SCOPE OF RECLAMATION WORKS IN AGRICULTURAL, FOREST AND AQUATIC DIRECTIONS AFTER EXPLOITATION OF ROCK RAW MATERIALS.

The publication attempts to unify the scope of reclamation works in the agricultural, forest and aquatic directions. For the analysis of the works scope, three phases of reclamation were adopted: preliminary, basic (technical) and detailed (biological). Preliminary reclamation consists in the analysis of factors affecting the selection of a reclamation direction, establishing the direction of reclamation and the development of design-estimate documentation. Basic (technical) reclamation consists in the shaping of the terrain, regulating of the hydrogeological conditions, reproducing of the soil, separating of toxic soil formations, constructing and reconstructing of roads, as well as in works safety. Detailed (biological) phase consists in conducting agrotechnical procedures aimed at initiating soil-forming processes and introducing herbaceous plants and trees. Analysis of the type and scope of reclamation works showed that the type of works differs depending on the scale of degradation of the post-mining area, the type of mineral exploited and the reclamation direction. However, the scope of works of the preliminary reclamation phase is the same for all discussed directions. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
