Performance standards and monitoring requirements of surface coal mine reclamation success in mountainous jurisdictions of western North America: a review

Article Abstract:

A review was conducted on the regulatory performance standards and monitoring requirements that are used to assess reclamation success in nine western North America jurisdictions. Most jurisdictions lacked ecosystem-based reclamation monitoring which is important in regulatory enforcement and adaptive environmental management. Effective long-term monitoring may greatly improve reclamation practices and regulatory control in each jurisdiction. A set of performance standards and a long-term hierarchical monitoring program is proposed.
