Land Reclamation Program
The 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.
