Land Reclamation Program

Picture ofThe Land Reclamation Program assures that mined land is returned to the best possible condition for use after mining is completed. Our program administers the State statutes, regulations, policies and directives of the Land Reclamation Commission.  We work to assure that Missouri's mineral resources are available for economic development, and after reclamation, the land is available for new development or public use.  The Land Reclamation Commission is a governing body that represent the Governor of Missouri and the Missouri Department of Natural Resources in matters related to mineral extraction regulations. The commission is comprised of representatives from the industry, academia and the government.
