It's hard to know what BFS is thinking, but many people consider mining processes to leave "scars" on the earth, so with mention of that in a couple of places, perhaps BFS feels that way in general about mining. There is apparently a large mining area in Colorado (where BFS is located) known as "The Scar".

So, in my opinion, it just references the visual effect mining can have on the planet.
