Many of these reclamation sites were in phosphate's "golden triangle," around Bartow, Lakeland and Mulberry. Phosphate mining is strip-mining that clears the land in sections. First, 30 to 40 feet of "overburden" and then 15 to 25 feet of phosphate-containing layer called the matrix are dredged away with a drag line.
