German term

flächensparende Gewinnung

German to English Tech/Engineering Environment & Ecology spatial planning
From the German EEZ objectives and principles regarding the extraction of raw materials from the North and Baltic Seas. The idea is to conduct mining operations so that the impact on the environment is minimized. I just can't think of a good way to deal with both flächensparend and konzentriert.

Eine möglichst flächensparende und konzentrierte Gewinnung von Rohstoffvorkommen ist anzustreben. Vorhandene Gewinnungsstellen sollen – soweit verträglich mit den Belangen der Meeresumwelt – so vollständig wie möglich abgebaut und deren Erweiterung einem Aufschluss neuer Lagerstätten vorgezogen werden. Vor dem Aufschluss neuer Lagerstätten von Sand und Kies soll die Notwendigkeit der Gewinnung für die Bedarfsdeckung dargelegt werden.

land-conserving exploitation/excavation/mining

trying to focus on "exploitation/excavation/mining in concentrated/exhaustive form/fashion in as small/limited a(n) place/area as possible, thus conserving the (other) land.

as in:
...land-conserving and concentrated/exhaustive excavation/exploitation/mining ... is highly desired

or:
excavation of raw material in land-conserving and concentrated fashion ...

Vorhandene Gewinnungsstellen sollen – soweit verträglich mit den Belangen der Meeresumwelt – so vollständig wie möglich abgebaut und deren Erweiterung einem Aufschluss neuer Lagerstätten vorgezogen werden. Vor dem Aufschluss neuer Lagerstätten von Sand und Kies soll die Notwendigkeit der Gewinnung für die Bedarfsdeckung dargelegt werden.

Existing excavation sites should be maintained instead of opening new sites thus limiting the areas of excavation = thus saving other land/areas. Excavation should be carried out in such areas in as concentrated a form as possible = as complete and all-encompassing as possible (= get it all)

might be an option
