Mineral resources are state assets, the excavation of which is an engine of economic and social progress. There are 17 species of minerals found in Lithuania. In recent years, nine types of minerals have been used in Lithuania: dolomite, limestone, underground water, clay, sapropel, gravel, sand, peat, and oil. Safe and rational use of useful resources is the maximum benefit for the state and society and the minimum impact on our environment, while the mining processes are managed and controlled. Most of the resources used in Lithuania, like in the rest of the world, are groundwater and building materials. According to the data of the Lithuanian Geological Survey, extraction of mineral resources for construction and road industry (dolomite, sand, and gravel) has significantly increased over the past years. Some have been exterminated and rehabilitated, and, of course, new ones have emerged. The emergence of new quarries and the closure of depleted plants are monitored by state institutions, but they collect information only on legally extracted minerals, but there are no accounts of other types of cadastral areas of damaged land, quarrying quantities, and such cask condition. In the execution of the State Damaged Land Management Plan 2014-2020 approved by the Minister of Environment, the Lithuanian Geological Survey carried out an audit of all Lithuanian cadastral damaged areas of more than 0.3 ha - "Collection and systematization of information on damaged lands". The purpose of this project was to identify the sites and condition of the land damaged by any mining operation; to calculate excavated mineral resources; to accumulate and systematize information on damaged lands; and based on the collected data to identify the damaged lands to be treated first. The results of this work showed that 3300 sites of more than 0.3 hectares are affected by casual damage. The amount of minerals likely to be illegally dumped, mainly gravel and sand, reaches 15 million m3, thus the state has lost about 6 million Euro taxes. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
