Agricultural land plot reclamation of citrogypsum sediment pool on Belgorod city territory

One of the main society tasks with the rapid development of industry is assigned to nature protection and correct use of natural resources. Therefore, a significant role is put to the hands of land use. Today, the mining industry in the Russian Federation is characterized by huge volumes of mining. The main production is carried out mainly due to the open method of work. The negative consequences of such developments are: taking of large land areas from the economic turnover, their violation in the course of work; changes in hydrogeology and landscapes; development of erosion processes, etc. Thus, as a result of mining operations, the areas of land disturbed by such developments, processing waste and mucks of rocks are rapidly increasing. Moreover, when mucks are formed, unnecessary rocks are mucked, without taking into account their suitability for reclamation, and when creating external mucks, the requirements of rational farming are not always taken into account. As a result, these lands become barren and negatively affect the environment. It follows from this that lands disturbed by open pit mining must be returned to economic circulation with minimal losses and the creation of favorable conditions for the environment. The work relevance lies in the study of work on the land restoration in quarries during their development and extraction of raw materials for construction purposes. Reclamation provides for the restoration of lands disturbed by quarrying, as well as the preservation of the already restored land.
