One of the most striking and persistent characteristics of surface-mined land is the hole left in the ground after mining. Mines can cause large disturbances that cover many square miles, or small ones that affect less than one acre. Any size mine can be reclaimed to waterfowl habitat if certain issues can be resolved. This article proposes solutions for some of these issues and describes several reclaimed mine sites in California.
