RECLAMATION OF LIMESTONE QUARRIES BY LIMESTONE SIMULATION

Summary of Lessons Learnt from Trial Sites
Landform simulation is the construction by restoration blasting of varied slope sequences on disused quarry faces consisting of rock screes, buttresses and headwalls which are selectively vegetated to produce landform/vegetation assemblages similar to those on natural limestone dales. This report presents a summary of monitoring of trial sites created at Hope and Tunstead Quarries. It assesses their success in terms of stability, vegetation establishment and visual appearance, and makes recommendations for the future application of the the technique.
