Abstract.Complex effect on the soil system is one of the main negative effects of coal mine operation. Therefore there is a need to study causes and effects of soil disturbance in the coal-mining regions for the timely development and implementation of conservation efforts.

The paper analyzes the causes and effects of such soil disturbance in the coal-mining regions of Ukraine. Priority factors that intensify processes of soil salinity in areas of coal mines operation are identified. A scheme of soil sampling in areas of mine water storage ponds is grounded. Salt content in the soil is analyzed by quality and quantity. Content of heavy metals in the soils is studied. Ecological state, type and degree of soil salinity in areas of ponds of mine water storage are presented. Measures are proposed to reduce environmental hazard caused by secondary salinization of soils in areas of coal mining.

Keywords: coal mines, mine water, soil salinization.
