19-405: The project consisted of: Completion of the development was planned for Spring 2010. To complete the deal, it involved a simple land-swap arrangement of existing facilities across three sites: Unfortunately, due to unforeseen issues in construction across the two council owned sites, the football club incurred additional costs. This initially resulted in an agreement to lapse the development of

38-498: A modern paper conservation studio. The retail park now rests on the site previously occupied by Cardiff's city farm. Cardiff Council originally planned for the retail park to be built on the current site of the allotments, located on Bessemer Road. Some of the unused plots at the entrance to the allotments were planned to become the site for a new community centre for disabled children and people with learning disabilities, run by Cardiff-based charity, Vision 21 . This development

57-582: A parcel of land to nature. For example, after the Netherlands designated the Dutch National Ecological Network, provincial governments in the country established programs offering financial and organizational assistance for the acquisition of agricultural land and its restoration to more natural habitats.

76-569: A part of environmental remediation is the process of returning the land in a given area to some degree of its former state, after some process ( industry , natural disasters , etc.) has resulted in its damage. Many projects and developments will result in the land becoming degraded , for example mining , farming and forestry . It is crucial that governments and businesses act proactively by working on improvement, lay out rehabilitation standards and ensure that decisions on mediation should be based around value judgment for higher sustainability in

95-474: A source of considerable employment generation and economic investment in regional areas, if governments were willing to enforce the laws covering the process. Before mining activities begin, a rehabilitation security bond must be provided. The Australian mine rehabilitation bonds totals $ 9.49 billion, with the state of NSW bond totaling $ 2.68bn in 2019. The size of mining security bonds has been questioned by NSW's Auditor General as being insufficient to cover

114-597: Is home to Cardiff City F.C. club. The stadium also hosted the home matches of the Cardiff Blues rugby union team until the 2011–12 season. It is the second largest stadium in Cardiff and also Wales (the largest being the Millennium Stadium ). The stadium cost £29,000,000, Laing O'Rourke was contracted for the whole development. The new athletics stadium, built to replace the previous Cardiff Athletics Stadium which

133-461: Is performed by scavenger operations which treat the soil within the plant area for spilled gold using modified placer mining gravity collection plants. Also possible is that the section of the mine that is below ground, is kept and used to provide heating, water and/or methane. Heat extraction can be done using heat exchangers, that convey the heat to a nearby city (hence making it be used for district heating purposes. Water can be harvested from

152-400: Is the exchange of land between two parties, typically a private owner and a government. These parties may include farmers, estate owners, nature organizations, and governments. Land swaps may also take place between two sovereign nations for practical, geographical or economic reasons. The exchange of land is undertaken for a variety of reasons, among them the conversion or rehabilitation of

171-411: The environmental effects of modern mining , which may in the case of open pit mining involve movement of significant volumes of rock. Rehabilitation management is an ongoing process, often resulting in open pit mines being backfilled. After mining finishes, the mine area must undergo rehabilitation. For underground mines, rehabilitation is not always a significant problem or cost. This is because of

190-501: The House of Sport until December 2010. In January 2009, with Cardiff City facing a winding-up order due to an outstanding £2.7M bill to HMRC , the club asked the council for permission to sell the residual 20acres to a developer. The Capital Shopping Park in Leckwith, started building at the end of 2007 and originated from the idea of a new stadium for Cardiff City FC . The retail development

209-618: The events that are taking place on the track or field in the now completed stand. The track and field are now open for public use. The Glamorgan Record Office moved to a site behind the new football stadium from the Glamorgan Building in Cathays Park at the end of 2009. The newly renamed Glamorgan Archives offers facilities for visitors to search its 8.5 km of archives relating to the historic county of Glamorgan, as well as conference space for workshops, lectures and school groups, and

228-530: The focus for future studies should be directed at the correlation that can be observed between biodiversity, mine ecological restoration and carbon sequestration. Depending on the country, mining companies are regulated by federal and state bodies to rehabilitate the affected land and to restore biodiversity offset areas around the mines. Mine rehabilitation, a legal obligation for mining companies in Australia for which they are required to pay bonds, could be

247-524: The future. In some jurisdictions, including parts of the United States , the term "reclamation" can refer to land rehabilitation, as in returning disturbed lands to an improved state, instead of the land fill of water bodies. In Alberta , Canada, for example, reclamation is defined by the provincial government as "The process of reconverting disturbed land to its former or other productive uses." Modern mine rehabilitation aims to minimize and mitigate

266-404: The higher grade of the ore and lower volumes of waste rock and tailings. In some situations, stopes are backfilled with concrete slurry using waste, so that minimal waste is left at surface. The removal of plant and infrastructure is not always part of a rehabilitation programme, as many old mine plants have cultural heritage and cultural value. Often in gold mines, rehabilitation

285-466: The mine as well (mines are often filled with water once the mine has been shut down and the pumps no longer operate). Methane is also often present in the mine shafts, in small quantities (often around 0.1%). This can still be recovered though with specialised systems. An added advantage of recovering the methane finally is that the methane does not come into the atmosphere, and so does not contribute to global warming. As research methods continue to expand

304-416: Was accepted by Cardiff Council on 20 October 2008, in their development control announcements. This site was to include a café, garden centre, a small shop, offices and meeting rooms. The stadium was handed over to Redrow Homes by Cardiff City chairman Peter Ridsdale on 10 September 2009. Redrow was to build 142 new homes on the site. The development was still to be known as Ninian Park. A planted square

It was originally owned by Capital Retail Park Partnership, which is owned by commercial developer PMG, but in February 2014 it was sold to Aberdeen Asset Management for £59.65 million. Matalan were named in an original planning application, but pulled out in March 2005. The new stadium has 33,280 seats and

342-500: Was demolished to make room for the new rugby and football stadium . Construction started in March 2007. The athletics stadium is the only part of the development to not be built by the main contractor, Laing O'Rourke and instead individual contractor, Cowlin Construction. The stadium will include a gym, meeting rooms, and several offices, which should be completed in the new year. Members of the public are now permitted to come and watch

361-501: Was proposed at the centre of the new housing development, in the area of Ninian Park football ground's centre spot. The first show home of the £24m development was to open by late spring 2010, with a mixture of terraced, detached and semi-detached houses. The estate welcomed its first residents in November 2010. The main road was named Bartley Wilson Way after the founder of Cardiff FC. Land exchange A land exchange or land swap
