We think we’re pretty unique here at the Mining Remediation Authority—there’s a lot more to us than you might think.

We are absolutely focused on making a better future for people and the environment in mining areas, and we have been doing this for more than 30 years.

With this comes not only responsibility but also endless opportunities for innovation. From harnessing energy from mine water to providing critical insights for the legal, property, and construction sectors, we are constantly finding new ways to transform mining legacies into sustainable solutions. And that’s just the tip of the iceberg.

Our work goes beyond risk management – we actively repurpose materials once seen as waste. Take ochre, a by-product of mine water treatment: we’re turning it into a valuable resource for land remediation and anaerobic digestion.

We provide a range of products and advisory services to support the development of new homes and infrastructure in coalfield areas. From site risk assessments to pre-planning advice and historical plans, our services give end-to-end support, reducing uncertainty and risk for our customers.

Our progressive and innovative approach is the key to a brighter future for the UK—and we are preparing for that future today.
