Science Scope—October 1999

Mining reclamation is defined as the process of returning mined land to productive and beneficial use. How this is accomplished depends on the type of mine, its location, and the degree to which the land was disrupted during mining operations. This instructional insert will introduce your students to mining reclamation and the responsible reuse of lands through planning, management, and technology.
