British Columbia Mine Reclamation Symposium
International survey of mine reclamation and funding Champigny, Normand, 1958-
Abstract
In 1990, The Coopers & Lybrand Consulting Group at the request of the Mining Association of Canada carried out a survey of reclamation regulations in selected countries and jurisdictions outside Canada. This initial study was later supplemented by data from Canadian provincial jurisdictions. This paper presents a summary of the findings of these studies and comparisons between the various jurisdictions. There has been a progression in various Mining Acts from legislation covering the safety aspects of mining and health to much more complex environmental concerns ranging from disturbance of flora and fauna to the ultimate reclamation of the areas affected by mining. Identification of and compliance with reclamation regulations, the funding of reclamation activities, and the responsibility of operator beyond the abandonment of the property are issues which are becoming of increasing concern to mine developers and operators

of the Mining Association of Canada carried out a survey of
reclamation regulations in selected countries and jurisdictions
outside Canada. This initial study was later supplemented by data
from Canadian provincial jurisdictions.
This paper presents a summary of the findings of these studies
and comparisons between the various jurisdictions. There has been
a progression in various Mining Acts from legislation covering the
safety aspects of mining and health to much more complex
environmental concerns ranging from disturbance of flora and fauna
to the ultimate reclamation of the areas affected by mining.
Identification of and compliance with reclamation regulations, the
funding of reclamation activities, and the responsibility of
operator beyond the abandonment of the property are issues which
are becoming of increasing concern to mine developers and operators
