		Rehabilitation (subactivity 9262) funds can only be used for rehabilitation needs assessments and rehabilitation plan development and implementation on FWS lands within the perimeter of the fire or impact area downstream from the burned area.
		Rehabilitation funds are used for fencing or relocation (both actions must be consistent with approved land management plans and FWS wild horse and burro policy) until the area is rehabilitated.
		Rehabilitation treatments may only be planned and implemented on wildland fire for resource benefit when the Periodic Fire Assessment identified impacts caused by the fire on ecological resources were outside the range of acceptable effects which in turn triggered the preparation of a WFSA to guide the selection of a different appropriate management response.

	Land rehabilitation - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Land rehabilitation is the process of returning the land in a given area to some degree of its former self, after some process (business, industry, natural disaster etc.) has damaged it.
		Modern mine rehabilitation aims to minimize and mitigate the environmental effects of modern mining, which may in the case of open pit mining involve movement of significant volumes of rock.
		Often in gold mines, rehabilitation is performed by scavenger operations which treat the soil within the plant area for spilled gold using modified placer mining gravity collection plants.

	"USGS Fact-Sheet-015-97 -- Mind-Land Reclamation in the Thar Desert, India-INDO--U.S. Technology Exhange"
		New Federal mined land reclamation regulations have increased industrial stewardship awareness and interest in landscape rehabilitation but the scientific basis for understanding how sustainable reclamation systems are achieved, especially in the desert regions, is just beginning to be developed.
		New lands are not always available for irrigation development, the cost of development is often prohibitive, and soils that are available are often marginal (i.e., low fertility, sandy texture, and saline).
		Because the use of row crops is an impractical approach to land reclamation, the planting of a mixture of shrubs, used for animal browsing and nitrogen fixation, and grasses used for land stabilization and animal grazing, seems appropriate.
