Mining Impact and Rehabilitation
before open‐pit mining began ... Filling with waste rock and tailings is an uncommon rehabilitation option, as most open pit mines are too large for this to be feasible. Backfilling also delays rehabilitation, as the waste rock could have been contoured and planted years before ... such as limestone‐lined channels and dams.

The role of creep deformation in pit lake slope stability
Abstract Large-scale open-pit mining activities have profound impacts on the surrounding landscape and environment. At the cessation of open-pit mining, the rehabilitation of large void spaces can be achieved by pit-lake filling, where the water body provides a confining pressure on surrounding mine surfaces, reducing both the likelihood …

What is the Method of Mining Limestone?
Open-pit Mining. Open-pit mining is a type of surface mining that is commonly used to extract limestone. In this method, a large pit is dug into the ground, and the limestone is extracted using heavy machinery, such as bulldozers and excavators. The limestone is then crushed and processed for use in various industries. Quarrying
