Draft Resolution Copper Pipeline Route Special Use Authorization Reclamation Plan

This reclamation plan has been prepared for the pipeline route as required by Forest Service regulation 36 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) 251.56 and to establish the basis for the reclamation cost estimate and financial assurance for the Special Use Authorization. It is designed to return land disturbed by Resolution Copper’s mining activities to a near natural condition and ensure the site does not pose any long-term risk to the people or surrounding environment. An overarching goal of this plan is to establish specific reclamation practices that would enable future land uses and meet the applicable requirements of federal and state regulatory programs.
