§ 2
(K § 5 (1) of the Act)
(1) In the interests of intensive and rational use of agricultural land for agricultural production, users (owners) of agricultural land are required to:
(a) plan to cultivate and make proper use of agricultural land under natural and productive conditions;
(b) increase the intensity of agricultural production by applying state-of-the-art methods of agri-technology, introducing high-yield varieties of seeds and seed crops, good nutrition and the protection of agricultural crops, as well as the use of scientifically justified rotational practices with compliance with agri-technical deadlines, maintaining and increasing nutrient content in soil according to the results of soil analyses;
(c) plan to expand agricultural land, in particular arable land and to nationalise unused land, provided that natural and economic conditions are in place;
(d) implement and make full use of all types of meliorative measures (drainage and irrigation) and surface treatment of soil to improve soil characteristics, anchor meliorative and fertilisation measures in medium and implementation plans and implement them in the context of cooperation in agriculture as appropriate; (2) monitor the comprehensive protection of the water regime in the territory (capture of water in tanks, biological measures for watercourses, etc.).
(2) In particular, to fulfil the obligations referred to in paragraph 1, the following measures may be imposed on users (owners) of agricultural land:
(a) the fertilisation of agricultural parcels degraded by natural accident, shrubbery, contamination or stones, etc.,
(b) the removal of unnecessary journeys and movements or limits which have no anti-erosive significance;
(c) the introduction of appropriate anti-erosion procedures, the adaptation or establishment of anti-erosion limits, the creation of seeping belts or devices to reduce the speed and quantity of flowing water, the construction of water storage tanks and its use for irrigation purposes.
§ 3
(K § 7a (3) of the Act)
(1) The facts on the basis of which agricultural land may be withdrawn for afforestation purposes must be demonstrated by agronomic and soil-expert evaluation of the land according to the criteria set out in Annex 2 to this Decree.

§ 7
(K § 11 of the Act)
(1) Organisations engaged in mining or industrial activities shall:
(a) hide separately the upper cultural layer of the soil (ornias), or, where appropriate, a deeper-stored fertilisation capable of soil (spray, spray and landfill, tuphic clays, bentonites, oxyhumolites, etc.) on the area concerned by the operation and to ensure that they are properly used for the recovery of the destroyed areas and for the purposes of melioration, or, in economically justified cases, to ensure that they are transported and spread to areas intended to be nationalised by the authority which issued the decision pursuant to Article 14 of the Act, or to places designated by that authority for further processing; landfills of separately hidden soil must be established and registered by the mining or industrial organisation so that they can be used in the future;
(b) the use of surpluses of the ornice or, where appropriate, more deeply stored fertilisation of soil capable of fertilising soils which are not yet fertile or with low fertility, on which, by virtue of an agreement to carry out replacement reclamation, surface treatment (e.g. removal of stones, grubbing-up of bushes) has previously been carried out, as well as improving the quality and production capacity of other agricultural land by introducing and spreading the cultural layer of the soil. The capacity of the spread-out layer of soil shall be at least 10 cm after deduction of the flow. The authority responsible under Article 14 of the Act may, exceptionally, for reasons of special consideration, allow part of the cultural layer of the land to be used for greening other areas;
(c) the use of the cultural layer of the soil must be documented with a simple project and an economic evaluation, where there is a large scale of hiding;
(d) to smooth out the effects of mining on the entire destroyed area, in line with the surrounding landscape, taking into account both the economic use of the land in the vicinity and the creation of a natural environment, and to ensure that there is no harmful accumulation of gaseous and solid crops and disturbance of the landscape. In the areas of concentrated coal mining, discuss the concept of the location of the construction and the shape of the drains and drains, not only in terms of future use for reclamation, but also in terms of the creation of the natural environment.
(2) In addition to the obligations referred to in paragraph 1, mining organisations shall comply with the following measures:
(a) in the case of surface mining
1. to base the dispensation in a way that allows the surface to be settled and its subsequent reclamation. To this end, mining organisations are required to develop technical standards for the treatment of the surface of soils, which will be the basis for the transfer of areas for reclamation and for the economic evaluation of the different spillage methods in the areas of concentrated mining. In the case of dispensers, the average surface inequalities shall not exceed ± 1 m;
2. to base excess droughts on the loading ground in such a way as to ensure their stability and to allow the largest possible area to be used for their agricultural recovery. In doing so, account should also be taken of the hydrological ratios of the dump and of its subsoil and surrounding areas, in order to avoid pollution of the surrounding agricultural land. Against the effect of water erosion and to protect against slides, adjust the sloping slopes so that the slope angle ensures stability with regard to the mechanical properties of the droplets and the height of the droplets (the general slope of droplets should not exceed 1: 4, the slope of slopes 1: 2). At higher droplets, the slopes must be secured by terracing the general slope and a suitable spacing of the individual droplets. The slopes of the terraces must be properly adapted and ensured against water erosion (e.g. grubbing, planting of shrubs and suitable shrubs, technical means);
3. make available the runways by means of incoming roads, build a network of special purpose communications on the upper surface and in-fill stages, while maintaining the principles of anti-erosion protection;
4. to eliminate the consequences of non-organised soil spreading in areas concentrated on coal extraction also on old spillages by adjusting their slopes, by sprinkling these droppings, or directly by biological reclamation according to the given conditions;
5. to ensure that the water treatment in the soil is also adapted, the surface of the soils is aligned and adjusted so that agricultural machinery can be used on it, the crown of soils at least in the power of the vegetation layer to be made from earths where the conditions of fertilisation and gradual intensive management are established; to facilitate the leakage of precipitation water and to minimise its effluent to create an appropriate structural state of soil, such as biological reclamation, by growing suitable plant species;
6. adjust, in agreement with the water authorities, the total water regime on areas disturbed by extraction in order to eliminate the adverse effects of the drop in groundwater and allow for harmless drainage of surface water;
7. to ensure the cultivation of land for which the extraction of mineral resources is significantly disrupted, until such time as such land can be included in the organisation of the agricultural land fund after the completion of the extraction and, where appropriate, after the recovery of neighbouring land;
(b) in the case of deep-sea mining
1. reduce, if possible under the given technical and economic conditions, the decline in agricultural land (by the basis of the broken-down compositions, etc.);
2. in places of intensive declines and prior to the practice of drafts, to carry out a plot of cultivation capable of soil and to use it to reculate degraded undersown land and to adjust the drains which can be reclaimed on agricultural or forest land;
3. to make landscaping, to fill in with surpluses and to relay the topsoil for further agricultural use, on milder, unwatered soil declines;
4. on contaminated land, if affected by deep-sea mining and related activities, adjust the water regime either by drainage and treatment of damaged watercourses or by water treatment of flooded areas to fill with surpluses and cover with topsoil for further agricultural use and, if there are no surpluses, adjust the watercourses properly to multi-purpose water tanks, including the setting of banks with suitable vegetation.
(3) In addition to the obligations referred to in paragraph 1, industrial organisations shall, where their activities result in effluents of waste materials (ash complex, flotation noise, etc.), comply with the following measures:
(a) they have set up ash and slag mainly in the non-fertile terrain inequalities of natural and artificial (e.g. extracted quarries, sandstone and clay);
(b) to reduce dust dust in the construction of boulders to ensure the removal of spatula and slag in humidified condition; during the hydraulic mode of transport to ensure the cleaning of waste water from the drains and to avoid leakage of water into the surrounding soil. To build flat bays with well aligned surface, to keep the bead surfaces clean (wet); when the operation is interrupted (unless reflux is reclamated), fasten the surface layer with sufficient amounts of heavy earth mixtures;
(c) the areas intended for rolling shall be filled gradually so that the individual filling points can be reclaimed in due time;
(d) discharges permanently discarded and intended for agricultural use to be reclamated by relayering the cultural layer of the soil; to recuperate the use of its own eagles and, where appropriate, the excess of ornice cover and the fertilisation of capable earths from other businesses.
§ 8
(Paragraph 13a (2) of the Act)
(1) The reclamation plan must be targeted in such a way that the reclamated land serves primarily agricultural production; another method of reclamation is only permitted if agricultural reclamation is not possible.
(2) The recovery plan is divided into parts
(a) technical, specifying in particular the objective and method of landscaping the land, ditches and drains, hydrotechnical and hydromellioration measures, technical land melioration, the construction of incoming and operational roads, the quantities of land hidden and the use thereof;
(b) biological, indicating in particular the melliorological rotational process and the selection of crops, the method of cultivation, the fertilisation intensity of the cultivated soil.
(3) The recovery plan shall contain, in addition to the information referred to in paragraph 2:
(a) the time process of reclamation, indicated also on the map;
(b) the time limit for the completion of the reclamation and the declaration of the interest of which the agricultural land is to be withdrawn for the purpose of remedying defects arising within 5 years of the end of the reclamation;
(c) justification for another type of reclamation if agricultural reclamation is not possible.
§ 9
(Paragraph 13a (3) of the Act)
In order to give prior consent to the withdrawal of agricultural land from agricultural production for the purpose of mining mineral resources, the
(a) in the case of quarry (surface) extraction of coal in the areas of concentrated production of agricultural land required within the approved conquest area for a period of 5 years; this area does not include the area required for external droppings and batches;
(b) in the case of deep-sea mining of minerals, the area required for the construction of mining installations and plant operations, as well as the area of land for which the extraction of the bearing can be expected to destroy them, resulting in a drop in soil;
(c) in the case of surface mining of mineral materials for construction or industrial purposes (gravel, brick clay, kaolin, ceramic clays, limestone, stone, etc.), the area of agricultural land required within the quarrying area for a period of 10 years.
