This study was designed to address the issues germaine to the land planning and rehabilitation strategy of a surface-mined land area for reuse as a water-based recreational facility. This development, the White River Waterpark, is proposed as a regional level facility.The report is divided into three sections. The first introduces the notion of rehabilitation as a necessary consideration for efficient land use planning. The second section provides background material on the process and methods of sand and gravel excavation and the resultant features which affect rehabilitation and reuse. Section three presents the design process for the Waterpark beginning with the formulation of planning objectives for facilities and activities, an inventory of the existing land base and an analysis of site features. These stages allow the determination of development and land use recommendations and conceptual design plans. Each stage of the planning process is documented in written and graphic form explaining the basis for decisions and proposals articulated in the Land Use Master Plan and supportive documents. / Department of Landscape Architecture
