Companies mining aggregate submit detailed plans to Alberta Environment covering development, conservation, and reclamation strategies. This includes considerations for water quality, surrounding vegetation, and wildlife. Reclamation Security is mandated, held by the government until the area is restored to equivalent land capacity.
