Technologies of Mining Landscape Formation in Depleted Breakstone Quarries with due Account of Geoecological Purposes

Abstract

There was offered defined dependence of deviation degree for environmental performance of flat and sloping lot of open-pit side from indices of natural landscapes, locating in close vicinity to deposit’s mining site by means of computation of specific mass of “environmentally neglected” (without vegetation) sites (quarry elements) in common structure of borrow excavation area after 10-12 years period. There were presented results of geoecological grounding of production techniques for open-pit mining, allowing forming elements of non-mining flank of opencast with dimensions, promoting accelerated appearance of vegetation, as well as providing sound annual rate of growth of tree and shrub vegetation. There was substantiating application of man-made potting soil on the entire area of man-made landscape, for the purpose of carrying out of disturbed lands recultivation.
