Mine Closure Planning
Mine closure planning is the process of preparing for the safe and responsible closure of a mining site once its resources are depleted. It involves assessing environmental impacts, restoring the land, and ensuring the safety of surrounding communities. This plan includes strategies for rehabilitating the ecosystem, monitoring for pollution, and integrating the area into future land use, such as agriculture or recreation. Effective mine closure planning is essential to minimize the negative effects of mining operations and promote sustainable development after the mine has ceased operations.
