The Mining and Reclamation Advisory Board sent a copy of its 2003 annual report of activities to the General Assembly this week outlining the accomplishments of DEP’s reclamation and remining programs.

Since their inception, Pennsylvania’s remining programs have reclaimed over 2,745 acres of abandoned mine lands. The value of that reclamation, done by private industry, is over $23.6 million.
