Introduction to the principles of sustainable mine planning with a focus on environmental control system design, reclamation and restoration design, and environmental monitoring systems. Topics will include culvert and diversion design, hydrologic inputs, catchment delineation and routing, sedimentologic inputs, erosion control and best management practice selection, sediment pond design, design of silt fences, grass filters, and sediment ditches, weep berm and vegetated filter strip design, reforestation, grassland/wildlife establishment, stream restoration, wetlands/vernal ponds, environmental monitoring system design, and community integration.
