OFFICE OF SURFACE MINING RECLAMATION AND ENFORCEMENT

Reclamation Awards

Since 1986, the Office of Surface Mining has presented awards to coal mine operators who completed exemplary reclamation. A parallel award program for abandoned mine land reclamation began in 1992. The objective was to give public recognition to those responsible for the nation's most outstanding achievement in environmentally sound surface mining and land reclamation and to encourage the exchange and transfer of successful reclamation technology.
