Objectives of the project

Based on the implementation of comprehensive research, it is planned to substantiate the feasibility of agricultural activities remote from the storage of overburden and increase the sanitary protection zone around such man-made objects, despite the fact that the latter belong to the lowest IV hazard class, – “low risk”.

Conducting such studies will justify the feasibility of additional forest reclamation measures to prevent deterioration of soil quality, including agricultural, in areas adjacent to the heaps of overburden, considering the different stages of their life cycle: during the period of their filling, embankments that existed for a long time, technogenic massifs with intensive manifestations of vegetation renewal on them.

Key words: Dumps of overburden; dust spread; fishing granite deposit; soil fertility; bioindication; ecological danger
