Reclamation Planning and Tracking

Project

Sites such as Sheerness Mine, Paintearth Mine, and Obed Mountain Mine require reclamation plans and monthly tracking, along with both internal and external reporting of mine operations progress and KPI’s.  Reclamation and tracking requirements are associated to the site-specific approvals related to legislation such as the Environmental Protection and Enhancement Act (EPEA).

Solution

The WestMET ERS team has experience with making 3D dozer, hauling, and dragline levelling designs, soil haul plans with various fleets, and ensuring final vegetation is planted and established in a timely manner focused on achieving the targeted end land use.

The team works with operations to coordinate reclamation progress maps, weekly KPI’s, and a month end survey with a UAV supporting this process. Reclamation plans can either be developed for the full scope of reclamation or any identified portion of it. Maps and reclamation statistics are compiled in reports for site operations and management review.  These reports are also utilized for both internal liability tracking and regulator reporting as per the site’s Approval requirements.
