Portuguese term or phrase: manchas de empréstimo
'Na fase subsequente dos estudos serão também investigadas soluções alternativas que passem pela instalação de pedreiras ou de manchas de empréstimo de agregados finos.'

I found these in only a few sites, but they all seem to come up with different terms. Does anyone know an actual term for it?

Thanks in advance for your help!

borrow pits


Explanation:
You can find "borrow pit" in the English Wikipedia. I am not saying that "site" is wrong, just that "pit" is clearly in use.
