The Paczków sand pit before new administrative changes was located in Paczków within the Opolskie Voivodeship. It was also there that it was created and prospered for many years. Currently, the majority of the pit area is located within the Lower Silesia Voivodship.

From Paczków came one of the longest conveyors used to transport spoil to the gravel and sand sorting plant (Separated part of the sand mine). The method of using belt conveyors in the mine was often discussed in many technical schools in the country.

The sand deposits are currently exploited by KSM Byczeń.
