Location
The satellite photo below shows the location of CSA Mine, located in the North Bohemian Basin region of the Czech Republic, where Lake Komořany formally existed.[1]
Background
Sev.en Energy operates CSA.[2] Pavel Tykac is the "sole ultimate beneficiary" of Sev.en Energy, formally known as Czech Coal.[3]
The USGS reports that production of the CSA Mine operates at approximately 5.2 million tonnes a year and is scheduled to in approximately 2020. However, it notes that "the Czech Coal Group claimed that if restrictions are lifted, the mine could operate until at least 2061. The expansion of the mine would require the relocation of the residents of Cernice and Horni Jirentin." The USGS also reports that the Vrsany coal mine has current production rates of about 7.9 Mt/yr and is "expected to be able to continue operations until 2052."[4]
Sev.en notes "Should those restrictions remain in place by 2020, operations are due to end around 2024, after which work will start on mothballing or reclaiming the mine."[2] If operations end, the pit may be made into a lake.[5]
