Description:   A rehabilitation plan was outlined for the Kam Kotia mine site.  Due to the extent of environmental damage caused by the acid mine drainage from the sulphide tailings, the project was of primary importance.  The goal was to establish a productive native vegetation community.  To do this, the problems of acidic runoff, toxic concentrations and high loads of heavy metals in the groundwater, erosion of tailings, and sedimentation impacts must first be solved.
