This research was tested with the methods of SNI 6989.6:2009 for testing water and destruction methods of Aqua Regia Digestion from U.S.A EPA (Environmental Protection Administration) for testing sediment and biota (fish) by using Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometer (AAS). The results of research with AAS is obtained level of Cu in the river water range 0,00258 -0,05811 mg/L, in sediment range 0,191 -19,73 mg/kg, in the groundwater range 0,00263 - 0,03065 mg/L, and in biota (fish) 18,655 mg/kg.
