Property Reclamation Act

The Property Reclamation Act is a law that requires companies extracting natural resources, like minerals or oil, to restore the land to its original condition after the work is done. This means they must repair environmental damage, such as soil erosion or habitat destruction, and sometimes plant vegetation to rebuild ecosystems. The goal is to prevent long-term environmental harm and ensure the land remains usable or safe for future use. The law typically mandates that companies set aside funds or take specific actions to ensure proper reclamation happens after resource extraction activities are finished.
