Because it costs money and mining companies exist to make money.

As long as the cost of environmental repair is greater than the legal expenses to avoid repairs, a business will likely not do anything to rectify environmental damage

Businesses exist to make money.

Imagine that you are a natural resource manager at an underground mine. The mine is closing down because its available minerals have been used up. You are now tasked with developing a plan to close the mine safely and restore the natural area.

Name three steps your plan must include to successfully complete these tasks. Explain why each of these steps is important to restoring the natural area.

Edemntum sample explanation:

  • The mine shaft will need to be filled in with a substance to prevent the risk of sinkholes in the region.
  • The natural area will need to be tested for pollution caused by the mining equipment. This may require a plan to clean up the pollution to restore the natural ecosystem.
  • A plan will be needed to restore any vegetation in the area that was damaged or cleared away when the mine was built. This may require fertilizing the soil so that new plants can grow.
