为采矿准备场地, 我们先把沙子移走, 砾石, 我们计划开采区域的表土和植被. 在可行的, we save this mixed soil material so we can use it as part of reclamation work as mining is completed. 土壤是重建本地植物生命的宝贵资源, 哪条路通向鸟类的栖息地, 昆虫和其他动物使以前的矿井再次成为他们的家园.

当某一特定区域的采矿作业完成后, we begin the work of reclaiming that area of the mine even as work continues in other areas of the operation.

倾斜和放置土壤
 
我们按要求将这一区域重新倾斜, 将步骤2中回收的土料放置在矿区待绿化区域. We may also use additional coarse woody debris—fallen trees 和 large branches found in the areas ground cover during the reclamation process—as ground cover during the reclamation process. 我们也使用野生树木, 死树垂直地埋在地上, to provide structures on rocky areas which can be used as nesting or perching habitat for birds. This enhances the biodiversity value of the reclaimed l和scape by returning key elements of mature or old growth forest that create suitable habitat for nesting birds.

种植
 
只要有可能, 开垦雷区时，我们种植本地物种, 根据先前规划阶段进行的研究和咨询选择. We use those native species most likely to survive 和 thrive in a particular area 和 we also plant the type of vegetation most suitable for natural ecosystems that occur in the area, 以实现生态系统和生物多样性的目标. 我们还将土地的文化用途纳入其中, after learning about those from area Indigenous peoples 和 other community stakeholders tied to the l和.

例如, one area of reclamation at our 涉渡河 操作 is a relatively low-elevation site, 朝东, which means that the slopes are cooler 和 moister than a sunny west-facing slope would be. This results in selection of plant species that will thrive in a cooler 和 moister environment. Species such as Engelmann spruce will have much higher growth rates in these sites than if planted on a drier 和 warmer site. 在高海拔地区填海可能意味着更恶劣的气候——更高的风, more exposed sites—so vegetation planted in these areas needs to be tailored to thrive in these conditions. A lot of work goes into determining the right types of vegetation to plan: site studies, 土著人民的协商和科学为这些决定提供了依据.

再造水景
 
Another important part of the reclamation process is reclaiming 水 features at the mine site, 如尾矿池和坑湖. 尾矿是经过细磨的岩石颗粒, 沙子, silt 和 other substances left following the process that extracts the valuable resource (e.g. 铜，锌，炼钢煤)从岩石中提取. 它们通常储存在通过使用护堤而形成的尾矿池中, 水坝或自然特征将其固定在适当的位置. 视乎填海计划及最终土地用途而定, 这些池塘要么完全排干水，要么退役, 或者变成了自己的新的水生生态系统.

在某些情况下, 我们的关闭计划包括创造其他新的水景，这些水景在采矿后仍然存在, 叫做坑湖. 在这种情况下, 当矿山的一个区域完成时, 剩余的矿坑可以用尾矿或岩石填充，然后用水覆盖, 创造一个新的湖泊. 使尾矿池和坑湖发挥作用, healthy aquatic ecosystems is something 比较正规的足球外围网站 has done successfully at several of our sites, 包括我们的高地谷和卡迪纳河行动.

填海工作完成后, we monitor the success of reclamation activities 和 adjust our approaches as necessary to ensure our l和-use plans are working 和 环境 和 biodiversity objectives are being achieved.

在一些矿区，需要对水进行长期处理. 在这些情况下, 比较正规的足球外围网站负责操作和维护这些设施, 以及确保水质达标的监测器.

• Exp和 upon closure 和 end l和 use plan, including more detailed information on how we will:
  • 复垦矿区和尾矿设施等水景
  • 确保生物多样性得到保护，包括植被和野生动物栖息地
  • 帮助员工和当地社区过渡到后采矿经济
• 继续与社区和土著人民接触
  • 进行详细的关闭和最终土地利用规划
  • 让员工和社区为关闭的影响做好准备
• Update the plan throughout the life of the mine to ensure it remains relevant; incorporate new issues, 研究与实践
• 当矿山开始接近其生命周期的终点时，规划就会加强

• 发生在矿山寿命结束时，通常是当矿石储量耗尽时
• Smaller crews remain at site to dismantle the mine processing facilities 和 equipment
  • 建筑物和物理基础设施被拆除、重新安置或拆卸
  • 清除并妥善处理任何有害物质
• 为员工, we provide transition support 和 work to identify opportunities to move them to other operations where possible
• Dialogue continues with local stakeholders to support the postmining economic 和 social transition

• 在整个采矿过程中都要进行逐级复垦
• 在关闭, reclamation activities focus on returning all remaining disturbed l和 to a stable state for post-mining l和 uses (e.g.、湿地、各种野生动物栖息地、户外康乐活动、商业用途)
• 活动包括:
  • 再种植区域
  • 管理水质
  • 如有需要，重新修整和修整岩桩
  • 盖覆或覆盖废石堆
  • 关闭或回收水景，包括尾矿设施

• 我们的遗产 Properties团队负责管理前矿场关闭后的工作
• We continue to engage with communities to implement end l和 use opportunities; such as:
  • 生物多样性保护
  • 土著人民的生存活动(e.g.(狩猎和采集)
  • 娱乐(e.g.(钓鱼、打猎)
  • 农业
  • 本地经济发展机遇
• Monitoring programs assess the effectiveness of reclamation strategies 和 identify any additional reclamation work that may be needed
• Ongoing care 和 maintenance to ensure public safety 和 that our closure actions were successful in achieving end l和 use objectives, 包括:
  • 生态系统恢复
  • 水处理，如有必要
  • 监察及维修任何剩余的水上设施
  • 公共访问管理和安全
