In the past, strip mining and related activities has demonstrated that the environment can be destroyed by pollution and discarded waste. The balance of utilizing nature's resources while preserving them for the future can be very delicate.
The introduction of the Surface Reclamation Act in 1963 by the Government of Alberta was one of the first steps locally to recognize that industry had a leading role to play in protecting the environment while extracting its resources. Now, most larger corporations realize that reclamation responsibilities are an essential part of any activity which affects the environment.
