Abstract

Managing environmental risks of any mining activities is critical factor during mining operation, mine closure and post closure periods. Mine closure can be temporarily or permanently. Uncertainty associated with the post closure phase of mining lease, it is crucial to adopt sound management practices during this period to achieve sustainable landscape to give further benefit after mining operation has ended. One of mining company at Central Bengkulu experiences unexpected closure. The question is how the affected area by mining can be used for further usage. The goal of this research is to assess the closure criteria based on mine closure regulation. Data were collected from any stage of operation according to mine closure assessment, especially from rehabilitation sites, infrastructure, purifying and supporting facilities. The result indicate that rehabilitation sites shows partial re-vegetation of affected areas (dumping site and in-pit back filling site), some infrastructure were not dismantled and the areas of supporting facilities (e.g. Fuel Station) still need further soil remediation, and the hauling roads were needed the people for transportation usage. Overall score is still below acceptable range of “good closure” and need to be examined and supervised if the areas projected to have economic value after mining.
