Abstract
The ecologic restoration criteria in areas degraded from extraction activities require making use of their mine spoils. These materials do not meet fertility conditions to guarantee restoration success and therefore need the incorporation of organic amendments to obtain efficient substratum. Reducing the deficiencies in the organic material and restoration material nutrients with the contribution of treated sewage sludge is proposed in this work. The work was conducted with two mine spoils from Sierra de Callosa quarries, both very rich in calcium carbonate. The first mineral, of poor quality, came from the formation of aggregates of crushed limestone. The other residual material examined originated in limestone extraction, formed by the levels of interspersed non-limestone materials and the remains of stripped soils.
