In the Liberecký Region, the regional government is contributing approximately three million CZK toward a 58 million CZK project to remediate contamination at the EMBA paper mill in Pasekách nad Jizerou. The project targets sludge containing petroleum substances and heavy metals, such as copper, cadmium, nickel, and lead, located in a millrace connected to the Jizera River. Simultaneously, broader revitalization efforts are underway in Hradec Králové and Liberec. In Hradec Králové, the state enterprise Povodí Labe has initiated an eight million CZK project to restore the Holštejn dead arm of the Orlice River by removing sediment and creating new aquatic biotopes. In Liberec, urban riverfront improvements include the completion of a new promenade along the Lusatian Neisse, converting former parking areas into recreational park spaces. ## Timeline ### 2026-10-24: Czech environmental projects revitalize river landscapes in Hradec Králové and Liberec Environmental and urban revitalization projects in the Czech Republic are restoring river ecosystems in Hradec Králové and creating new public riverside parks in Liberec. 2 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/czech-environmental-projects-revitalize-river-landscapes-in-hradec-krlov-and-liberec ### 2026-10-10: Liberecký kraj funds environmental cleanup at EMBA paper mill Liberecký kraj will contribute 3 million CZK toward a 58 million CZK project to remediate industrial pollution at the EMBA paper mill in Pasekách nad Jizerou. 3 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/libereck-kraj-funds-environmental-cleanup-at-emba-paper-mill --- Cite as: Czech environmental remediation and river revitalization.
