The data on the territorial features of the investigated area, flora and fauna are presented. The morphological composition of wastes present in the soil is analyzed, as well as the results of laboratory studies. The results of studies on the content of heavy metals in the soil (bulk and mobile forms) and data on bacteriology (enterococci, bacteria of the Escherichia coli group, helminths, cysts of pathogenic intestinal protozoa) are shown. The authors put forward recommendations on the methods of reclamation of this territory.
