The content includes surveying the boundaries of mining areas, surface and groundwater hydrology, the physical and chemical properties of waste rock piles and other exposed materials, the volume and location of waste rock piles and voids, as well as the locations of hazardous areas such as mines, faults, and unstable tailing ponds. An investigation of the natural and social environmental conditions of the mining area is also conducted. Based on this information, a preliminary determination of the land use and reclamation plan post-reclamation is made.
Establish a land reclamation fund guarantee mechanism. Whether there is funding is the foundation and guarantee for the implementation of land reclamation work. In practice, the main reason why a large amount of damaged land has not been reclaimed is that the funds have not been secured, leading to land reclamation obligors shirking their responsibilities and passing the burden onto the state. Therefore, to prevent and eliminate such situations, the regulations require land reclamation obligors to include land reclamation costs in the production cost or the total investment of construction projects; if land reclamation obligors fail to reclaim the land or the land is still not up to standard after rectification during the acceptance inspection, they must pay land reclamation fees, which will be organized for reclamation by the relevant land and resources departments.

Counties and above should determine annual reclamation projects based on the special land reclamation plan and the annual allocation of land reclamation funds.
Investors in reclamation projects are responsible for organizing and implementing the land reclamation projects. The relevant department of land and resources should compile a design document for the reclamation project, clearly specifying its location, area, objectives and tasks, engineering planning and design, implementation schedule, and completion deadline.
Landowners of state-owned land damaged by historical events or natural disasters, as well as owners and users of collectively-owned farmland by farmers damaged by historical events or natural disasters, who self-rehabilitate the damaged land into arable land, will be provided with subsidies by local governments at or above the county level.
Counties and above may reclaim land destroyed by history or natural disasters as arable land, which may be used as supplementary arable land indicators for non-agricultural construction land occupation within the province, autonomous region, or municipality.

Persons obligated for land reclamation who use heavy metal pollutants or other toxic and harmful substances as backfill or filling materials shall be ordered by the local environmental protection departments at or above the county level to cease illegal activities, take corrective measures within a specified time, eliminate pollution, and be fined between 100,000 and 500,000 yuan; if corrective measures are not taken within the deadline, the environmental protection department may have a unit with the capability of treatment do so on their behalf, with the costs borne by the violator.
If the land reclamation obligor fails to report as required the status of land damage, the use of land reclamation costs, or the implementation of land reclamation projects, the local land and resources department at or above the county level shall order a deadline for correction. If the correction is not made within the specified time, a fine of between 20,000 and 50,000 yuan will be imposed.
In order to ensure that the systems and measures stipulated by the regulations are effectively implemented and to severely punish illegal activities, it is necessary to strictly enforce the legal liabilities of departments and land reclamation obligors. To this end, the regulations provide as follows:
