Ihsan Noor, graduated from Agriculture Faculty of Soil Science of Brawijaya University, Indonesia in 1989 and Masters degree of Natural Resources and Environmental Management of Lambung Mangkurat in 2011 and continued a Doctoral Study of Natural Resources and Environmental Management at Lambung Mangkurat University which commenced in 2017..
He started career in coal mining industry of Environmental Engineer and Reclamation Planning in 1996. Currently, Ihsan Noor is Mine Head / Head of Technical Mining of PT Jorong Barutama Greston a coal mining company in South Kalimantan since 2015. Ishan is a PhD candidate at Lambung Mangkurat University. Abstract
Zero Quicklime by Swampy Forest One of the big challenges in coal mining is how we treat the mine waste water. Mostly the water is acid. We need to treat the water with quicklime to comply with regulation before release to Public River. To treat the acid water with quicklime is expensive and uncertaintly process. Swampy Forest is one of the new mine water management to increase the pH from mostly 4 to be 6 until 9 as compliance criteria by naturally process. The Swampy Forest is a constructed wetland by cobinying three best materials of organic matter, planting grass and planting trees. The water from Void flow the water enters the swampy Forest system and increases the pH. When the water come pH is 4, the system will release average pH 7 with debt of water flow is average 1000m3/day without any quicklime anymore. Another benefit of this project is integrated the waste mine water management with reclamation project to prepare in advance to meet success criteria of reclamation. |

Workshop Précis
Issues in Tropical Forest Rehabilitation Post Mining in Borneo
The objective of the workshop is to provide participants with an understanding of the issues facing miners and government in the development of resource extraction in the tropical forest environment, in particular in the Indonesian Kalimantan States of Borneo. The extraction of coal is occurring on a massive scale in virgin rainforest in the face of conditions of heavy rainfall, acid forming soils and difficult terrain. Such mining is regulated strictly by strong national Forestry Law that regulates the management of the three categories of forests (conservation forests, protection forests and production forests) in Indonesia. Participants will learn how such regulation is bringing about exemplary practices in dealing with acidic water treatment, reforestation, conservation of threatened and displaced fauna, and the generation of post-mining support in the form of new agricultural and commercial enterprises to provide employment for local peoples.
