In England alone there are over 2,000 active quarries, covering 64,000ha (0.1% of the country's land area). All this land is under temporary stewardship of mineral operators and all of it will be restored after quarrying. Restoration, and aftercare, is of course a requirement and component of planning permission for mineral extraction.
