Abstract
The soil quality refers to a broad range of physical, chemical, and biological characteristics that maintain environmental quality, productivity, and microbial proliferation, the soil samples are collected from Gautham Khani Open Cast Mine it was located in Goutampur Village, Chunchupalli Madal, Badradri Kothagudem District in Telanagan State. The texture of the soil sample, physical properties like bulk density, porosity, water holding capacity as well as chemical properties like pH, electrical conductivity, organic carbon and macronutrients like N, P, K are analysed in the soil samples, As a result, the study analyzed soil samples and observed that study area soils need the restoration to improve the soil quality In order to evaluate the condition of the soil in coal mining sites for reclamation methods.
