Economical impact of mining is significant for the town Pyhäjärvi. The mine has had a remarkable impact on the area’s economic activity and its continuity and development. With the closure of the mine, part of the basis on which the companies have built their business will also disappear. The municipality, residents of the surrounding area, landowners, local entrepreneurs and the partnership of Lake Pyhäjärvi are taken into account in the stakeholder work.

On the southwest side of the mine there is an old moraine intake area, from which Pyhäsalmi Mine used moraine to cover one of the tailings bond at the turn of the millennium. A fitness track goes around the area. Pyhäsalmi Mine built a bird observation tower in the area in 2023.

To the west of the mine, on the shore of Lake Pyhäjärvi, there is a boat dock and a beach renovated by Pyhäsalmi Mine Oy. The area is in free use.

Landscape values ​​have been taken into account in the company’s operations and closure plan. Lanscaping have been carried out during the operation, e.g. the decommissioned pond A has been covered and landscaped right after its use was ended.

A landscaping plan has been drawn up for the incoming moraine intake area in the cooperation with stakeholders. Seedlings were planted in the protection zone of the incoming moraine intake area in 2023.
