The primary goal is to restore environmental vitality to land degraded from mining.

Explanation: reclamation aims to stabilize soils, re-establish vegetation and habitats, protect water quality and public safety, and return the land to a productive or beneficial use (which may include restoring economic value). It is not done to maximize mining company profits.
