The Status

This publication is devoted to the research of Russian legal regulation of environmental quality standards. So in the article the concept, functions and types of this group of environmental standards were investigated. Particular attention is paid to the controversial, problematic issues of the commented legal institution. As a result of the study, the author came to the conclusion that legislation on this field of environmental protection is developing rapidly. Meanwhile, many more environmental issues remain beyond the scope of the legal solution. So, the author found that there is no exhaustive, statutory list of physical indicators that are subject to state standardization. Commented standards are dispersed in a huge number of regulatory and technical acts, which are not ordered in any way. For the most part, many environmental quality standards are aimed at protecting human health. Physical standards of quality in the field of flora and fauna are practically absent. The article contains proposals for improving environmental legislation in the considered area.

Environmental Quality Standards

Mining activities can include exploration, exploitation, production, refining, and selling. Mining can be converted into business land in accordance with the industrial revolution, which is 4.0 (four point zero). Bali Island has the potential of C excavated material located in Karangasem Regency. Existing mining due to the eruption of Mount Agung is used by the community to produce tradable materials. The purpose of this study is to examine environmental quality standards as instruments for environmental control of the C excavation case in Karangasem Regency. This research uses normative legal research methods. The approach used is the statutory and conceptual approach. The legal materials used are primary, secondary, and tertiary sources of law. Legal material analysis techniques use description and argumentation. The results of the study indicate environmental quality standards as a boundary measure of environmental pollutant elements. The case of excavation C in Karangasem Regency, the provincial government and the regional government worked together to issue a Mining Business Permit Regulation as a legal regulation that must be obeyed by business people and the community in the excavation environment C. That it has been prohibited from excavating non-metal minerals and rocks in the area with an altitude higher than 500 meters above sea level and curbing the stone mining permit area within the province and sea area for up to 12 miles. Implementation of environmental preservation includes: first, prevention; second, prevention; and third, recovery as a preventive measure for environmental pollution due to mining activities in C. Kegiatan pertambangan dapat meliputi eksplorasi, eksploitasi, produksi, pemurnian, serta penjualan. Seperti yang saat ini diterapkan bahwa pertambangan bisa dijadikan lahan bisnis sesuai revolusi industri yaitu 4.0 (four point zero). Sehingga dengan perkembangan revolusi industri saat ini terdapat berbagai sektor perekonomian salah satunya sektor pertambangan. Pulau Bali memiliki potensi bahan galian C yang terletak di Kabupaten Karangasem. Pertambangan yang ada akibat letusan Gunung Agung dimanfaatkan oleh masyarakat yang pengelolaannya dilakukan dengan penggalian sehingga menghasilkan bahan material yang dapat diperjualbelikan. Tujuan dari studi ini adalah mengkaji baku mutu lingkungan sebagai instrumen pengendalian lingkungan hidup kasus galian C di Kabupaten Karangasem. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode penelitian hukum normatif. Pendekatan yang digunakan adalah pendekatan perundang-undangan dan pendekatan konsep. Bahan hukum yang digunakan yaitu sumber bahan hukum primer, skunder dan tersier. Teknik analisis bahan hukum yang digunakan adalah teknik deskripsi dan teknik argumentasi. Hasil studi menunjukkan baku mutu lingkungan sebagai ukuran batas unsur pencemar lingkungan. Kasus galian C di Kabupaten Karangasem pemerintah provinsi dan pemerintah daerah saling bersinergi  menerbitkan Perda Ijin Usaha Pertambangan sebagai aturan yuridis yang wajib ditaati oleh pelaku usaha dan masyarakat di lingkungan galian C. Bahwa telah dilarang melakukan penggalian bahan mineral bukan logam dan batuan pada kawasan dengan ketinggian lebih dari 500 meter diatas permukaan laut dan menertibkan Wilayah Ijin Usaha Pertambangan batuan dalam wilayah provinsi dan wilayah laut sampai 12 (duabelas) mil. Selain itu dilaksanakannya pelestarian lingkungan hidup meliputi: pertama, pencegahan; kedua, penanggulangan; dan ketiga pemulihan sebagai tindakan pencegahan pencemaran lingkungan yang diakibatkan dari aktivitas pertambangan galian C.

Reclamation Area

In Mohoni Village, East Petasia District, North Morowali Regency there are nickel mining activities that are carried out by PT. Asiamax Mining Indonesia. Several locations were mine out status. Hence, reclamation programs are made to improve environmental conditions before mining. One of these stages is water quality tests to ensure that the reclamation area is worthy to be a habitat for animals and plants. The purpose of this study is to find out the water quality in the reclamation area of the ex-nickel mining in Mohoni Village. The storet method is used to analyze water quality whose test parameters include pH, total suspanded solid (TSS), concentrations of copper (Cu), cadmium (Cd), zinc (Zn), lead (Pb), nickel (Ni), chromium valence 6, iron (Fe), manganese (Mn), and cobalt (Co) once every three months for a year.The quality water check results are compared with the environmental quality standards in accordance with law number 32 of 2009. Based on the average monitoring results show that the water quality is classified as moderately polluted. The conclusion from this study is that reclamation land might be not used as habitat for animals and plants because the availability of water is not suitable for consumption

Abstract. A regional overview of the water quality and ecology of the River Lee catchment is presented. Specifically, data describing the chemical, microbiological and macrobiological water quality and fisheries communities have been analysed, based on a division into river, sewage treatment works, fish-farm, lake and industrial samples. Nutrient enrichment and the highest concentrations of metals and micro-organics were found in the urbanised, lower reaches of the Lee and in the Lee Navigation. Average annual concentrations of metals were generally within environmental quality standards although, on many occasions, concentrations of cadmium, copper, lead, mercury and zinc were in excess of the standards. Various organic substances (used as herbicides, fungicides, insecticides, chlorination by-products and industrial solvents) were widely detected in the Lee system. Concentrations of ten micro-organic substances were observed in excess of their environmental quality standards, though not in terms of annual averages. Sewage treatment works were the principal point source input of nutrients, metals and micro-organic determinands to the catchment. Diffuse nitrogen sources contributed approximately 60% and 27% of the in-stream load in the upper and lower Lee respectively, whereas approximately 60% and 20% of the in-stream phosphorus load was derived from diffuse sources in the upper and lower Lee. For metals, the most significant source was the urban runoff from North London. In reaches less affected by effluent discharges, diffuse runoff from urban and agricultural areas dominated trends. High microbiological content, observed in the River Lee particularly in urbanised reaches, was far in excess of the EC Bathing Water Directive standards. Water quality issues and degraded habitat in the lower reaches of the Lee has led to impoverished aquatic fauna but, within the mid-catchment reaches and upper agricultural tributaries, less nutrient enrichment and channel alteration has permitted more diverse aquatic fauna.
