The environment is a gift from the Creator, namely God Almighty to all of His
creatures, whether humans, animals or plants, so that this environment must be
protected and maintained as a form of gratitude to God. One way to protect and
protect the environment is to have an Environmental Impact Statement for every
activity and business that has a significant impact on the environment, for example
the textile industry. Environmental Impact Statement is an instrument for
preventing environmental pollution. The problem in this research is what is the
role of Environmental Impact Statement in supporting efforts to prevent
environmental pollution due to textile industry wastewater and what are the
obstacles and obstacles faced by PT. Samitex in processing textile industry
wastewater as an effort to prevent environmental pollution in Bantul Regency. This
research is an empirical legal research, so data is obtained through literature,
case studies, and interviews. The results of the research and conclusions from this
thesis are that the Environmental Impact Statement of PT. Samitex Sewon
Yogyakarta plays an important role in supporting efforts to prevent environmental
pollution due to textile industry wastewater in Bantul Regency. However, there are
still internal obstacles that arise, namely technical problems and problems in the
operation of factory machines so that the application of PT. Samitex Sewon
Yogyakarta has not been fully implemented properly. The suggestion is PT.
Samitex Sewon Yogyakarta must immediately repair factory machines that have
experienced a decline in quality so that these factory machines can be used again
and provide maximum results.
