The Tribal Council of the Hopland Band of Pomo Indians adopted eight Environmental Protection
Codes in 2006. The new Environmental Protection Codes were drafted to promote the peace,
health, safety and general welfare of residents; they apply equally to everyone on the Reservation
– both Tribal and non-Tribal. The Codes confirm that the Tribe is a sovereign nation governing its
land and people, and provide that the Tribal EPA and Tribal Police may conduct enforcement
activities. Tribal EPA staff are currently working on Enforcement Policies and Procedures to
implement the codes.

As we work towards implementation of the codes, the goal of the Tribal EPA will be to educate
the community and provide compliance assistance; however, warnings, citations, and fines will be
issued as necessary to protect the environment. Ultimately, an action may be filed in Tribal Court
seeking damages from those who violate Tribal law.

The Tribal EPA is responsible for implementing the following environmental codes to protect the
land and people (click to view text):
