Abstract— The article presents the study’s results of the problem of developing theoretical foundations for assessing the impact of tin ore processing wastes stored in the Vysokogorskoye tailing dump (Primorsky Territory). The object of the study was the natural mining industrial systems of the Kavalerovsky tin ore region of the Primorsky Territory of the Far Eastern Federal District (FEFD). Based on comprehensive studies of the surface of the tailing dump, an assessment of the scale of environmental damage accumulated in the last century by the closed Khrustalnensky MPP is presented. The peculiarities of the migration of pollutants in environmental objects are studied, and the regularities of their anthropogenic pollution are revealed. A new method of rehabilitating the surface of a tailing dump containing toxic waste using the potential of biological systems has been proposed.
