Sari

Responsibility of the EIA Consultant in Making Analysis Regarding Environmental Impactâ€. Supervised by Rusdin Alaudin and Dahlai Hasim. This study aims to (1) determine the responsibilities of the Amdal Consultant in making an Environmental Impact Analysis and (2) to determine the factors that influence the implementation of an environmental impact analysis. This type of research is a normative juridical law research type, namely research by using basic analysis of primary data sources and secondary data. While the type of research is qualitative by using a descriptive analysis approach. The results show that the consultant's responsibility for environmental impact analysis here is the consultant's duty to make or compile an environmental impact analysis, while the project owner as the party who has an environmental impact analysis activity plan in connection with the project has an important impact on the environment. For this reason, each EIA consultant must be responsible for all the data it produces, so the consultant must be careful in making an analysis of environmental impacts. This responsibility concerns compensation if the consultant makes errors and omissions in making data analysis. Factors influencing the implementation of the analysis of environmental impacts are problems that have not been accommodated by the provisions that are considered to contain certain weaknesses, such as the linkage of AMDAL with licensing, the mechanism for linking AMDAL and the community as implementing people's participation in the decision-making process, and methods of collecting information capable of providing identification of various environmental influences and impacts. Another obstacle The AMDAL consultant does not accept the risk due to environmental impacts outside of the AMDAL and is returned to the Government and the Proponent itself because these impacts are caused by the workers themselves or natural events.
