Description: A methodology describing procedures for preparation, neutralization, fertilizing, seeding and follow-up maintenance, if required, for revegetation of reactive sulphide tailings disposal areas in Canada was presented.  Some fundamental basic building blocks were introduced.  From these basic concepts, a tailings revegetation program was developed.  Some of the more common agricultural equipment and implements required to prepare, seed, and maintain mine waste areas were described and illustrated.
