text-align: justify; margin: 0;\"><strong>Introduction<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-size: 14px; text-align: justify; margin: 0;\">In the modern world there are a significant number of diverse environmental problems.\u00a0 One of the most urgent is the problem of solid municipal waste management (MSW).<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-size: 14px; text-align: justify; margin: 0;\">Despite development of processing and incineration technologies, the basic procedure to handle municipal waste remains to be disposed of at landfills that occupy large areas and have a long-term negative impact on the environment.\u00a0 In this regard, the planning of the territorial distribution of such facilities should be carried out not without information about complex of climatic and geoecological factors of the region.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-size: 14px; text-align: justify; margin: 0;\">Currently, 321 MSW facilities (landfills, authorized and unauthorized landfills) with a total area of 568.\u00a016 hectares are operating in the Voronezh region.\u00a0 17 licensed municipal solid waste landfills are located in 15 municipalities and occupy 184.\u00a03\u00a0hectares of land (Fig.\u00a0 1).\u00a0 About 1038 thousand tons of waste are disposed on them, mainly without preliminary sorting [1,2].<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-size: 14px; text-align: justify; margin: 0;\">On the territory of 19 municipalities that do not have MSW facilities included in the SRWDF (State register of waste disposal facilities), waste is disposed of in authorized and unauthorized landfills, or taken out of the municipalities where it was generated.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-size: 14px; text-align: justify; margin: 0;\">Location of MSW landfills based on their binding to large sources of waste generation.\u00a0 Most of these facilities are concentrated in the western part of the Voronezh region.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-size: 14px; text-align: justify; margin: 0;\">This study is concluded in order to regionalize territory of the Voronezh region on the basis of the analysis of geoecological factors that significantly affect the environmental safety of MSW landfills, as well as develop recommendations on priority areas for assessing the conditions of disposal and environmental monitoring of waste storage facilities.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-1679\" src=\"http:\/\/geopolitika.cfuv.ru\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/1-2.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"100%\" srcset=\"https:\/\/geopolitika.cfuv.ru\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/1-2.png 923w, https:\/\/geopolitika.cfuv.ru\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/1-2-300x243.png 300w, https:\/\/geopolitika.cfuv.ru\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/1-2-768x622.png 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 923px) 100vw, 923px\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-size: 14px;

text-align: justify; margin: 0;\">Analysis of the natural landscape conditions of Voronezh region allowed us to identify 6 districts with different conditions for the placement of MSW landfills (Fig.\u00a0\u00a02, Table\u00a01).<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-size: 14px; text-align: justify; margin: 0;\">The territory of the northwestern region has a flat character and varying degrees of dissection.\u00a0 The location of the district is the Central Russian Upland.\u00a0 The watersheds are often flat.\u00a0 River valleys are usually narrow and deeply incised; floodplains and floodplain terraces are poorly developed due to the high density of karst Upper Devonian limestones prevailing here.\u00a0 Such a geological structure requires additional measures to protect the base of the landfill from destruction.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-size: 14px; text-align: justify; margin: 0;\">The dense ravine-girder network, which arose due to water erosion, also complicates the construction of waste disposal facilities.\u00a0 The width of specific beams is small \u2014 15\u201350 m, they are mainly canyon-shaped.\u00a0 Among the soils, gray forest and podzolized chernozems predominate.\u00a0 In this region, the maximum amount of precipitation falls for the region, which leads to increased accumulation of leachate.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-1680\" src=\"http:\/\/geopolitika.cfuv.ru\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/2-1.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"100%\" srcset=\"https:\/\/geopolitika.cfuv.ru\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/2-1.png 722w, https:\/\/geopolitika.cfuv.ru\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/2-1-300x258.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 722px) 100vw, 722px\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-size: 14px;

text-align: justify; margin: 0;\">In the Northeast region, the region has the lowest rainfall infiltration rates to the groundwater level of 2.\u00a04%.\u00a0 At the same time, in many parts of the area close to the surface there is a water rush, waterlogging of lands and suffusion are observed.\u00a0 In the spring, the overhead connects to surface waters and can be contaminated with leachate from landfills.\u00a0 Therefore, it is important in this area to protect accumulated waste from contact with snowmelt.\u00a0 For this, it is possible to recommend the construction of protective shafts around the landfill.\u00a0 When placing the landfill, waterlogged areas and suffusion saucers should be avoided.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-size: 14px; text-align: justify; margin: 0;\">The suitability of beams for the construction of landfills depends on the composition of the relief-forming rocks: in river valleys, where dense glacial loams are eroded, the beams have a considerable width and gentle slopes composed of loose rocks.\u00a0 There are also beams formed in glacial loams, their width is smaller, they have outlets of groundwater.\u00a0 If there are no underground water outlets in the beam, then the MSW landfill can also be located in it.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-size: 14px; text-align: justify; margin: 0;\">The southeastern region is located on the Kalach Upland.\u00a0 Among the relief-forming rocks, glacial loams, sands and clays of the Paleogene, chalk of the Turonian layer and marl of Santon dominate.\u00a0 The elevation is significant, the ravine-beam network is dense.\u00a0 The Kalach Upland is a plain strongly divided by ravines and gullies.\u00a0 The rivers have a high floodplain with a deeply embedded channel and left-bank terraces up to a kilometer wide.\u00a0 The average density of the beam network is 1.\u00a02\u00a0km\u202f\/\u202fkm<sup>2<\/sup>, (ravine up to 2 km\u202f\/\u202fkm<sup>2<\/sup>).\u00a0 Beams are mainly short, with steep slopes.\u00a0 The watersheds, as in the Southern region, are often remnants, in this case arising from karst processes occurring simultaneously with the fluvial ones.\u00a0 Among the soils, leached chernozems, typical, ordinary, are common.\u00a0 The most favorable conditions for the placement of landfills are on the watersheds of the area, where Paleogene clays act like a\u00a0 protective screen.\u00a0 A small annual amount of precipitation in the area contributes to a reduced formation of leachate at landfills.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-1683\" src=\"http:\/\/geopolitika.cfuv.ru\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/5.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"100%\" srcset=\"https:\/\/geopolitika.cfuv.ru\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/5.jpg 1145w, https:\/\/geopolitika.cfuv.ru\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/5-300x207.jpg 300w, https:\/\/geopolitika.cfuv.ru\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/5-768x530.jpg 768w, https:\/\/geopolitika.cfuv.ru\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/5-1024x707.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1145px) 100vw, 1145px\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-size: 14px;

text-align: justify; margin: 0;\"><strong>Conclusions<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-size: 14px; text-align: justify; margin: 0;\">Most of the landfills are located within the central and western geo-ecological regions.\u00a0 The underlying rocks of these territories are characterized by the predominance of sand and chalk deposits.\u00a0 Landfill construction in these areas should include mandatory and priority measures to protect underlying rocks and groundwater from leachate infiltration.\u00a0 Planning for the location of long-term waste storage facilities should take into account the likelihood of karst processes.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-size: 14px; text-align: justify; margin: 0;\">The most suitable for the construction of polygons relief-forming rocks have a northeast natural landscape region.\u00a0 Groundwater is protected here by loamy and clayey rocks, however, there is a risk of waterlogging of the land and the development of suffusion processes, which must be taken into account first of all when choosing the location of the MSW landfill and taking appropriate environmental measures at the operating facilities.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-size: 14px; text-align: justify; margin: 0;\">An environmental monitoring system in the landfill sites should be built taking into account the natural landscape zoning and the priority of potentially dangerous geo-ecological conditions.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-size: 14px; text-align: justify; margin: 0;\">So, in areas with unprotected groundwaters (western and central regions), the priority direction of monitoring is monitoring the status of groundwater, as well as the processes of filtrate penetration into groundwater.\u00a0 In the eastern regions, the priority direction of monitoring should be the control of territory pollution by the surface runoff of the landfill.\u00a0 Monitoring the state of atmospheric air at the landfill and within its sanitary protection zone is especially necessary in the northwestern and western regions in connection with the movement of a large volume of air masses in the direction of densely populated areas.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-size: 14px; text-align: justify;\">The results of the studies are recommended for use to optimize territorial planning and environmental policy in the processes of forming a resource-saving waste management system in the territory of the Voronezh region.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-size: 14px;
