Even if most French mining sites are defmitively closed, potential risks remain above the abandoned exploitations. Those risks influence the land use management of post-mining areas. In order to manage properly those risks, French State has developed a technical and regulatory tool : the MRPP (Mining Risk Prévention Plan). MRPP aims to identify the most sensitive areas subject to "post mining hazards" and to define regulations able to manage future urbanism development on surface. The present paper proposes a methodological description of MRPP in order to explain the nature and objectives of the procedure.
