Bingham was designated a National Historic Landmark in 1966. A massive landslide occurred at the mine in 2013.
Rio Tinto Kennecott announced it is reclaiming 740 additional acres of land at the Bingham Canyon mine in a commitment to the environment and the local community. The East Waste Rock Reclamation project entered its third phase this summer and is expected to last through 2028.
Rio said this restoration process enhances biodiversity on the remediated land and improves the appearance of the mine for residents of Salt Lake Valley. “We’re investing in restoring hundreds of acres of land back to its natural beauty in areas we no longer need for active mining, as part of our long-term commitment to be responsible stewards in our community.”
