The management of topsoil layers involves preserving it, which is rich in organic matter, microorganisms, and essential nutrients. It is noteworthy that it can take between 100 to 1,000 years to form just 1 centimeter of humus-rich soil.
The implementation of any infrastructural project (and not only) often requires the removal of topsoil layers. However, both international standards and local legislation, particularly the technical regulations approved by the Government of Georgia's Decree No. 424 on December 31, 2013, on the "Removal, Storage, Use, and Reclamation of Topsoil Layers," strictly define the procedures for soil cutting and storage.
During the preparatory construction phase of the Bakhvi HPP project, the topsoil layer that has been removed is stored in a specially designated area and will be returned to its original location upon the project's completion.
