The Radovesice dump is the most extensive dump of the Severoceské doly a.s. and one of the largest dump in the Czech Republic. Overburden dumping was completed here in the year 2003. Technical and biological reclamation, mostly forestry, reclamation, is taking place in the area presently. Difficulties during the reclamation of the Radovesice dump are caused by the large area of the dump and mostly adverse properties of dumped material. The paper summarizes the history, present, and perspective of the reclamation of the Radovesice dump. A special emphasis is focused on the application of modern reclamation methodology, especially application of marls and establishment of sites left to a natural succession. Two experimental succession sites are the greatest succession sites in the Czech Republic presently and their research is very important. Some research results are presented in this paper.
