The authors are concerned at the main environmental loads in the Podkrusnohori Region at the present article. These are especially brown coal mining, its electrical processing and its consequences on the landscape and air pollution which dominated in the second half of the 20th century. The intensity of these stresses and negative consequences has decreased after 1990 due to the numbers of proceedings, particularly of legislative character. Furthermore they characterize the service area (area of Chomutov, Most, Teplice and Usti nad Labem) on the strength of demographic, social-economic and natural conditions. Furthermore a lot of conclusions on the specifics of the North Bohemian brown coal basin were made, which are concerned as the main factors of environmental disturbance. The biggest problem of the Podkrusnohori Region is a brown coal mining which causes the most of the environmental loads here. The other problem is air pollution. Although its quality gets much better after the year 2000, it is not still as good as in other regions of the Czech Republic. Nevertheless the environmental loads is so high and the factor of environmental quality is substandard nowadays, that is why this service area, together with Ostrava Region, falls into the most affected ones from the environmental point of view. This paper culminates in the formulations of theoretical and methodological foundations of the reclamation of disturbed area. Reclamation processes are nowadays the next form of landscape recovery which takes up the reclamation.
