The data obtained both primary and secondary data were categorized according to the type of data, then the data were analyzed qualitatively. The results of this study indicate that environmental law enforcement against PT.

MPHS pollutes the environment through its operational waste, causing a decrease in the quality of water consumed by the community on a daily basis. Moreover, there are no civil lawsuits from the government, the public, and environmental organizations and there are no definite legal steps against the alleged waste pollution case from PT. MPHS. Even though PT. MPHS has been subject to administrative sanctions three times and deserves to be prosecuted or revoked.
