borrow pits
Also called borrow areas. A borrow pit is a term used in construction and civil engineering. It describes an area where material (usually soil, gravel or sand) has been dug for use at another location. The term is literal—meaning a pit from where material was borrowed; although without an implication of someday returning the material. (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Borrow_pit).
