Groundwater pollution that occurs around waste landfill activities is the impact of the operation of a waste landfill, especially if the open dumping method is still used, there is potential for leachate infiltration to enter the soil and pollute groundwater. Apart from being high in organic pollutants, leachate also contains heavy metals. This can happen because there are various kinds of waste that are piled up. The aim of this research is to review the groundwater pollution profile based on heavy metal pollution parameters at 8 sampling points in the Burangkeng Village area. The heavy metals analyzed were Iron (Fe), manganese (Mn), Chromium (Cr), and Cadmium (Cd). The heavy metals Fe, Mn, and Cr were found at all locations, but the results also showed that the heavy metals Fe and Cr were not detected, and all locations showed that Cd metal was below the detection limit. The analysis results at several locations were also found to exceed the applicable quality standards, namely Minister of Health Regulation No. 2 of 2023. Therefore, strategies to mitigate these impacts on groundwater are necessary, including household-scale water treatment and the utilization of communal clean water supplies.
