Environmental Stewardship

Environmental stewardship is a focus of modern mining companies throughout the entire mining cycle—from reclamation planning to that plan's completion. From water testing to the valued creation of helpful water retention sites for communities, mining companies work toward sustainable use of resources. Find information about the importance of environmental stewardship, and ideas and case studies about technical approaches to environmental problems in this Toolkit.
