City, county preparation of land spatial planning, should take full account of the historical legacy of mines and mines are mining abandoned mine land use status and development potential, soil environmental quality, water balance, geological environmental safety and ecological protection and restoration suitability, etc., to create conditions for reasonable development and scientific use.
　　"Opinions" clearly, to encourage the comprehensive restoration of mine land use. In line with the premise of spatial planning of land, historical mines abandoned state-owned construction land restoration can be changed to operational construction land, by the local government as a whole after restoration, pre-development of land, to determine the land use rights by public competition in a sub-section; can also be mine ecological restoration program, land transfer program together through public competition to determine the same restoration subject and land use rights, and signed separately ecological Restoration agreement and land transfer contract. At the same time, "Opinions" on the restored land as state-owned agricultural land operation, involving the use of collective construction land, the development of tourism industry, are clear support policies.
　　"Opinions" put forward, the use of mine rehabilitation of state-owned construction land for the development of related industries, in line with the spatial planning of land and allocation of land conditions, can be allocated to provide land use rights, encourage land users in the voluntary premise to transfer, lease and other paid way to obtain land use rights. After the mine rehabilitation of state-owned construction land can take a flexible period of time to let, long-term leasing, rent first and then let, rent to let the combination of the way to supply.
　　"Opinions" clearly, is mining mines in accordance with the law to obtain the stock of construction land and historical mining abandoned construction land restoration for arable land, after acceptance, can refer to the urban and rural construction land increase and decrease the linkage policy, the vacated construction land indicators can be used in the provincial area of transfer.

　　"Opinions" clearly, the local government organizations to implement the restoration of the historical legacy of open-pit mining class mines, can "a mine a policy" reasonable use of abandoned mine soil and stone materials. Due to slope reduction, elimination of geological hazards and other restoration projects newly generated soil and stone materials and in situ remains of the soil and stone materials, can be used for this restoration project free of charge; there is a surplus, can be incorporated by the county people's government into the public resources trading platform for external sales, sales proceeds are all used for ecological restoration in the region.
　　"Opinions" requires that the provincial natural resources departments can be combined with the actual development of specific measures.
