Environmental impacts of mining can occur at local, regional, and global scales through direct and indirect mining practices.

Mining is an inherently invasive process that can cause damage to a landscape in an area much larger than the mining site itself. The effects of this damage can continue years after a mine has shut down, including the addition to greenhouse gasses, death of flora and fauna, and erosion of land and habitat.
History of Western Mining. The western portion of the United States was mined sporadically and on a small scale as early as the late 1600s by Spanish miners.
