What is Sustainable Development?
Sustainable Development was defined by the Brundtland Commission (1987) as: “Development that meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs.” Further – “The “environment” is where we live; and “development” is what we all do in attempting to improve our lot within that abode. The two are inseparable.”
Accord Resource Solutions, LLC believes that Sustainable Development is practically implemented through wise use of available resources thereby providing environmental, economic and social benefits to companies and communities.

What is Reclamation Planning?
Reclamation Planning begins long before any disturbance occurs. One must first understand the challenges to reclamation success that are inherently present at any given location, regardless of the source of disturbance. There are many factors to consider when seeking to eliminate or minimize these challenges during project implementation. Planning extends through project construction and operation and into the reclamation phase. A step-by-step approach to monitoring and a full understanding of the necessary criteria for success is vital to defining the desired end result as well as the trajectory designed to achieve that end result. The success criteria may vary by industry and by the regulating agencies within any given state.
