The problems of reclamation of lands disturbed as a result of the construction and operation of linear facilities (using pipeline transport as an example)

Аmosova А.А., Vasilieva D.I., Samarina О.А., Kholopov Yu.А. 

This paper examines the key stages of the land restoration process, when land productivity declines during the construction or reconstruction of linear facilities (using pipeline transport infrastructure as an example), as well as emergency situations, such as oil pipeline ruptures. Based on the example of Samara oblast, statistical data on disturbed lands of the region are analyzed, of which 37 thousand ha (about 0.6%) are occupied by pipeline transport. The choice of technology for the
restoration of disturbed lands should be based on their intended use. In particular, for Samara oblast, it is recommended to use agricultural techniques for restoring damaged properties of degraded soils: activation of native soil microflora, soil treatment with sorbents and biological products, bioremediation.
