HOME > DEPARTMENTS > TRIBAL EPA HOME > CURRENT GRANTS
The Tribal EPA administers the following grants:
USEPA General Assistance Program (GAP) – To build capacity to administer Tribal
environmental programs.
USEPA Clean Water Act Section 106 – To develop and implement a water quality program,
including monitoring (surface and ground water), standards development, and enforcement.
USEPA Clean Water Act Section 319 – To develop and implement a polluted runoff control
program that addresses Tribal water quality concerns; to address natural and manmade erosion sites
that impact Tribal creeks.
USEPA Source Water Assessment and Protection (SWAP) Program – To assess Tribal drinking
water sources, to identify potential sources of contamination, and to abandon old Tribal wells.
USEPA Brownfields Assessment and Cleanup grant – To revitalize contaminated land (the
Tribal 2001 well site) for productive economic and green space use. Contamination at this site is
from naturally-occurring hazardous substances in groundwater. There is no manmade pollution on-
site.
USEPA Source Reduction – To work within the community to reuse products, and to make
changes in the design, purchase, and use of materials or products to reduce their amount or
toxicity. These practices result in reduced waste disposal costs, conservation of resources and
reduction in pollution.
USEPA Hazardous Materials – To train staff on hazardous waste handling and transportation,
to develop a household hazardous waste management plan, and to conduct public outreach and
education on hazardous waste issues
USEPA Compliance Assurance – To conduct community outreach, to analyze the most
effective ways to gain compliance with regulations, to coordinate compliance assurance activities,
and to obtain staff enforcement training.
Interagency Solid Waste Management Assistance (Open Dump Grant) – To clean-up Tribal open
dump sites in an effort to protect the environment and the health and safety of Tribal families.
Health & Human Services, Administration for Native Americans (ANA), Environmental
Regulatory Enhancement Grant – To develop a database of plant, wildlife and aquatic ecology
information which can be used to monitor environmental change based on land management
activity; and, to develop a system through which development projects will be assessed for their
impact on the environment
National Park Service, Historic Preservation Training Grant – To improve and preserve the
Tribe’s cultural awareness and knowledge of the ways of life of their ancestors through training on
development of a historic preservation program.
US Fish and Wildlife Service, Tribal Wildlife Grant – To conduct a formal creek habitat survey
to obtain a complete profile of stream habitats and suitability for fish, wildlife, plants and migratory
birds; to develop engineering designs to retrofit one culvert on the Reservation; and to conduct
feasibility studies and begin permitting steps to implement future barrier remedy work on two other
Reservation culverts.
IHS/USEPA Water Set-aside Program Grant – To construct a drinking water pipeline from
ancestral lands in the Russian River Watershed to the current Reservation lands.
USEPA General Assistance Program (GAP) – To build capacity to administer Tribal
environmental programs.
