INTRODUCTION The Indonesian state depends on its economy on the mining sector as a positive impact of its abundant natural resource The mining sector absorbs a lot of labor and increases the country's foreign exchange reserves which is correlated with national economic growth. The mining sector is currently the one that supports national economic growth the most apart from the Overcoming the impact of prolonged exploitation of natural resources cannot be done by stopping mining activities completely, there needs to be a policy that regulates this as an action from the competent government which is a reaction to the needs and problems of the community and is stated in a set of policies. One of the districts whose economy is supported by the mining sector is Tulungagung District. In the 1960s. Tulungagung Regency's economic growth lagged far behind compared to other districts in East Java. Furthermore, in the 1980s Tulungagung Regency was able to revive its economic sector by relying on the trade and mining sectors which had the impact of quite rapid economic growth. Journal homepage: https://wsj. westscience-press. com/index. php/wslhr West Science Law and Human Rights However, due to marble mining activities, especially in Besole Village. Besuki District. Tulungagung Regency as a marble center in East Java Province. Then a number of natural disasters began to occur - flash floods, flash floods, droughts and landslides. A number of efforts have been made by the Tulungagung Regency Government, such as forming an AMDAL (Environmental Impact Analysi. Assessor team and directing UKL/UPL (Environmental Management Efforts/Environmental Monitoring Effort. , carrying out monitoring every six months, setting a number of demands on miners to build ponds. waste and dredging water channel every two years is still considered partial and unable to solve a number of existing problems. This is made worse by the absence of public understanding of the effects of mining on the environment and the shoddy commitment of implementing players, particularly local governments and miners. Although mining management can influence economic growth through various rules, it is development because socio-economic factors, such as the absence of a community role and the neglect of natural disasters, are not given enough consideration. As a result, local complementary initiatives to fortify and enhance current laws, ensuring that policies address oversight, management, and the effects on the environment and nearby populations in addition to licensing. Generally speaking, to achieve sustainable development it is necessary to increase community participation and produce policies that are appropriate to community characteristics and environmental conditions. The community does not contribute enough to any government policies to impact governance This results in weak and inappropriate supervision, so that a number of policies are unable to be implemented Thus, policies to overcome environmental impacts due to marble mining activities in Tulungagung Regency have not A achieved sustainable development due to the government's lack of attention to social problems such as community involvement in a number of policies. Based on various environmental issues which are the main problems in Tulungagung Regency and based on the 2017 Environmental Management Performance Information Document for Tulungagung Regency. So issues related to land conversion into mining areas are the second strategic issue after water pollution. Even the issue of water pollution also stems from the problem of marble mining. Efforts have been made to manage marble mining activities, but it turns out that these efforts have not met the sustainable development indicators consisting of environmental sustainability, economic sustainability and socio-cultural sustainability. Environmental Protection Law Number 32 of 2009. defines environmental management as a coordinated effort to protect environmental policy and plans for development, use, construction, maintenance, restoration, and oversight. Because mining activities, if not carried out properly, can have a negative impact on the environment, especially significant disturbances in the balance of the land surface. Environmental impacts due to mining activities include. production decreases, soil becomes denser, erosion and sedimentation occurs, land movement or landslides occur, disruption of flora and fauna, disruption of public health, and changes in microclimate. Based on a number of problems above and a number of previous theories, the focus of this research is to analyze a number of social, economic and environmental problems resulting from marble mining activities in Tulungagung Regency, and recommend a number of appropriate policies based on the principles of sustainable development to achieve a balance of social, economic and social aspects.

Form of Environmental Impact Management Policy Due to Marble Mining Activities Law Number 32 of 2009 concerning Environmental Protection and Management serves as a guide for the Tulungagung Regency Government's efforts in addressing environmental impact management issues arising from marble mining activities.

The participation of all stakeholders in the process of handling destructive and constructive influences in development management is primarily based on the people. Because the main development target itself is intended for the benefit of the wider community. So far, community participation in development has often been Entrepreneurs in the mining sector take advantage of the regulatory gaps pertaining to the necessity of AMDAL documents as the primary prerequisite for their firms and/or operations in order to maximize their earnings. In this case, the entrepreneur cannot be immediately blamed, because the root of the problem lies with the policy makers, in this case the central government and regional It is homework for the government . oth central and regional government. in the future to make regulations in the mining sector that are more perfect so that they do not provide opportunities for abuse . CONCLUSION The results of this research are how the Tulungagung government is more intense in reinforcing regional regulations and not only confirming regulations but also confirming them in the field, and apart from regulations the government must also think about future programs for mining area communities so that they are not dependent on mining products which are not eternal in , and the community is expected to care more about the environment because the effects of mining will not be felt directly and we need to remember that there are still our children and grandchildren who want to Tulungagung the next day, there is one word from Babeh Idin "Nature "This is not a legacy from our ancestors but a gift from our children and grandchildren," so we can take the common thread that, apart from the government, supervising through regulations is very important, it is also very important for incidentally are the front guard who feel the positive and negative impacts of mining, to carry out direct supervision.
