Protect
Long before ground is broken on a new mine, plans are made by mining companies to rehabilitate the land. Rigorously reviewed by federal and state governments as part of the permitting process, plans must be approved before work can begin.
Reclamation efforts can help return mined areas to an ecologically balanced state by:
- Restoring ecosystems and vegetation
- Stabilizing soil
- Controlling erosion
