The establishment of semi-natural vegetation is rather fast at all mining sites. Except for certain toxic, heavily eroded or exposed sites, a continuous vegetation cover is formed within 10–20 years (Prach et al. 2011). The main objective of land reclamation is usually the formation of a continuous vegetation cover (Perrow and Davy 2002).

Materials management practices for significant materials at the surface of underground mining facilities are similar to those materials management practices used at surface mining operations. However, waste rock or mill tailings are in some cases being returned to the mine as fill for the mined-out areas or may be directed to a disposal basin.
