Project 12.2 – Land Rehabilitation Guideline for Surface Coal Mines

Four part reference covering planning, in-field implementation, monitoring and post-closure land management, written for mine planners, rehabilitation practitioners and regulators rather than as a site specification.

What this report found

Sets out good practice for planning, implementing, monitoring and adaptively managing land rehabilitation at surface coal mines, with generic rehabilitation objectives, implementation actions and suggested relinquishment criteria for each component. It updates guidance first issued in 1981 and revised in 2007, reflecting later changes to South African rehabilitation legislation.

What this report found

Builds on an earlier productivity audit that identified fluctuating bonuses and incentives as an influence on output, safety and employee stress. The work examines how salaries, production bonuses and safety bonuses are graded and distributed across employee categories, how workers perceive that distribution, and whether incentives in practice motivate production and safe working. Stress and morale are treated as measures of wellbeing.

What this report found

Micro-gravity, electrical resistivity and time domain electromagnetics located the boundary between old workings and virgin ground, but no ground technique tested could resolve individual bords and pillars at the depths typical of the Witbank and Highveld coalfields. Airborne thermal infrared surveys worked well as a low cost regional reconnaissance tool for shallow sinkholes, fires and possible pollution plumes.
