“Putting a New Face on Mining Reclamation”

September 12-14, 2006
Farmington Civic Center
Farmington, New Mexico

Sponsored by
the Office of Surface Mining, Western Region,
and OSM’s National Technical Training Program

In response to recent advances in the reconstruction of postmining landscapes, the Office of Surface Mining is convening an interactive forum on geomorphic reclamation. The interactive forum is being convened to examine the geomorphic principles for landscape reconstruction and application of those principles to mined land reclamation. The focus of the first two days of the interactive forum will be presentations on technical and regulatory issues, tools for planning and designing reclaimed landscapes and case studies. The third day will be spent in the field at the La Plata and San Juan Mines reviewing areas reclaimed using geomorphic principles and will be hosted by BHP Billiton.
