The article attempts at defining the mutual relations between the reclamation of post-mining land and the liquidation of a mining pit. This issue has not been explicitly determined in legislation, which can lead to essential discrepancies in interpretation. An analysis of the rules of law, literature, court rulings and Polish Standards has led to a conclusion that post-mining land reclamation is usually an element of the liquidation of a mining pit, and that reclamation itself can be carried out both during and after completing its extraction. The article further described the model phases (stages) of post-mining land reclamation and contains a de lege ferenda postulate for specifying the provisions for mining authority supervision and control of the process of post-mining land reclamation in terms of limiting the scope of supervision and control to preparatory and basic (technical) reclamation.
