Regulation of the State Minister of Environment No. 202 of 2004 on Wastewater Quality Standard for Gold and or Copper Ore Mining Businesses and/or Activities sets out wastewater quality standards for gold and/or copper ore mining businesses and activities in Indonesia. It aims to prevent water pollution by regulating the discharge of wastewater from various stages of mining and processing, including extraction, transportation, stockpiling, processing, and mine closure. The regulation is part of Indonesia’s environmental protection framework under Law No. 32/2009 and Government Regulation No. 82/2001

It stipulates the maximum levels and numbers of pollutants that may be present in the wastewater that is discharged into water sources from gold and copper ore mining businesses and activities. However, a stricter standard would apply if the result of a business/activity’s feasibility study as part of its environmental license (AMDAL or UKL-UPL) requires a stricter wastewater quality standard than that stipulated in the regulation.

Wastewater originating from gold and copper ore mining is required to be processed such that it does not exceed the applicable wastewater quality standard. The person in charge of the gold and/or copper mining business/activity is required to:

conduct a study of the location of wastewater treatment points to obtain a wastewater discharge permit

conduct daily self-monitoring of wastewater quality

periodically examine the processed wastewater for adherence to applicable standards in an accredited laboratory at least once a month

analyse the wastewater and submit reports of the result at least once every three months every year to the relevant authorities.

These obligations are relevant considerations for the issuance of a wastewater discharge permit in accordance with the prevailing regulations.

Oil Industry Braces for Years-Long Iran War

Oil producers, traders, and refiners are bracing for a prolonged war between the United States and Iran in the Persian Gulf with little to no hope of a quick resolution.

Reuters’ Clyde Russell reported this week that the mood at APPEC was not particularly cheerful as hostilities in the Middle East escalate once again, suggesting achieving peace would be quite a challenge. The Reuters columnist…

Stolen Electricity is Powering Illegal Crypto Farms Across the Globe

Electricity theft is a global problem, and it’s getting more dire all the time. While the problem is most common in developing countries, where grid infrastructure is limited and utilities and state authorities have lower oversight capacities, developed countries are not immune either. This theft can occur in many forms and at many scales, from individuals tapping into power lines to power their individual residences to large-scale and sophisticated theft schemes to power entire cryptocurrency mining farms. Just this week, Mexican authorities…

Iran’s Security Crackdown Runs Into Resistance From Within

Iran's parliament is trying to turn fears of foreign infiltration into law. But as lawmakers work through the legislation, the debate is exposing an increasingly awkward question for the Islamic Republic: How far should the state go in policing Iranians' contact with the outside world? At the center of that debate is Parliament Speaker Mohammad Baqer Qalibaf, who, at least publicly, is doing a balancing act. He has defended the need for tougher measures against foreign infiltration while warning that the current draft of the legislation goes too…

Why More Homes Are Switching From Gas to Heat Pumps

Heat pumps are becoming an increasingly popular alternative to gas-powered central heating systems and are increasingly being used in new construction, often driven by government incentives. A heat pump uses technology similar to that found in a refrigerator or an air conditioner, extracting heat from a source, such as the surrounding air, and amplifying and transferring the heat to where it is needed. As most of the heat is transferred rather than generated, heat pumps are far more efficient than conventional heating technologies such as boilers…
