The Surface Mining Control and Reclamation Act of 1977 The overriding purpose of SMCRA was to make mine operators conduct their operations in a way that would avoid environmental and public health injury, and to restore the land after mining to its pre-mining condition.
Reclamation includes the following steps: contouring of land; placement of topsoil or an approved substitute on the graded area; reseeding with native vegetation, crops and/or trees; and years of careful monitoring to assure success.
​Reclamation is the combined process by which adverse environmental effects of surface mining are minimized and mined lands are returned to a beneficial end use. End uses may be open space, wildlife habitat, agriculture, or residential and commercial development.
Alluvial valley floors that are so critical to hydrology of western lands were now prohibited from being mined. While initial compliance failures by min- ing operators hindered progress, SMCRA almost immediately curbed much of the systemic mining abuse that plagued the nation.
