But, yields to be reduced by the presence of gold mining activities in the Botak Mountain. Gold mining activities not only impact for the decline in yields, but also impact on the quality of rice by mercury pollution generated by mining waste. This research aims to determine the accumulation of mercury in sediment of Waeapo river. The research method is used survey and analysis method. In this research, observations were done and field sampling with the laboratory analyze. The result showed that concentration of analyzed mercury at four point, one point has exceeded standard of mercury limits in the sediment 0.1 ppm.
