Abstract

The article studies and analyzes the impact of military operations on the soil cover, in particular, damage and destruction of the fertile soil layer as a result of detonation of various explosive objects (missiles, bombs, artillery shells, etc.) and its contamination with heavy metals and other harmful substances. A method is proposed for the technical reclamation of damaged land as a result of bombing. It involves first cleaning the craters from damaged and contaminated soil with heavy metals and other hazardous substances. It is proposed to use a new working body for this purpose. If a dangerous concentration of heavy metals and other hazardous substances is found on the surface of the crater, the removed contaminated soil layer must be disposed of. If the removed layer of the sinkhole surface contains an acceptable concentration of contaminants, the removed layer can be left at the bottom of the funnel. A flexible screw conveyor with a sectional auger working body can be used to dispose of the removed contaminated soil layer. To restore the relief, it is necessary to backfill the craters, i.e. level the surface. After that, the land can be disked and cultivated, and plowed if necessary.
