Spoil dumps and tailing dumps of mining enterprises are sufficiently serious sources of environmental pollution, including urban agglomerations. For ensuring the uniformity measurements, accompanying ecological and geological studies, it is necessary that the process of testing components of lithogenic sphere of the Earth, and all the measuring information, which is used to calculate the environmental factors and indicators that had been provided and metrological characteristics take into account peculiarities of ecological and geological studies and the appointment of the measurement results. There were considered the main features of the testing when receiving measurement (numerical) information describing the ecological state of the environment components. There was offered the method of calculation of environmental indicators which is based on the requirements of modern metrology and methods of mathematical statistics. Methodology was tested in assessment of ecological status of the territory as a result of anthropogenic impact of oil shale production at OJSC "Leningradslanets".
