The goal of reclamation is to restore and stabilize land to create conditions necessary for achieving long-term environmental sustainability by transforming sites into productive habitats.
Ecosystem reconstruction involves creating a safe and stable landscape to achieve specific land use goals. This reclamation process includes site preparation, re-vegetation, erosion control, and specialized planting to ensure a resilient environment.
Reading Anthracite Company is dedicated to maintaining high standards of environmental performance across all its operational mines, exploration sites, and properties. We are committed to reducing the environmental impact of daily operations while maximizing benefits for future generations.
The reclaimed land is transformed into productive, attractive, and valuable space, reflecting Reading Anthracite’s ongoing commitment to responsible environmental stewardship.
Areas reclaimed are restored to their original contour and the beneficial results have included conversions to:
• Recreation Parks
• Housing Developments
• Retail Centers
• Wildlife Sanctuaries
• Natural Forest and Geographically Native Covered Terrain
