Land that is no longer being used for mine or plant purposes and has been, or is in the process of being, reclaimed. In the past there was only one category of reclaimed land. Alberta now has three categories of reclaimed land: Temporary Reclaimed (Some areas are reclaimed and revegetated to grasses for the purposes of stabilization and erosion control - not considered permanent until revegetation targets boreal forest ecosystems); Permanent Reclaimed (activities include landform design, soil placement, and revegetation. Companies must use local plant species to target the return of local boreal forest ecosystems) and Certified Reclaimed (an area meets stringent requirements for reclamation, regulators have issued final certification and the land is returned to the Crown as public land).
