Abstract

Sand mining activities at Km. 29 in Bukit Batu District, Palangka Raya City, have caused significant physical land damage. This study quantifies erosion rates in former sand mining areas using the Universal Soil Loss Equation (USLE) through field surveys and laboratory analysis. Soil samples were collected purposively from four locations (Kolong 1 TL, Kolong 2 TL, Kolong 1 BD, Kolong 2 BD) at 0-20 cm depth with three replications. Results showed erosion rates ranging from 0.54 to 2.52 tons/ha/year, classified as “very low” according to standard erosion hazard categories. However, in post-mining contexts with initial degradation, these rates indicate serious land vulnerability. The dominant factors influencing erosion were high rainfall erosivity (R=998.45 MJ.mm/ha/hr/year), minimal vegetation cover (C=0.8), and the absence of conservation practices (P=1), whereas soil erodibility was inherently very low (K=0.005-0.014). Although numerically classified as very low, the former sand mining land requires immediate conservation intervention. Practical implications emphasize integrated conservation through vegetative approaches (fast-growing cover crops) and mechanical methods (gulud terraces and rorak), focusing on modifying the conservation practice factor (P) as the most easily intervenable variable to prevent increased erosion and restore land conditions.

Abstract

Land reclamation is a crucial effort to restore former mining land so that it can function ecologically and economically again. XYZ conducts reclamation activities to meet applicable regulatory standards, therefore an internal assessment is required first before reporting to the ministry. This study aims to analyze the achievements of land management activities at the reclamation stage in PT. XYZ. The research method used is quantitative descriptive, with data collected through field observation and document analysis. The results of the study show that PT. XYZ has reached 25% of the reclamation plan in the first phase, with land management activities running for ±2 months. However, this study also identified obstacles such as less fertile soil conditions and high rainfall, as well as the absence of erosion and water control buildings made by the company, even though they are included in the reclamation activity plan. One of the settlement options that need to be done to achieve optimal reclamation success is to increase tools and working hours at the reclamation activity site, considering that the success of reclamation is the basis for company reporting and the ministry's assessment of the sustainability of the company's activities.
