Natural stone mining - land reclamation, vegetation restoration and greening is retained as an industry record. Read dates, organizations, policies and market statements in their original context, and verify current requirements before using the article for a new project.
Original industry report
Another main content of green stone mine construction is land reclamation, vegetation restoration and greening. We should follow the principle of "mining and treatment at the same time, cultivate when appropriate, build when appropriate, and forest when appropriate". Land reclamation, vegetation restoration and greening shall be carried out according to local conditions in combination with the regional characteristics of stone mines, and shall be carried out consistently from the beginning to the end of mine infrastructure construction. The greening work is mainly concentrated on the slope of the stone mine, the muck yard and both sides of the road.
1 slope greening
If possible, the permanent slope of the mining face that is no longer mined shall be reclaimed and afforested.
2 reclamation and greening of waste dump
The key to reclamation after the end of the use of the waste dump of stone mine is filling. For the stone ore body covered by soil layer, these waste dump should be retained for backfilling in the stripping stage.
3 greening of mine roads
Trees, flowers and plants shall also be planted on both sides of the main roads and some auxiliary roads of stone mines.
Relevance to quarrying and cutting projects
How to use this record in a current decision
When “Natural stone mining - land reclamation, vegetation restoration and greening” is cited in a new feasibility study or equipment discussion, identify which statements are dated facts and which remain applicable technical principles. Check cut and hole layout, equipment sequence, water and air supply, bench condition and block movement against the current site, then retain a quarry survey, block plan, equipment flow, trial result and operating-risk review with the new decision file. This keeps the historical source visible without presenting it as a new event or a universal project result. Record the source date, reviewer and reason for carrying each conclusion into the current project.
Facts to confirm before reuse
