Mineland Case Histories

Welcome to the Case History Homepage!

Mineland restoration projects have been implemented in response to a spectrum of concerns. The following examples showcase the techniques, equipment, costs, environmental conditions, challenges and results from projects implemented in Montana, Alaska, Oregon, Idaho and North Dakota. These examples are presented in the spirit of learning and not under the assumption that any single approach is correct or incorrect. There can be many solutions to any given problem. Please take some time to browse through the following pages to see how others have approached site specific challenges. If you have a case history you would like to see posted on the following pages feel free to contact us.
