Abstract In this paper the concept of environmental risk was investigated. The analysis of the field reconstruction stages and possible environmental risks at each of them was carried out. Risks are described according to the likelihood of their occurrence. Recommendations to reduce the likelihood of environmental risks and reduce their negative impact on the environment have been developed.
