The peat reserve of 0.11 million  tons are registered as economic probably  reserves of well-decomposed peat (Orru, 1995). There are 29 ha of fen deposit and 41 ha of mixed- bog deposit. The fen deposit occurs in the outskirts of the bog and consists of wood-sedge and sedge-Hypnum  peat. The deposit has a medium thickness (0.5 m), a degree of decomposition is 25%,  ash content is 6.5% and a moisture content is 88%. The mixed- bog deposit covers the middle part of the bog. At the bottom of the profile, the degree of decomposition of the moss peat is 25%, at the top there is well-decomposed (50%) wood bog peat. The thickness of the deposit is 1.1 ... 2.0 m, ash content is 2.6%, moisture content is 93% (Orru et al., 1975). It is recommended to leave it in its natural state.
