Abstract

The issue of development of deposits in the areas of liquidated mines has been the subject of business activities in Poland for a number of years. This state is undoubtedly influenced by the fact that the Polish energy industry is based on coal and the needs of the steel industry for coking coal. The article presents the basic environmental problems that should be taken under consideration in the areas of re-utilized hard coal deposits. On the basis of selected examples the environmental conditions necessary to be taken into account when planning the re-development of hard coal deposits have been discussed.
