The problem of water and soil pollution in coastal of the Bor River downstream from the Flotation tailing dump Bor dating back to the seventies of the last century. This work gives a selection of optimal method for rehabilitation of degraded areas of the Bor River coast. The four possible methods were discussed for rehabilitation of degraded areas, and the choice of the best was done using a multi-criteria analysis. In addition, the Electra method was used that allowed the selection of optimal rehabilitation methods taking into account the five criteria that cover the most important aspects of this problem solution. Based on the obtained result, the optimal rehabilitation method was adopted that involves formation the neutral buffer zone of waste lime, filler, minimum height of 0.1 m above the endangered surface by flotation tailings and filling up the humus layer, height of 0.5 m above the limestone filler.
