Mine Rehabilitation
Mining Rehabilitation and Completion can be separated into two distinct areas:
-
Management of new and current mining activity
-
Management and rehabilitation of sites of former mining activity
New mining operations
For new and existing mining operations, the Mining Rehabilitation Branch will develop and implement policy and processes related to the government’s role in adopting the Ministerial Council on Mineral and Petroleum Resources' (MCMPR) 'Strategic Framework for Mine Closure' and develop management arrangements for strategic Extractive Areas Rehabilitation Fund issues.
Former mines
The Rehabilitation Branch continues a comprehensive program that manages former mine sites and addresses issues of environmental and public safety.
This rehabilitation work is done in collaboration with other government Agencies.
Currently, the following sites are being managed by PIRSA:
