Governor Instructs OPD Evaluation Of All Mining Permits In West Java
West Java Governor Dedi Mulyadi instructed regional apparatus organizations (OPD) within the West Java Provincial Government to thoroughly evaluate all mining permits in the West Java region.
"Activities that damage the environment and do not side with the community cannot be allowed. The permit must be revoked," said Dedi Mulyadi in a statement received in Subang Regency, Saturday.
The governor carried out a surprise inspection of mining activities in the Subang area on Friday (18/4) following news of mining activities suspected of violating the area.
During the surprise inspection, a number of serious violations were found which were considered to have an impact on environmental damage and infrastructure.
One of the main violations is mining trucks that exceed operating and downstream transport capacity across roads that are provincial routes.

Dedi said that a number of vehicles carried up to 30 tons of cargo, exceeding the specified limit. So the mining activity contributes to road damage and economic losses to the surrounding community.
For this reason, he instructed firm action in the form of revocation of mining permits that violate the provisions.
Then as a further step, the governor ordered a thorough evaluation of all mining permits in the West Java region.
The coordination meeting between relevant regional apparatus organizations within the West Java Provincial Government is scheduled to take place early next week.
This evaluation will involve the Department of Energy and Mineral Resources, the Department of Investment and One Stop Integrated Services and the Civil Service Police Unit.
In addition, the Department of Highways and Spatial Planning was also asked to calculate the impact of road infrastructure damage due to mining truck activities. The results of these calculations will form the basis for determining Dedi's obligation to compensate, stating that this step reflects the commitment of the West Java Provincial Government in enforcing rules, preserving the environment, and protecting the interests of the community.
