Disturbed Lands Assessment and Reclamation The assessment and restoration of disturbed areas such as mine tailings basins (above) and forested watersheds (below) require a variety of expertise. NES has a wide range of experience related to mined land reclamation. Our scientists have monitored hydrologic variation and biotic changes on several projects in Michigan's Upper Penisula. We have extensive experience in monitoring changes to plant and animal communities as a result of human-induced disturbance. Our knowledge of biotic integrity indices (IBI) and other assessment protocols allow us to document physical changes, such as sedimentation and erosion, and biological changes in disturbed streams and seasonal ponds.
