Minimising erosion resulting from mining is important to improve of reclamation and management. Geomorphic landform design (GLD) is a reclamation technique that attempts to replicate a long-term erosionally stable condition. Erosion was evaluated using the Revised Universal Soil Loss Equation (RUSLE) comparing two reclamation scenarios (conventional and GLD) to the undisturbed condition. Soil loss rates were highest during the post-mining, pre-vegetation condition (conventional: 123.2 t ha⁻¹ yr⁻¹; GLD: 204.3 t ha⁻¹ yr⁻¹). Long-term erosion rates showed little difference between valley fills reclaimed with GLD and conventional methods; however, erosion was concentrated along the conventional fill face and distributed over the GLD landform.

最大限度地减少采矿造成的侵蚀对于改善开垦和管理非常重要。地貌地形设计（GLD）是一种填海技术，旨在复制长期的侵蚀稳定条件。使用修订的通用土壤流失方程（RUSLE）对侵蚀进行了评估，将两种填海方案（常规和GLD）与未扰动条件进行了比较。采后，植被前的土壤流失率最高（常规：123.2 t ha ^-1  yr ^-1； GLD：204.3 t ha ^-1  yr ^-1）。长期侵蚀率显示，用GLD回收的河谷填充物和传统方法之间几乎没有差别；但是，侵蚀沿传统的填土面集中，并分布在GLD地形上。
