Order No. 99 of the Minister of Ecology, Geology and Natural Resources validating the Regulation for reclamation of disturbed land plots on land of state forest fund and their transfer to the forest owner during uranium mining by in-situ leaching.

This Order establishes the procedure for reclamation of disturbed land plots on land of state forest fund and their transfer to the forest owner during uranium mining by in-situ leaching. Uranium mining by in-situ leaching on land of state forest fund is carried out without their transfer to the land of other categories with further reclamation of disturbed land plots and their transfer to the forest owner in the manner determined by this Regulation. Subsoil users when using plots of the state forest fund for uranium mining by in-situ leaching during the first three years of subsoil development, shall carry out compensatory planting of forest plantations in double the size of the used site and their keeping before conversion to covered forest area. For planting of forest plantations, standard planting material and seedlings shall be used, allowing to ensure the reliability of forest species and to reduce the need for agrotechnical care for them and accelerate the transfer of forest crops to forest-covered land.
