For preservation of soil-vegetable cover quality, the prevention and decrease of negative technogenic impact it is necessary to exercise systematic control of land resources condition. Monitoring as a system of regular supervision over a state of environment for the identification purpose of anthropogenous effects and consequences and acceptance of the appropriate nature protection measures differs a wide set of various options of its realization depending on specific objectives, situations, terms, scales, intensity of influence.
The negative impact of mining on the environment is increasing annually. This is due to an objective increase in consumption of material resources by humanity. In today's mining output of finished goods is less than 10%, the rest of the volume represented by mining and processing wastes, which are assigned for the storage of hundreds of thousands of hectares of land. Chemical waste, as a rule, contain components which, being outdoors and being exposed to the impacts of climatic factors, can be transformed into new compounds, and to migrate hundreds of kilometers from the source.
The impact of metallurgy enterprises on the soil and vegetation cover increases every year. As a result, soil fertility decreases, heavy metals pollute the soil cover, etc. The main source of heavy metals getting into the soil cover is emissions. Heavy metals get into the soil with atmospheric precipitation and accumulate in it. The purpose of our research is to introduce soil and vegetation monitoring in the zone of influence of the Sevuralboksitruda enterprise, while the environmental department of the enterprise does not carry out real control.
