What will the land look like during mining operations?
The type of mining selected will affect the appearance of mining operations. If in-situ is used, a wellfield will exist on the site, and the only portion visible will be rigs and a processing building. For underground mining, the mine head frame and the processing buildings would be visible. For surface mining, the open pit and associated equipment would be visible. In all instances, however, operations will be shielded from view from public roads by setbacks, buffer zones and other aesthetic barriers.
