Cadastral estimation of agricultural lands contaminated by 137Cs

The paper describes the procedure of cadastral works of the identification of contaminated territories; the types and efficiency of measures of rehabilitation in order to reduce the contamination by 137Cs production to the appropriate level of sanitary and hygienic standards. On the example of the collective farms of the Krasnogorsk district of the Bryansk region (in which sandy, loamy, gley and peat soils dominate) affected by the Chernobyl accident, the assessment of cadastral estimation of agricultural lands contaminated with radionuclides is carried out. Cadastral estimation of arable lands, hayfields and pastures used for agricultural production is calculated. The cadastral value of agricultural land contaminated with radionuclides is calculated for arable land with crop zone rotation (grain, potatoes, annual grasses) and sections of hay-pasture use (perennial grasses). Studies are conducted both in local level (individual farms) and regional (the all area). It is shown, that cadastral estimation of agricultural land changes as follows: arable lands from 23 to 59 thousand rub/ha, hayfields and pastures from 75 to 86 thousand rub/ha in dependence on contamination levels of 137Cs and soil characteristics. The results of this research can be used by agriculture, cadastral engineer and investment-governmental companies operating in the field of agro-industrial complex on the contaminated areas.
