Over twenty years of reclamation at the Fording Rivermine

British Columbia Mine Reclamation Symposium

Over twenty years of reclamation at the Fording Rivermine Gardiner, R. T.; Berdusco, Roger Joseph; Jones, Ron

Abstract

The reclamation research accomplished at the Fording River minesite over the previous twenty years has made a substantial contribution to the development of mine reclamation technology in the province of British Columbia. This paper presents the evolution of this research from the pre-production studies to the present land use objective studies and also describes how this technology is successfully applied at our mine where waste dumps and disturbed land are restored to productive commercial forest and wildlife habitat.
