The rehabilitation of areas disturbed by mining is required to ensure the sustainability and an acceptable post closure land capability and land use.
The rehabilitation planning should start prior to breaking ground as this ensures optimal movement of material for both opencast and underground operations.
The design of the various mine waste deposits that will remain after closure also needs to be done with final rehabilitation in mind.
