mining reclamation

Mining reclamation is the process of restoring land affected by mining activities to a safe, stable, and environmentally healthy condition after mining operations are completed. It involves rehabilitating disturbed soil, replanting native vegetation, and implementing measures to prevent erosion and contamination. The goal is to minimize environmental impact, promote ecosystem recovery, and sometimes return the land for future use, such as agriculture, recreation, or natural habitat. Reclamation is a regulated part of responsible mining, ensuring that land disturbed during mineral extraction is responsibly restored for the benefit of the ecosystem and local communities.
