While the successful reclamation of coal postmining land sites in Indonesia has been evaluated, no costbenefit analysis has been carried out on the reclamation of mined land, and the impact of the reclamation work has not been determined. The results of this case study indicate that reclamation work is not an emissionfree process, but that the benefits delivered from this work are considerable.

The reclamation process for all surface mining—including coal, bentonite, and trona—is very similar. When mining begins, the top soil—the top layer of fertile soil in which plants grow—is removed and saved for later use. The overburden—the soil that covers the mineral—is also removed and saved. Once mining operations are finished ...
