Soil degradation takes place due to mining and industrial activities. The natural properties of soils which are capable of sustaining plants are altered due to such anthropogenic activities. Assessment of soil properties is necessary in these areas. Bolani and its adjoining areas are well known for iron ore mining and mineral based industries. Soil samples were collected from these areas to determine their physic-chemical properties. Analysis of soil samples was carried out following standard procedures. It is observed that majority of the soil samples of the study area show silt-loam texture, poor sorting, negative skewness and platykurtic nature.The bulk and particle densities of the soils vary from 1.1 to 2.5 g/cm3 and 2.267 to 4.578 g/cm3 respectively with variable porosities of 32.1 to 62.1%.The organic matter content and cation exchange capacity(CEC) of soils are low varying from 0.03 to 2.86% and 2.6 to 7.8 meq/100g respectively. Observations reveal mixing of wash outs from mining and mineral processing units affecting soil properties.
