Characterization, Cleanup, and Revitalization of Mining Sites

Case Studies

EPA; other government agencies; state, local, and tribal governments; as well as private entities have successfully remediated and restored numerous current, former, and abandoned mining areas throughout the United States. This page presents some of these successfully restored sites as well as sites still in progress. More detailed information about these sites can be found by visiting the links under each case study.

For a more comprehensive list of abandoned mine lands and abandoned mine restoration projects, visit the EPA Abandoned Mine Lands program website. See also, the case studies compiled by the Interstate Technology Regulatory Council's (ITRC) Mining Waste Team.
