Mining crimes are acts that are prohibited by regulations that are subject to sanctions for perpetrators, in order to protect mineral and coal mining activities and businesses. Mining actors who do not have a permit are regulated in Article 158 of Law Number 3 of 2020 concerning Amendments to Law Number 4 of 2009 concerning Mineral and Coal Mining. This action in limestone mining causes environmental damage and also triggers various negative impacts.
