Аннотация:The environmental impact of marl mining dumps in Novorossiysk city in Krasnodar Krai, Rus-sia is assessed. The contaminants released by urban enterprises and motor vehicle emissions and absorbed by fugitive dust from dumps make a geochemical anomaly of Pb, Sr, Cu, Zn, and Sn at geochemical barriers in soils. The accumulation of pollutants in soil depends on the type of land use and the local topography. The most contaminated aquatic landscapes have been identified in the inner bay. According to this information, the technical proposals for environ-mental safety management were prepared. At the technical stage of dump reclamation, slopes of the dumps will be covered with a three-dimensional erosion control mat. The subsequent hydroseeding will allow ensuring complete coverage and high strength of the slope surface in a short time and at the lowest cost. A method for reclamation of subhorizontal sites is radically different from the measures designed for slopes because the technical levelling stage is not re-quired for a fairly flat surface; based on the local flora characteristics Juniperus communis and Cotinus were chosen.
