Got it, you looked at the pictures. If you had read the words you would have seen that certification comes after the work is complete and a monitoring period of up to fifteen years has taken place. Given that most of the mining areas up there are still active and many of the major players have just entered the game in the last decade or so, it's premature to be judging the success of reclamation at this point. The two big operators that have been running for some time, Suncor and Syncrude who went into production in the late sixties and late seventies respectively, are responsible for just about all of the completed reclamation to date, roughly ten percent of the total mining footprint. Much of this is presently classified as "permanent reclamation" (the green stripe on the graph), meaning the reclamation work is complete and the land is now in the monitoring stage.
