For Benoa Bay Reclamation, Bali
BANYUWANGI – Banyuwangi sea sand targeted by PT. Tirta Wahana Bali International (TWBI) for the reclamation of Benoa Bay, Bali. A few days ago the TWBI team visited the Integrated Licensing and Investment Services Agency (BPPT-PM) to explore the process and procedures for sea sand mining permits in Bumi Blambangan.
Information successfully collected by Java Post Radar Banyuwangi, PT. TWBI is targeting Boom Beach sea sand. The sand will be used to reclaim Benoa Bay, Bali. Head of BPPT-PM, Abdul Kadir |, admitted that he had received representatives from PT TWBI.
The team came to name the sea sand mining permit procedure in Banyuwangi. Kadir said, his party said that the authority to license mineral and coal mining (mineral and coal) is in the hands of the Provincial Government (provincial government) East Java.
Because of that, I conveyed it to the PT team. TWBI, It's not right to ask the Banyuwangi Regency Government,” said Kadir. Kadir explained, since 19 December 2014 The authority for mineral and coal permits which was previously in the hands of the district government has become the authority of the provincial government.
This is in accordance with the mandate of Law Number 23 year 2014 regarding regional government and circular letters from the Governor of East Java. "So that, The application for a sand mining permit is the domain of the East Java Provincial Government, no longer in the District, he said.
Because the licensing authority lies with the provincial government, Kadir emphasized that his party could not reject or accept the plan to dredge Banyuwangi sand for the reclamation of Benoa Bay. “The application just doesn't exist, what is there to reject?,” strictly.
Kadir admitted that he advised the PT team. TWBI takes care of permits at the East Java Provincial Government. If the East Java Provincial Government gives permission, The district is only the party in charge of the location and does not have any authority to issue mining permits.
“PT team. TWBI came only to conduct an assessment, not to take care of mining permits,” added Kadir. (radar)
