down of gravel pits, an interpretation disputed by his former boss.

Several big companies have been given extra time to straighten out the paperwork year after year after year.
