"Good disturbances" may help achieve reclamation goals .: Fo4-105/2017E-PDF

"Minimal disturbance is an approach to oil and gas development that aims to preserve the attributes of the original site as much as possible during development. Minimal disturbance practices include carefully selecting equipment and site location, as well as using snow and woody materials during exploration to help reduce or eliminate soil disturbance. While a minimal disturbance approach is important to reduce soil compaction, erosion, and soil rutting, creating good disturbances can also benefit reclamation goals, particularly on sites with a heavy moss layer"--p. [1].
