U.S.	Distinction in Reclamation	The American Society of Reclamation Sciences recognized Peabody's Kayenta Mine for their innovative reclamation processes. At Kayenta, the reclamation efforts were unique in the use of a dragline to help achieve the final grade necessary for the site. The area recognized by this reclamation award was mined from 2003 to 2016 with a Bucyrus Erie 8200 dragline with an 80 cubic yard bucket and a 2570 dragline with a 100 cubic yard bucket as an open pit multi-seam operation. The spoil ridge created during mining had to be placed back in the final pit. This could be achieved most cost effectively with a dragline, and Peabody committed to reclaiming the pit with the dragline prior to shutting down the machine.
U.S.	Excellence in Reclamation Award	The Wyoming Department of Environmental Quality recognized the North Antelope Rochelle Mine for proactive upfront planning in its successful reclamation. The team was recognized for their work at the 3,682-acre southeast reclamation area. The coal seam in the PRB is 65-80 feet thick and its removal can result in postmining topographies with flat surfaces. By designing the primary post mine drainages to mirror the lower elevation and grade of the mine’s haul roads, additional material was available to increase the elevation and slope of the uplands. This allowed for greater landscape diversity that maximized the value of the post-mining land use of wildlife habitat and livestock grazing. Wetlands, reservoirs, playas and stock wells were distributed throughout the landscape at a density greater than prior to mining and the upland landforms benefit wildlife by offering additional wind protection and wildlife shelter.
U.S.	Vance "Pat" Wiram Award for Innovation in Reclamation and Mining Technology	Peabody's Donnie Hawk, production manager at Wild Boar, was recognized by the Indiana Department of Natural Resources for his contributions to the field of reclamation over his forty year career.

Region	Award	Description
U.S.	Reclamationist of the Year	The American Society of Reclamation Sciences recognized Peabody's Marie Shepherd with the Reclamationist of the Year award. The Reclamationist of the Year award recognizes individuals demonstrating outstanding accomplishments in the practical application or evaluation of reclamation technology. It also rewards individuals responsible for implementing innovative practices or designs for new reclamation strategies. Shepherd, a member of the Navajo Nation, has worked at the Kayenta mine for over 11 years. During the height of Kayenta’s reclamation, Shepherd managed to reclaim about 400 acres per year over a five-year period. She has integrated geomorphic concepts into reclamation plans and coordinates Peabody’s cultural planting program at the site as well. These practices result in a sustainable landform for the Navajo Nation to use. She also manages the annual grazing program which allows the local community to use the reclaimed lands for grazing. As a rancher herself, Shepherd understands using grazing as a best management practice.
U.S.	Pioneer in Reclmation	The American Society of Reclamation Sciences recognized Peabody's Brian Hansen with the Pioneer in Reclamation award. The Pioneer in Reclamation award is presented to an individual that has had significant impact and influence in the field of environmental science and reclamation relating to disturbed ecosystems over their entire career. Hansen worked at the North Antelope Rochelle Mine for over 33 years, eventually serving as the Environmental Manager. NARM has over 32,000 acres of disturbance and more than 14,300 acres of permanently reclaimed ground. This reclamation work at NARM has many environmental challenges that require forward thinking and innovation in reclamation practices. Hansen led the way in advancing several reclamation practices that resulted in close to 7,500 acres of final bond release in a semi-arid ecosystem. The practices he initiated are still used today and continue to have successful final bond release packages submitted to the State of Wyoming.
U.S.	Excellence in Mining Reclamation	The Indiana Society of Mining and Reclamation recognized Peabody's Bear Run Mine with the Indiana Excellence in Mining and Reclamation Award.
