The situation in Northern Bohemia is enshrined in legislation by the “Territorial limits of the mining of the brown coal in Northern Bohemia” which were adopted in 1991 <ref>http://cs.wikipedia.org/wiki/%C3%9Azemn%C3%AD_limity_t%C4%9B%C5%BEby_hn%C4%9Bd%C3%A9ho_uhl%C3%AD_v_severn%C3%ADch_%C4%8Cech%C3%A1ch</ref>.  Now, the whole discussion about “breaking the limits” is also influenced by the situation in Northern Moravia, where the “Paskov” black coal mine is slated to close in 2014. In fact, changing the limits could be achieved by the newly elected government, but academics have already published an opinion that breaking the limits is not necessary and the social situation could be resolved by supporting other types of business that do not damage the environment, as well as human health <ref>http://usti.idnes.cz/neprolamujte-limity-0rp-/usti-zpravy.aspx?c=A130926_1981700_usti-zpravy_hrk</ref>.

In connection with mining is always the question arises and it is: how to effectively restore territory,which was damaged by the mining? Since 1992, the mining companies in the Czech republic are obliged to restore place, which are mined by them. This proces is called restoration.  How does it work? Even before restoration work must be clear, how the landscape will be used in the future. It is usually decided in collaboration with planning, municipalities, public authorities, but also with the general public precisely by the legal procedure. Most of the restoration projects has two main phases:
1) In the first (technical) part, it is necessary to remove the damaged remains of the greenery and the top layer of soil. Greenery will be returned after completion of shaping the landscape. It is also  necessary to solve the question of effective drainage of the area and utilities.
2) The second (biological) part then includes the returning of the green.
But there are scientist, who claimed that restoration in many cases damage the environment even further, so the result is the opposite. <ref>http://www.bc.cas.cz/zajimavosti.php?vedci-rekultivace-lomu-casto-poskozuji-prirodu</ref>. So where is the truth? In fact the problem is that although  there is a law for mining companies that they have to restore the mined place, there isn't any law which would say that the mining company have to choose the most efficient restoration. So most of the companies choose the cheapest way, which isn't usually the best one. This leads to cases, in which is the enviroment being damaged even more. The successful restoration means a deep research of the place, which needs to be restored, in which will be involved experts from various fields. And then rational decisions about how best to restore the landscape with regards to the future development of the region (not only ecological but also economic and social). And that is the main problem of the Czech republic
