STUDI KUALITAS AIR PADA INSTALASI PENGOLAHAN AIR LIMBAH AREAL PENIMBUNAN BATUBARA (STOCKPILE) PT. BUKIT BAIDURI ENERGI KABUPATEN KUTAI KARTANEGARA

ABSTRACT: The  aim  of  this  study  was  to  analyze  the  parameters  of  TSS,  pH,  Fe  and  Mn.  The  results  was compared with the water quality standard regulated in Perda Kaltim No. 02 Tahun 2011, and then determine  the  water  quality  status  of  the  Mahakam  River  as  the  recipient  of  waste  water  from settling  pond  which  is  managed  by  PT.  Bukit  Baiduri  Energi  located  in  Kutai  Kartanegara Regency. Purposive sampling method was applied, means that the samples were selected based on certain considerations. Water sampling stations were divided into 3 stations then sampling of each station was conducted 2 times. Water quality data was further analyzed using STORET method to determine water quality status based on the standard for water quality management practice. The measurements  of  water  quality  parameters  (TSS,  Fe  and  Mn)  shows  that  in  the  location  of  the settling pond was still below the limit for the quality standard and for pH parameters was also still meet  water  quality  standards  for  mining  coal  waste.  While  the  water  quality  analysis  on  the Mahakam  River  for  the  upstream  and  downstream  as  compared  with  the  classes  of  water  quality standard  imposed  in  Perda  Kaltim  No.  02  tahun  2011  indicated  the  water  was  only  ready  to  be used  for  the  activities  related  to  fish  culturing/aquaculture  (third  class)  and  crop/plant  irrigation (fourth class). The result leads to the conclusion that treatment is needed to the water that will be used for the purpose of basic human needs for the people along the Mahakam River
