Abstract
The article is devoted to the substantiation of the line of action for reclamationof disturbed lands. The object of reclamation is a land plot (Russia, Leningrad Region), disturbed as a result of unauthorized open-pit mining operations for the extraction of limestone. In order to obtain the information necessary to justify the reclamation project, the following works were carried out: reconnaissance and route observations, topographic, geological, and environmental surveys of the land. Based on the results of the generalized study data of the environmental and economic justification, a line of action for agricultural reclamation was chosen. In addition, an assessment of the estimated cost of the event was carried out and a list of necessary works was proposed within the framework of the technical and biological stages of reclamation.

The results of economic activities of the past years may reflect the growth of industrial production and the level of responsibility for negative consequences
The aim of this study is to justify the line of action for reclamation of land plots disturbed as a result of unauthorized opencast mining (OCM) operations for the extraction of limestone
Based on the information on the land plot category, data obtained during the inventory of disturbed areas and the study of their actual state, as well as taking into account the opinion of the owner of the land, the agricultural line of action was chosen for reclamation [9]
Summary
The results of economic activities of the past years may reflect the growth of industrial production and the level of responsibility for negative consequences. The main danger of land degradation processes is associated with the impossibility of their further use and their withdrawal from economic circulation, in other words, the formation of disturbed lands. To eliminate such negative consequences of economic activity, it is necessary to carry out a set of works aimed at restoring land, as well as improving the state of the land resources. Such measures to prevent land degradation and (or) restore their fertility are called reclamation of disturbed lands. The purpose of reclamation is to bring disturbed lands into a condition suitable for their use in accordance with their intended purpose, including by eliminating the consequences of soil pollution, restoring the fertile soil layer, and creating protective forest plantations
