| Summary: | Tailings Storage Facility (TSF), which is the media for tailings disposal, is closely
related to the environmental and social impacts and risks arising from these tailings
storage facilities. One of the impacts on TSF is related to surface water which must
be managed properly. Of greatest concern is the water balance in the TSF.
Therefore it is necessary to analyze several hydrological parameters to determine
the difference between the volume of water entering and the volume of water out of
the TSF, so that the mine closure method of handling TSF can reduce the risk of
environmental pollution.
Analysis of the rain parameters using the Partial Duration Series (PDS) method
was carried out to calculate the water discharge that must be managed in an open
channel and additional analysis for potential evaporation parameters to calculate
the mine closure TSF fill. The method of selecting the maximum daily rainfall data
becomes the data used to analyze the need for open drainage facilities. Meanwhile,
for TSF filling during mine closure, scenarios of extreme conditions are made for
potential rainfall and evaporation parameters which are then analyzed to determine
the water balance.
Based on the results of the analysis of the maximum daily data, it is found that the
amount of water discharge that must be managed in an open drainage facility is
1.511 m3 / s. Meanwhile, for TSF filling, it was found that the fastest scenario
required 31.8 months and vice versa for the longest charging scenario, it took 110.4
months. To determine the mine closure TSF handling method, the results of water
balance analysis for several scenarios of climatic conditions resulted in the
minimum thickness of the water column in the TSF ranging from 6 - 8 m. Based on
the results of water balance analysis for several scenarios of climate conditions on
the TSF, the method of handling TSF during mine closure is by using wet cover. |
