“Putting a New Face on Mining Reclamation” OVERVIEW The Office of Surface Mining held an interactive forum on geomorphic reclamation on September 12-14, 2006 at the Farmington Civic Center, Farmington, New Mexico. The interactive forum examined the geomorphic principles for landscape reconstruction and application of those principles to mined land reclamation. The focus of the first two days were presentations on technical and regulatory issues, tools for planning and designing reclaimed landscapes and case studies. The third day was spend in the field at the La Plata and San Juan Mines reviewing areas reclaimed using geomorphic principles and was hosted by BHP Billiton.
