The landform design was made with GeoFluv-Natural Regrade. Their building was performed with existing machinery pool and operators. The main constraint was the impossibility of setback regrading of pre-existing-benched highwalls. Progressive geomorphic mine restoration neither reduced mineral production nor changed the operations. The approach has resulted in higher landscape functionality and integration. Monitoring showed localised erosion due to poorly planned discharge of road runoff and sporadic tunnel erosion. Sediment movement at the designed drainage network is similar to the local fluvial dynamics.engjournal article1748-0949https://doi.org/10.1080/17480930.2020.1844368https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/17480930.2020.1844368restricted access551.4:622.88Geomorphic restorationprogressive restorationlandform designGeoFluv- Natural Regradeearth movingclay quarryGeodinámica2506.07 Geomorfología
