Corporate Responsibility For Environmental Protection And Management In Ex-Mining Land

Exploiting  natural resources must be based on an environmental approach. This is reasonable because environmental problems are closely related to the process of population growth,  which is the high demand for natural resources. One of the most widely used natural resources by humans for various purposes is coal. The negative impact of coal mining is that it triggers deforestation (deforestation) and exacerbates climate change. Therefore, in the exploration and exploitation management process, every mining material, especially coal, requires various AMDAL mechanisms as part of environmentally sound development management. Provisions regarding mineral and coal mining activities oblige mining companies to carry out reclamation and post-mining activities over the mining areas they manage. The scope of the implementation of reclamation activities starts from exploration, land clearing, excavation of topsoil and over burden, coal excavation, land management, revegetation including preparation of nurseries, and maintenance and evaluation of activity results. The implementation of reclamation is carried out no later than one month after there are no more mining business activities on disturbed land. Reclamation and post-mining activities are one of the obligations of mining business activities that should be taken into account.
