The principle of the integral approach to environmental protection requires harmonised legal acts (laws) in a number of fields of social action, thus creating clear grounds in relation to jurisdiction, higher sphere of social action and sanctioning of failure in implementation of the prescribed measures. Such grounds are still non-existing in the Federation of BH, and it is probably that the situation will remain unchanged in the upcoming period. This is specifically related to the issues of damaged land in the areas of mining activities, where large areas with technogenous land are accummulated. Re-cultivation of these areas is not only a legal obligation, which ends with preparation of the project documentation, but also a chance for thousands of hectares to be restored in the function and in the development strategies with the most appropriate intended use.
