Abstract
Open pit mining can leave open pits that, when filled with air, will form post-mining lakes or pit lakes. Abandoned pit lakes have a negative impact on the community, so they need to be utilized to provide a positive impact for the community as an implementation of the SDGs (Sustainable Development Goals). Therefore, research is needed to determine the potential utilization of pit lakes that are appropriate for the pit lake located in Rumpin District, Bogor Regency, West Java. Based on this research, it can determine the potential utilization of pit lakes for sustainable development of the surrounding community to improve the local economy and maximize the utilization of ex-mining land. Currently, the excavation lake has been used as a waste storage area such as tailings, leach residue piles, waste rock producing acids/solvents and salts from air processing and as a means of post-closure risk mitigation for the receiving environment. To optimize the utilization of pit lakes in Rumpin, several studies were conducted such as determining the water quality of the pit lake, environmental mapping with drones to obtain lake photogrammetry, community needs surveys using questionnaires, and community economic analysis. Based on the research conducted, there are several potential uses for pit lakes, including nature tourism, fishing spots, restaurants, lodging or resorts, clean water facilities, and micro-hydro power plants (PLTMH), which can support renewable energy to improve community welfare sustainably. This research can provide input for the government and other stakeholders regarding the long-term use of pit lakes.
