The paper presents the results of a study of the ecological state of rock dumps and repositories of processed gold-bearing ore in the course of open-pit mining of gold deposits in the Chelyabinsk region. According to remote sensing data and analytical calculations, it was established that the rate of reclamation of disturbed lands lags behind the rate of their withdrawal for the needs of gold mining enterprises. In parallel with this, low levels of vegetation cover restoration coefficients were revealed on waste dumps.
