Mine rehabilitation is a long term process which should ideally begin during the planning phase of a development. Mine closure should aim to achieve longterm site stability and the establishment of a selfsustaining ecosystem. Digby Wells Environmental (hereafter Digby Wells), has
Mar 25, 2018#0183;#32;Across the, two out of every three acres of reclaimed coal mines have been turned into some form of grassland, which regulators say is often disused. Only 18 percent was converted into farming, housing, industry or recreation, while 16 percent was left in a wilder state as forest or undeveloped land.
Finite resources entail a finite mining life cycle. As coal reserves in a mine are removed or become uneconomical to continue mining, reclamation activities will replace removed soil and/or substrate materials and revegetate the mine in an effort to (1) return it to as close to natural state as possible or (2) redesign landforms to allow improved human access to, or use of, an area.
The size of the rehabilitation security bond is set each year, and varies from year to year depending on the amount of land requiring rehabilitation. Currently 54 million is held as a rehabilitation deposit. Progressive rehabilitation allows the mine owner to reduce

Jul 24, 2012#0183;#32;According to Akpnar et al. (1993), rearrangement and rehabilitation works on degraded areas due to mining activities are carried out in four main steps: i) postmining land use planning; ii) rearrangement within the frame of existing land use plan (excavation, dumping, water regime control, removing and laying out of top soil separately etc.); iii) rehabilitation (biological reclamation); and iv)
Rehabilitation is an integral part of mining operations. It should be planned from the outset and, as far as practicable, undertaken during the operational life of the mine. Rehabilitation planning should incorporate two elements. The first is a final concept plan. This need not be detailed but it should establish expected end use/s of the site and its general characteristics at the completion of rehabilitation.

rehabilitate and restore mined land progressively during the mine life as well as after mining activities have finished. There are social and economic factors behind this focus on progressive rehabilitation. First and foremost, Governments and the communities in which we operate expect mining companies to deliver progressive, quality

It is also a comprehensive interdisciplinary subject that covers the problems of landscape redevelopment and the restoration of its productivity, ecological integrity, and economic and aesthetic value.

Rehabilitation at this diamond mine is done in conjunction with the mining activities. The vegetation is clearly starting to recover, despite a severe drought. Charl says he has experienced many of these problems since they started mining diamonds on his land. The dust is sometimes so bad that it affects the pastures on my sheep farm.
