| Title: |
All long-term reclamation of mineral extraction should be closely monitored. |
| Text: |
"Reclamation of abandoned and out-of-production sites is a long-term strategy, directed towards managing the eventual transition from mineral extraction back to other land uses in a manner consistent with LPC and SDL conservation objectives. However, it must be pursued on an incremental basis, starting with site-specific mitigation strategies described in Conservation Strategy 2.2 and extending to larger areas. All such work should be closely monitored and
credited, as described in Conservation Strategy 2.1. Special consideration is given to the IPA/Carlsbad area in Conservation Strategy 4.1. In this region, coordinated reclamation of retired oil fields may be extremely important over the long term as a means of reversing landscape fragmentation and facilitating the restoration of viable LPC populations to southeastern New Mexico." |
