Reclaiming mined-out aggregate pits in California has become the focus of increasing concern. Reclamation ordinances have been adopted: (1) to ensure compliance with a community's master plan that may designate specific land uses to fulfill that community's requirements for flood control, greenbelts, landfills, or other land needs; (2) to guarantee that mined-land with little remaining market value will be restored to an acceptable condition and conform with adjacent higher-market-value lands; and (3) to add a measure of community protection to ensure that mined-out property is reclaimed. Reclamation is a cost of doing business for the aggregate industry. The following article describes the reclamation of a Canadian quarry designed to support wildlife.
