The largest damages and environment contamination are caused by the mining and mineral processing industries, as well as the power and chemical industries. That is why when we are speaking of damaged terrains reclamation and soils, first of all we understand reclamation from the impact of these anthropogenic activities. Reclamation places many questions from an economic, social, technical and scientific viewpoint. Reclamation is a complex approach to sustainable management of land degraded as a result of natural or anthropogenic activities. Reclamation of mining damaged landscape is a complex activity aimed to the land restoration for future rational and environmentally sound use. Restoration of damaged areas creates more productive anthropogenic landscapes and habitats of different species. Damaged mining terrains reclamation is a current and complex problem, as an individual approach to each specific object is needed. In recent years there has been a trend towards a humus negative balance. As a result, thousands of hectares of degraded land are deprived of conventional restoration processes that require humus use. This fact marks the beginning of a new technological approach to environmental management - “non-humus reclamation”. The aim of this paper is to broadly explore the properties of the anthropogenic soils from Vetovo region, Bulgaria, Kaolin AD. The soils are formed as a result of the accumulation earth material extracted with open pit mining. Scientific and research program has started to establish the opportunities for anthropogenic soils non-humus biological reclamation. The technogenic soil agrophysical properties were studied and determined. The aim of the program was restoring the function of damaged lands and balanced ecological systems creation. Lastly the conclusions are presented.
