(In recycling) Restoration of materials found in the waste stream to a beneficial use which may be for purposes other than the original use.
Restoration of mined land to original contour, use, or condition. But as used in this report, also describes the return of land to alternative uses that may, under certain circumstances, be different from those prior to mining.
is the process of environmental remediation during and after mining and milling takes place.
the process of restoring a surface mine site to its original contour, function, and appearance, thus "reclaiming" it
Returning disturbed land to a productive state.
The process of rehabilitating disturbed lands, or converting unproductive lands to productive uses. The term is also used for the process of recycling or reusing water. In the context of the Reclamation Act and reclamation law, it means putting arid lands to use through irrigation.
The process by which lands disturbed as a result of mining activity are reclaimed back to a beneficial land use. Reclamation activity includes the removal of buildings, equipment, machinery and other physical remnants of mining, closure of tailings impoundments, leach pads and other mine features and contouring, covering and re-vegetation of waste rock piles and other disturbed areas.
processing waste for recycling.
(4) an activity aimed at rehabilitating a disturbed site to a near-natural state or an agreed post-mine level of productivity.
Processing of excavated landfill waste. See Landfill Mining.
the process of protecting, restoring, and possibly even improving the land before, during, and after surface mining. As coal is removed from one section of a surface mine, the land at another part is returned, regraded, and replanted.
Reprocessing and upgrading of a recovered controlled substance through such mechanisms as filtering, drying, distillation and chemical treatment in order to restore the substance to a specified standard of performance. Chemical analysis is required to determine that appropriate product specifications are met. It often involves processing off-site at a central facility.
actions taken to restore mined land, as required by regulations, to a post-mining land use approved by DMRM.
A process of restoring land and the environment to an approved state following mining activities. The process commonly includes "recontouring" or reshaping the land to its approximate original appearance, restoring topsoil and planting native grass and ground covers. Reclamation operations are usually underway before the mining of a particular site is completed. Reclamation is closely regulated by both state and federal law.
the conversion of wasteland into land suitable for use of habitation or cultivation
The process of restoring land disturbed by mining to a condition that meets or exceeds regulatory agency requirements.
The remedial process necessary to return land used for mineral operations to an acceptable environmental state. This normally includes restoration and aftercare.
The costs incurred to restore land to its original (or better) condition.
The process of improving or restoring the condition of land or other material to a better or more useful state.
The process of restoring natural areas damaged by human activities such as clear cutting or strip mining.
The process of reconverting disturbed land to its former or other productive uses. Remediation: The removal, reduction, or neutralization of substances, wastes or hazardous material from a site so as to prevent or minimize any adverse effects on the environment or public safety.
Restoration of a site or resource to a desired condition to achieve management or stated goals.
Renewing the land where strip-mining has taken place
An action undertaken by one having a security or ownership interest, in an attempt to obtain possession of property held by a debtor or trustee; also, an action undertaken by a seller of goods to reclaim such goods from an insolvent debtor, usually a debtor in bankruptcy or receivership.
bringing land that has been disturbed by some process back to its original condition.
the reprocessing of a recovered substance into a "new product".
The process of converting lands disturbed by oil and gas activities to other productive land uses, involving reshaping areas to a stable configuration, establishment of drainage systems, placement of topsoil or plant growth media and revegetation through planting or seeding.
Restoring the landscape to its original contours after surface mining operations are complete
In the South African context, reclamation describes the process of reclaiming slimes (tailings) dumps using high-pressure water cannons to form a slurry which is pumped back to the metallurgical plants for processing.
the rehabilitation to beneficial use of land disturbed by mining activity
Historically, a wide-ranging federal program to irrigate arid lands throughout the West. More recently, a euphemism for treating sewage water so it can be reused for nonpotable purposes. See recycled.
Restoring the land to approximate pre-mining conditions or to other viable land use.
The restoration of a site after mining or exploration activity is completed.
The process of restoring disturbed areas using any of several methods, recontouring, spreading topsoil or growth medium, seeding, and planting, among others.
Operations designed to return an area to an acceptable environmental state, whether for the resumption of the former land use or for a new use. It includes restoration, aftercare, soil handling, filling and contouring operations.
the act or process of restoring mined-out lands to a useful state. Also, the industry devoted to the recovery or re-use of waste materials.
The concept of reclamation of land has been defined as including all desirable and practicable methods for: designing and conducting a surface disturbance in a manner that minimizes the effect of the disturbance and enhances the reclamation potential of the disturbed lands; handling surficial material in a manner that ensures a root zone that is conducive to the support of plant growth where required for future use; contouring the surface to minimize hazardous conditions to ensure stability and to protect the surface against wind or water erosion;
restoration of land after development so that it is returned to a level of productivity near to its original state
has a special meaning in minerals planning. It comprises operations which are designed to return the area to an acceptable environmental condition, whether for the resumption of the former land use or for a new use. However, it includes events which take place before and during extraction (e.g. correct stripping and protection of soils); and also operations after extraction which may include filling and contouring, the creation of planned water areas, landscaping and tree planting. Reclamation includes "restoration", "aftercare" and "after-use" which are described below."Restoration" comprises steps to return land to its original or former condition following mineral working by using subsoil, topsoil and/or soil-making material."Aftercare" provides for steps to be taken to bring land to the required standard for use for agriculture, forestry or amenity. These may include planting, cultivating, fertilising, watering, drainage or otherwise treating the land."After-use" is used to mean the ultimate use after mineral working for agriculture, forestry, amenity (including nature conservation), industrial or other development.
Process of returning the land to a beneficial use.
The process of returning the land to another productive use after mining has been completed. Or The restoration of land and environmental values to a surface mine site after the coal is extracted. Reclamation operations are usually underway as soon as the coal has been removed from a mine site. The process includes restoring the land to its approximate original appearance by restoring topsoil and planting native grasses and ground covers.
The filling, backfilling, restructuring, reshaping, and/or revegetation within and around a land excavation to a safe and aesthetic condition. This also includes the process of restoration.
Reclamation is the process of reclaiming something from loss or from a less useful condition. It is generally used of water reclamation, which, a century ago meant damming streams (thus the US Bureau of Reclamation owning dams), and now has come to be used to describe wastewater reclamation.
