[en] The remedial actions to restore the land after the uranium mining at Ranstad took place 1990-1992. The deposit for the leaching wastes was covered, the open mine was caulked and pumping of ground water ceased. The environmental goals set by the county administration were reached for all metals except nickel. Lysimeter measurements show that there is no diffusion of oxygen through the cover. Ground water samples show that the ground water has metal concentrations below the limits for drinking water, except for the pipes under or close to the leaching wastes
