Concept of mining landscape rehabilitation

Abstract

The article explores the concept of mining landscape rehabilitation during the period after the development of mineral deposits. It is a system of actions that allows reinserting mining landscape facilities in the national economy and to generate normal living conditions for the affected population. The paper analyzes the ecological state of the territory heavily impacted by a mining network facility and proves the necessity of rehabilitation. Positive implementation experience and high ecological and economical efficiency were demonstrated through the example of a facility in the Sverdlovsk region. Ecological and economic efficiency lies in the fact that after working out, for example, a career and its reclamation, there comes a so-called post-reclamation period. In the post-reclamation period, the recultivated object should not have a negative impact on the components of the environment, and also have environmental efficiency (that is, have a positive impact on the components of the environment), as well as bring economic profit to the object owner.
