Mine Remediation is the process of restoring land that has been mined to a natural or economically usable state.

# data[].attributes.body
During the process of mine remediation , re-establishing vegetation may be difficult due low precipitation, low fertility of soils in arid climates and the soils ability to hold water. Factors such as wind or water erosion, runoff and landslides slow the vegetation growth and make it hard for a consistent base to be made.

Replacing/and or adding topsoil/nutrients to improve soil quality

When we use natural resources, we alter the natural environment. We need to take in consideration the damage we do when we mine.

Recontour land to original topography and grade the soil

Take into consideration factors like low precipitation in arid climates. Other factor like wind, runoffs, and landslides might make it difficult to grow vegetation after the mine remediation.

Minimizes the environmental effects that are caused by mining.

Mining is a very destructible process, so making sure to remediate mines is essential. Leaving a mine that is not remediated is bad for the environment.

Bioremediation by sulfate-reducing bacteria. Bioremediation is adding a living factor to reduce an environmental issue.

some ways to reclaim contaminated land include:
adding uncontaminated top soil, planting, and adding vegetation, making sure soil is stabilized, so there is less infiltration with the contaminated soil.

# data[].attributes.body
If it is not possible to restore the land, we need to try to at least give it a new purpose, like a golf course.

Some steps to restore vegetation are replacing the soil to so that the soil may have the proper nutrients and perhaps replanting native vegetation.
