What are the Pesa Government's efforts regarding environmental pollution caused by tofu factory waste. In conducting this research the authors used a normative juridical research method. The results showed that the role of the village government in overcoming environmental pollution caused by tofu factory waste generally has 3 roles, namely as a facilitator, motivator, and mediator. Such responsibility is limited to a formal existence. However, it must still refer to the provisions stipulated in Law Number 32 of 2009 concerning PPLH and Regional Regulation 11 of 2019 concerning the Nganjuk PPLH. Permits are a juridical instrument used by the government as a system for managing conditions in people's lives that must be obeyed by all people to control activity so that their business has strong legality.
