Geo-ecological characterization of the Tom flood-plain and terrace above it for construction purposes

Abstract

The presents engineering and environmental surveys on the environmental components such as soil and vegetation cover, atmospheric air, fauna. These surveys are conducted for the new proposed construction sites locating in the floodplain of the Tom River and the terrace above the floodplain. The purpose of the work is to obtain the necessary amount of base-line data for geo-ecological characterization of the current state of the environment. The engineering and ecological surveys show that the considered sites are suitable for a construction and do not provide geo-ecological, economic and social negative consequences.
