In summary, Mines Inspectors still have the discretion to require additional reclamation where there are extenuating circumstances that warrant this, and where there is a clear rationale for doing so. However, the default course of action will be to ensure that roads are left in the condition they are found, while managing any site-specific water management, erosion, or stability concerns.
