Environmental Management Resources for Indian Tribes
USING THE DOCUMENT
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA) Policy for the Administration of Environmental
Programs on Indian Reservations, issued in 1984 and reaffirmed in 1994, directs the agency to protect
human health and the environment in Indian Country. Under the policy, EPA is to work closely with
tribal governments in making decisions about environmental programs by giving special consideration to
tribal interests when creating policies that affect Indian Country and pursuing a government-to-
government relationship between EPA and the 567 federally recognized tribes in the United States.
EPA has developed Environmental Management Resources for'Indian Tribes to serve as a reference for
information about environmental resources that are available specifically to tribes. The document also
can assist federal and state agencies, as well as other organizations that work with tribes on
environmental issues and problems, in becoming better informed about a variety of sources of
information available specifically for tribes.
EPA recognizes that this document does not and can not contain every tribal-related environmental
resource that has been developed. Rather, it is a work in progress that provides an overview of
environmental resources available to tribes that will be updated periodically.
Using the Resources Section
The document describes approximately 170 environmental resources that tribes can use to assist in their
environmental activities. Each entry in Environmental Management Resources for Indian Tribes
provides the name and a brief description of the resource
and identifies sources from which the resource can be
obtained. Entries are sorted first by environmental category
(multimedia, air, pollution prevention, toxics, waste, and
water) and then alphabetically within each category. When
a resource is relevant to more than one environmental
category, the resource is listed in the multimedia section. A
resource code has been assigned to each resource included
in the document. The resource code consists of two
components: a letter that corresponds to the environmental
category to which the resource has been assigned and a
sequential number. For example, the resource code "M15" identifies the fifteenth entry in the
Multimedia section of Environmental Management Resources for Indian Tribes. The box above lists the
letter codes associated with each environmental category. Each entry also features an icon that illustrates
the type of resource that is being described. The icons are described below.
The book icon identifies publications, agency programs and strategies, fact sheets, and
related material.
The floppy disk icon identifies databases and electronic systems.
The dollar sign icon identifies resources that provide financial assistance to tribes, such
as grants or funding for the development of pilot projects.

American Indian Lands Environmental Support Project (AILESP) Database
The AILESP database, developed by EPA OECA, is designed to integrate and assess current point sources
of pollutants and associated enforcement and compliance data about federal, industrial, and municipal
facilities located on or near tribal communities and their ecological resources. The goal of the AILESP
database is to provide the information to environmental managers in EPA headquarters and regions and
tribes, as well as to other stakeholders, to assist in focusing resources for the protection of human health
and the environment. Staff of all EPA regions in which tribal lands are located and five tribes (Street Regis
Mohawk, Red Lake, San Carlos Apache, Omaha, and Penobscot) have participated in the development of
the AILESP database. Suggestions for improving the AILESP database were incorporated into the final
version of the project, which was made available in the fall of 1997 on the EPA AIEO Internet site. Others
also are invited to provide comment. If interest and available resources support such an effort, the AILESP
database will be updated and redistributed regularly.

Federal, Tribal, and State Roles in the Protection and Regulation of Reservation
Environments
M17 This paper was prepared to formalize EPA's role in strengthening tribal governments' management of
environmental programs on reservations. It notes that differences between the interests of tribal
governments and those of state governments do exist and sometimes extend well beyond the specific issues
of environmental protection and compliance assistance. It reaffirms the general approach of the agency's
Indian Policy and recommends the strengthening of tribal capacity for environmental management.

Takelma Inter-Tribal Project
This organization helps provide information about tribal cultures, as well as information about compliance
with regulations governing the use of pesticides. The organization believes ecological restoration has
focused on mitigating environmental damage mainly by revegetation of degraded sites (those resulting from
strip mining) with native plants, while ignoring the problem of persistent toxic contamination of land, air,
and water. Further, the organization holds that many restorationists use toxic pesticides in ecological
restoration without a clear understanding of the effects of such practices on rural and tribal people who
depend on the land for their livelihood and for the preservation of their cultures.

operators in states that have MSWLF permitting programs approved by EPA. The process encourages
active dialogue among tribes, MSWLF owners and operators, EPA, and the public. The guidance is

EPA recognizes tribal sovereignty, EPA will respect tribal findings about the consistency of proposed
approaches with tribal law and policy.

Environmental Management Resources for Indian Tribes
APPENDIX A
OVERVIEW OF FEDERAL ENVIRONMENTAL STATUTES
This appendix provides a brief overview of federal environmental statutes that are the source of or related to
compliance assistance tools for Indian tribes as identified in the Environmental Management Resources for
Indian Tribes.
Asbestos Hazard Emergency Response Act (AHERA)
In 1986, Congress amended the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA) (see below) by enacting AHERA.
AHERA requires school systems to identify and abate asbestos hazards in school buildings. EPA has
issued regulations that govern proper inspection procedures and standards for asbestos abatement, and
contractor accreditation programs. Under AHERA, EPA distributes loan and grant money to financially
needy schools to help pay the costs of abatement.
Clean Air Act (CAA)
CAA is the federal statute enacted to protect and enhance the nation's air resources. Under the CAA, EPA
establishes national ambient air quality standards (NAAQS) for certain air pollutants. NAAQS are the
controlling force behind the development and implementation of limits on emissions and other controls
under the statute. States are required to develop state implementation plans (SIP) that impose emission
controls on stationary sources to meet NAAQS. Under CAA, EPA and states also implement a number of
programs that address air pollution from stationary sources and mobile sources, including programs that
address toxic air pollutants, such as asbestos; threats to stratospheric ozone; and acid rain.
Clean Water Act (CWA)
CWA is the federal statute under which EPA establishes national water quality goals and addresses water
pollution from industrial and municipal facilities and other sources. Under CWA, EPA and approved state
programs implement five primary elements: a system of national effluent standards for each industry; water
quality standards; a discharge permit program that applies the standards as enforceable limits (that is, permit
conditions); provisions for special problems, such as toxic chemicals or oil spills; and a revolving
construction loan program for publicly owned treatment works (POTW).
Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act (CERCLA)
CERCLA established a comprehensive federal program to respond to the release of hazardous substances to
the environment. CERCLA establishes a trust fund, commonly referred to as Superfund, that EPA may use
to fund the cleanup of hazardous waste disposal sites. Under CERCLA, EPA also may take enforcement
action against potentially responsible parties to compel the cleanup of hazardous waste sites. All cleanup
activities under CERCLA are governed by the National Contingency Plan (NCP) that established
comprehensive regulations for conducting cleanup activities. In addition, CERCLA established a reporting
program through which facilities report the release of hazardous substances to the environment.
Emergency Planning and Community Right-to-Know Act (EPCRA)
EPCRA created several major chemical reporting and information transfer programs that include:
emergency planning and release notification; community right-to-know requirements; and toxic chemical
release reporting (toxic release inventory [TRTJ). EPCRA was established as a free-standing provision of
CERCLA in the wake of the release of the toxic chemical methyl isocyanate in Bhopal, India that killed or

injured thousands of people. EPCRA also is referred to as Title IE of the Superfund Amendments and
Reauthorization Act (SARA).
Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA)
FIFRA is a federal statute addressing the registration and use of pesticides. Under FIFRA, pesticide
products must be registered by EPA before they are sold or distributed in commerce. EPA registers
pesticides on the basis of data adequate to show that, when used according to the label directions, they will
not cause unreasonable adverse effects on human health or the environment. Under FIFRA, EPA may
cancel or suspend the use of pesticides under certain circumstances.
National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA)
NEPA declares a national environmental policy and promotes consideration of environmental concerns by
federal agencies. The NEPA process requires that federal agencies conduct assessments and issue an
environmental impact statement on any project, legislation, and other major federal action that may
significantly affect the quality of human health and the environment. The Council on Environmental
Quality (CEQ) established regulations that guide the NEPA process.
Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA)
RCRA addresses the management of municipal and industrial solid waste and hazardous wastes. The
primary objectives of RCRA are: promoting the protection of human health and the environment from
potential adverse effects of improper waste management; conserving material and energy resources through
waste recycling and recovery; and reducing or eliminating the generation of hazardous waste as
expeditiously as possible. Under various provisions of RCRA, EPA and states implement three major
regulatory programs for waste management: subtitle D addresses solid wastes (including municipal waste);
subtitle C addresses hazardous wastes; and subtitle I addresses regulated substances stored in underground
storage tanks (UST).
Safe Drinking Water Act (SDWA)
SDWA establishes requirements for the protection of public drinking water supply systems. Under the
SDWA, EPA sets standards for the quality of water provided by public water supply systems (known as
maximum contaminant levels [MCL] for specific contaminants). Public water supply systems must monitor
for compliance with the MCLs. EPA and authorized states enforce the requirements of the SDWA. Under
the SDWA, EPA and states also regulate the disposal of wastes and other substances by underground
injection wells.
Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA)
TSCA provides EPA with authority to require testing of chemical substances, both new and old, entering
the environment and to regulate them when necessary to protect human health or the environment. Under
TSCA, manufacturers must notify EPA before producing a new chemical substance (defined as a chemical
not on a compiled inventory list) or for existing chemicals for which EPA concludes there is a significant
new use that increases human or environmental exposure. Under TSCA, EPA and states also regulate the
use and disposal of materials containing polychlorinated biphenyls (PCB), such as electrical transformers,
to protect human health and the environment.
