Abstract

The mining industry is the primary source of the state’s revenue. The legal instrument governing the mining industry in Indonesia is Law No. 4 of 2009 on Mineral and Coal. Unfortunately, the existence of the mining industry in various regions in Indonesia, especially open-pit coal mining industries, raises multiple problems, one of which related to the aspect of environmental law. The issues which arise in forms of pollution and ecological damage. These problems still occur in several open-pit coal mining areas such as in Bengkulu and South Kalimantan. Environmental law is expected to be a tool to protect the environment from various negative impacts of business activities and from citizens who lack awareness towards the environment, in order to guarantee the sustainability of environmental functions. One of the steps that need to be done is enforcing environmental law effectively. Enforcement can be done in forms of preventive and repressive, which means through administrative, criminal and civil procedures. Thus, the existence of the mining industry is expected to continue to support sustainable development in Indonesia. This research is normative legal research through the method of legislative approach, conceptual approach and analytical approach. The object of the normative legal analysis is in the form of qualitative legal materials, namely primary legal material (legislation) and secondary legal material (library materials). The specification of this study is inferential research, which doesn’t merely describe facts but draws general conclusions that can be the basis of deduction to determine steps to deal with legal problems and define the position of the issues in the national legal system as well. Regarding the research data, both secondary and primary data, a qualitative juridical analysis was carried out using the method of legal interpretation, especially grammatical interpretation, historical interpretation, and systematic interpretation and analogy and constructivism, the results of which were written descriptively.
