Extreme care must be taken to minimize the impact of „Bogdanka” mine on the natural environment owing to its location. The whole infrastructure of the mine and the mine – field „Puchaczów IV” is surrounded by protected areas. Poleski National Park and Łęczna Lake District Landscape Park (Park Krajobrazowy Pojezierze Łęczyńskie) are situated in its nearest vicinity. The scope of the mine – field from the northern side encompasses small parts of aforesaid Landscape Park buffer zone and from the north – east side – Poleski Area of Protected Landscape and from the south – eastern side - Chełmski Area of Protected Landscape transforming into ecological corridor „Świnka Valley” running in latidude direction i.e. westwards to the west boundary of the mine – field and connecting with Nadwieprzański Landscape Park (Nadwieprzański Park Krajobrazowy) in vicinity of Łęczna.

The mine does not create any ecological hazard as a result of its impact on natural environment. Thanks to the monitoring carried out since more than 25 years, the majority of mechanisms of the influence of mining activity on the nature condition in the surrounding of mine – field, particularly the mechanisms of water circulation, displacements of pollutions etc., have been detected. Owing to the areas situated north of the mine – field and encompassed by the nature protection in connection with their exceptional water and peat land values, the impact of the mine on hydrosphere and ground surface must be minimized. In order to minimize its impact on environment, the mine initiated several initiatives, including the introduction of the Environment Management System under PN-EN ISO 14001. However all elements of natural environment are influenced by „Bogdanka” like by any other large or small mine.

Lubelski Węgiel „Bogdanka” S.A., undertaking several initiatives in the of natural environment protection, makes efforts in order to comply with the sustained development principle which has been clearly emphasised in the ecological policy of our country.
