An embankment lined with trees and shrubs will reduce the impact of coal mining in Poland’s Turow mine on residents of municipalities on the Czech side of the border. the embankment will be 1,012 meters long, five meters high and 20 meters wide. About 10,000 trees will be planted there. Residents of Uhelná, the nearest village to the mine, among others, will not have to see the mine as the embankment will block the view. Once preparations are complete, construction of the embankment is expected to begin this fall.
