Description

The report is meant for use as a guide to assist people involved in a professional capacity in land reclamation. It delineates three major regions in the province in an attempt to establish criteria that would apply to each area in general, while recognizing that there are differences within each of the regions. It then discusses soil survey and sampling for baseline and post-disturbance activity, and looks at analytical requirements required for baseline characterization and for disturbed and orphaned areas. The remainder of the report then looks at the physical, chemical, and biological criteria for evaluating the suitability of soil materials for revegetation.
