Abstract

Mine site reclamation is a relevant step in maintaining ecological balance after mining activities. Although mining activities provide many economic benefits, they often have negative impact to the environment. These environmental problems require effective and sustainable solutions. To minimise the effects of mining, environmental management is obligated to stabilise the land, so it is productive after mine closure and leads to the best possible purpose. Regulatory authority sets out the criteria for reclamation to be accomplished by the mine reclamation program such as compliance, land re-contouring, revegetation, and final completion.
