Abstract:

The Feldspar Mining Company, in conjunction with the Soil Conservation Service, the North Carolina Forest Service, The North Carolina Wildlife Commission, North Carolina State University and Western Carolina University, has undertaken the restoration of mined property in the Spruce Pine area of North Carolina's Appalachian Mountains. Rehabilitation plans, thought to be the first of their kind in the state, include landscaping, tree and groundcover planting, carving of exposed mine walls, and the filling of mined pits to create new lands and eliminate water pollution.
