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.
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.

Practical guidance for opencast operations covers early detection with low cost thermal cameras, prevention, and the treatment methods in current use: water sprays and cannons, sand cladding of highwalls and stockpiles, removal of burning coal by dragline, tipping into water ponds and the treatment of sinkhole areas. A three month full scale trial of sprayed fly ash as an antioxidant is reported.
