Mine reclamation

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Mine reclamation is the process of creating useful landscapes that meet a variety of goals, typically creating productive ecosystems (or sometimes industrial or municipal land) from mined land. It includes all aspects of this work, including material placement, stabilizing, capping, regrading, placing cover soils, revegetation, and maintenance.

Mine reclamation as a regular part of mining practice is a modern practice.
