Geographical boundaries: "Old Acoma, lies 365 feet above a surrounding valley of dry farmland sparsely dotted by pinon
and juniper. The pueblo supports more than 2,000 head of cattle and more than 260,749 acres of forest land. There are
more than 2,000 acres dedicated to the cultivation of chile, com, beans, squash, and alfalfa."
History: The peftol and Sky City are believed to be the oldest inhabited sites in the United States. Fray Marcos de Niza
reported on the village in 1539 and the next year Francisco de Coronado and his army visited the site. Following the
visits, the Spanish believed there were 5,000 to 10,000 warlike people living on vast tracks of land in the area earning
he Pueblo the title "Kingdom of Acu". In 1598, Juan de Zaldivar's sojdiers tried to steal grain from Acoma's storehouse.
Acoma resisted, killing Zaldivar and 12 of his men. In retaliation Conquistador Juan de Onate sent 70 men to battle the
Acoma, leaving 600 Acomas dead. Several hundred others were taken from their village.
Using all the non-violent, legal means at their disposal, the Acoma have actively pursued restoring their original lands -
some 1.5 million acres in total. Acoma officials petitioned the Court of Claims in the 1890s, the Pueblo Lands Board in
1924, and finally the Indian Claims Commission in 1948. Thirteen years later, the Commission declared the Acoma had
aboriginal title to the land and granted a monetary settlement. Since then the Acoma have purchased large areas of land
adjacent to the reservation. Through this process their land base has slowly grown to its present size.

PRELIMINARY ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT
There are no EPA designated sites. The following is a list of
possible sites:
Acoma old stockyard preliminary assessment ^PA) was completed
and submitted to EPA on October 24, 1995. The site was
recommended for no further remedial action planned (NFRAP).
Acoma railroad impoundment preliminary assessment (PA) was
completed and submitted to EPA on February 7,1C j5. The site was
recommended for no further remedial action planned (NFRAP).
Acoma tribal storage yard preliminary assessment (PA) was
completed and submitted to EPA on February 7,1995. The site was
recommended for no further remedial action planned (NFRAP).
Deer Mesa sheep dip vat preliminary assessment (PA) was
completed and submitted to EPA on October 17,1995. The site was
recommended for no further remedial action planned (NFRAP).
.<*
A preliminary assessment (PA) was completed and submitted to the
EPA on August 11, 1993 for the Acoma open dump. A site
inspection (SI) report was submitted to EPA on January 25, 1996.
The site was deemed lower priority.
A preliminary assessment (PA) was completed and submitted to the
EPA on Canipa Acoma sheep dip vat October 16, 1995. The site
was deemed lower priority.
The POEP identified two LIST sites that are active or temporarily
abandoned. In addition, a third site, the Los Cerritos Chevron
reported a release and tanks were removed in April 1992. Only one
of these sites is registered with EPA. The EPA will work with the
Pueblo and POEP to have all tanks registered and determine which
tanks have met the 1998 leak prevention, leak detection and
corrosion protection requirements by the end of the year.
A field citation was issued to an Acoma Pueblo facility due to
violations found during a compliance inspection conducted in June
of 1996. The violations were for failure to operate a release
detection system in accordance with the EPA UST regulation found
at 40 CFR Part 280. Failure to install release detection systems can
result in significant contamination.

Water bodies within the Pueblo of Acoma include: the Rio San Jose,
Acomita Lake, Acoma Creek, and numerous small lakes, springs
and intermittent/ephemeral streams. Acomita Lake was restored
with funds from the Clean Lakes Program (CWA §314). The Pueblo
also has CWA §106 grant to develop water quality standards.
Sources of impairment of water quality include: agriculture, septic
systems and upstream dischargers.
Th., Pueblo is in the San Andrews Glorieta Aquifer wifh most of the
producing wells in the shallow alluvial aquifer. Potential threats to
the surface and sub-surface water resources can be attributed to
point and non-point sources of pollution including waste water
treatment facilities from Pueblo of Acoma and the neighboring City
of Grants, industrial activities, leachate from open dumps, and
septic systems. The Pueblo was granted TAS for the Acomita
Restoration Project. Acomita Lake is supplied through and from the
Rio San Jose River but because of contamination from this source,
the lake is currently dry and is being restored so that it can be used
primarily for irrigation purposes, and for recreational and economic
development in the future. ^Statement by Stanley Pavtiamo. Acoma Pueblo
Environmental Protection Specialist
There was satisfactory bacteriological monitoring from December
1996 - February 1997. Initial lead and copper monitoring studies
were conducted in 1993-94 and will resume in FY97.
In 1995 the Pueblo experienced a severe water shortage and the
National Guard temporarily provided water to the community. The
Pueblo, along with IMS, has identified this as a priority issue and a
study will be conducted to find other sources, statement by Stanley
Paytiamo, Acoma Pueblo Environmental Protection Specialist
The Pueblo of Acoma uses several lined evaporation sewage
lagoon systems for wastewater treatment. Septic tanks are also
used

created by Cochiti Dam, stores a minimum of 52,330 acre feet of water.
History: This site has been occupied by Cochiti people since before the Spanish came in 1540 AD. They
moved to nearby Horn Mesa during the Pueblo Revolt, but returned to their original location in 1696
"allowing a devastating attack by de Vargas. The Cochiti are .served by the mission and attending priests
of San Buenaventura, the patron saint. Although not all members participate in tribal ceremonies, many
belong to the Pumpkin or Turquoise Kiva. The Cochiti continue to follow an unwritten set of policies, or
common law, and problems are solved on the basis of precedent. If a new situation confronts the
Cochiti, the Tribal Council discusses the issue until a consensus is reached which then becomes
precedent.

Water bodies within the Pueblo of Cochiti include: the Rio
Grande, the Santa Fe River Cochiti Reservoir, and several
intermittent/ephemeral streams and springs. The Pueblo of
Cochiti diverts a portion of the Santa Fe River for its fish-
rearing operation. The Pueblo has worked primarily with the
Department of Energy/Los Alamos National Laboratory on
environmental matters. The Pueblo's environmental staff has
also worked closely with New Mexico Environment Department
on several surface wate/ monitoring projects, which were
initiated by POEP. Draft water quality standards have been
prepared for the Tribal Council's consideration. Sources of
impairment of water quality include: agriculture,
hydromodification (Cochiti Dam), recreational activities,
upstream NPDES dischargers, and an abandoned uranium
mine.
Cochiti's surface water resources all lie within the Rio Grande
watershed which include the Rio Grande mainstem that flows
through the reservation and is impounded by Cochiti Dam a
few miles from the Pueblo de Cochiti. As a result of the
impoundment of Cochiti Lake there are wetlands, ponds, and
lagoons and a complex of canals and irrigation ditches that
regulate distribution of surface water for agricultural purposes
downstream.
Surface water is used for food and feed crop irrigation,
livestock watering, fishing/boating and other recreational
purposes, fish rearing, wetlands/habitat improvement, and for
cultural/ceremonial uses. Presently the Cochiti Lake
Dam/Reservoir, with a 52,330 acre storage capacity, is being
utilized for recreational activities. The main outlet of the dam
is operated by the tribe as a revenue-generating fishing
operation. CEPO Workplan - December 1996

PRELIMINARY ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT
There was satisfactory bacteriological monitoring from
December 1996 - February 1997. Initial lead and copper
monitoring studies were conducted in 1993-94 and will resume
in FY97.
Ground water occurs in shallow alluvial water table aquifers
in the immediate vicinity of the Pueblo and in deeper bedrock
aquifers within the reservation. Ground water is the primary
source for domestic water supplies at the Pueblo, the housing
development, and the golf course facility. Gro'Jiid water is
also used for irrigation, wastewater treatment and livestock
watering.
A recent discovery of deep ground water tritium contamination
within the Los Alamos National Laboratory facility has raised
concerns of tritium and other radiochemical pollutants that may
be impacting ground water and surface water resources. CEPO
Workplan - December 1996
The Pueblo uses several sewage lagoons for wastewater
treatment. One of the systems is an NPDES permitted sewage
lagoon which discharges approximately 0.061 MGD into the
Rio Grande.
Non-discharging IMS designed facultative lagoons are used to
treat wastewater. There are approximately 150-200 homes
served by the centralized wastewater treatment system. The
present lagoon system consists of three cells, and IHS is
proposing a 5.5 acre expansion to accommodate 44 new HUD
homes. In a recent site inspection, the only two concerns that
were'noted was the site location and the absence of a liner in
the third and most recent cell expansion. Due to the
gravitational flow design of the facultative lagoon, the site is
located along the river floodplain where the potential threat of
wastewater pollutants entering the river is always a concern.
Even with the most recent mitigation efforts to control the
fluctuating water table, the proximity of the lagoon site to the
water table problem area is clearly an available pathway for
non-point source pollution of ground water and surface water,
especially from cells without liners. CEPO Workplan - December

Geographical boundaries: The large reservation stretches across the fertile bottom land of the Rio Grande.
History: Isleta Pueblo was established around 1300 AD and has been, with one exception, inhabited
continuously since. The Isletas were the only Pueblo that did not participate in the 1680 revolt. However, when
de Otermin returned a year later in a feeble attempt to reconquest, the Pueblo resisted. Otermin retaliated by
destroying the village and taking hundreds of Isletas with him to El Paso. The remaining residents took refuge
with other Pueblos. Some of the refugees formed the Tigua Pueblo south of El Paso. It was not until 1709 that
he Pueblo was fully reestablished.
Isleta brought two land claims before the Indian Claims Commission in 1959, though both were dismissed.
The Isleta people have been very successful in consolidating existing land allotments into commercial farms.
By the 1960's about 75 percent of the farmlands had been rehabilitated and organized. The Pueblo passed
a constitution in 1947 establishing voting rights and the political hierarchy. Com groups and moiety
memberships still play an important role in Isleta ceremonial and religious life.

The Pueblo currently receives no CAA §103 or §105 grants. An EPA
funded emissions inventory was performed in 1994. The following air
emissions sources and pollutants were identified by POEP (Pueblo Office
of Environmental Protection) air quality control program in 1993: Sandia
National Labs - participate matter and radio-nuclides; Wall Colmonoy
Industrial facility - air toxics, particulate matter; Inhalation and Toxicology
Research Institute - air toxics; incinerator (burns tribal wastes) - particulate
matter; Isleta open trench - methane gas; several open dumps - methane
gas; Pueblo open dump (open burning) - particulate matter; wood and coal
burrvng - carbon monoxide (CO), particulate matter and sulfur dioxide
(Q02j; and dirt roads - particulate matter.
The Isleta Environment Department (IED) is working with the Agency for
Toxic Substance and Disease Registry (ATSDR) in performing short-term,
low volume sampling of indoor and outdoor air particulates, and sampling
of soils and debris in residential air plena (crawl spaces) to evaluate the
impacts of historic and continuing discharges of hazardous metals from the
Wall Colmonoy Isleta foundry. IED is also working with staff of the
AIPC/POEP Air Quality Program to site an additional, long term PM10air
monitor at the neighboring Isleta Recreation Center to assess ambient
particulate metal concentrations*resulting from foundry emissions.
In addition, Interstate 25, State Road 47, 45, and 314, and the railroad all
intersect the Pueblo adding to air quality issues.
There is no known response plan in place. IED has expressed interest in
developing a Local Emergency Planning Committee (LEPC) and increasing
community capacity. The Pueblo of Isleta (POI) emergency services and
public safety personnel attended and successfully completed training in
May 1997, and received EPA 165.15 certificates.
Acceding to tabulated 1992 data, there is one facility - Wall Colmonoy
- within the reservation border. Status of this source is not known at this
time. There is a potential issue with TRI industry expansion to include
metal mining. A copper mine is located within the Pueblo boundary. There
is no known program in place to address TRI issues on Pueblo lands.
Hazardous Waste:
A Compliance Evaluation Inspection was completed in February 1997 at
the Wall Colmonoy Corporation facility. The inspection report has not
been completed yet. In addition, there is concern regarding an explosives
formulation plant within reservation boundaries. There is concern
regarding potential fuel oil contamination and the use of ammonium nitrate.

increased waste volume and costs associated with full operation of the
transfer station in the absence of landfill disposal capacity due to closure.
IED is working with the Tribal Council to secure funding for a tub grinder
which will be used to reduce wood waste into landscaping chips, thereby
diverting and recycling a significant portion of the waste stream. EPA will

badly needed supply capacity to the Westside system, which has the
largest service population of four community systems operated by the tribe.
The Pueblo of Isleta uses sewage facultative lagoon systems for
wastewater treatment. An enhanced facultative lagoon was recently
constructed. Septic tanks are' also used.
There have been no specific problems identified to date. The Pueblo's
wetlands represent an extensive and unique resource. IED is considering
the possibility of future studies to delineate the resource and create '
wetlands management plan. The " Isleta Swamps" presently covei
hundreds of acres.

Geographical boundaries: The Pueblo is set in the Canon de San Diego surrounded by cliffs and high mesas.
History: Having originated from a place in the underworld called Hua-na-tota, the ancestors to the Jemez Nation
migrated to the Canon de San Diego region from the Four Comers area in the late fourteenth century. By the time the
first European contact was made in 1541, the Jemez nation was one of the largest and most powerful of all Puebloan
cultures. Forty years passed before there was contact again with Europeans. In 1598 Franciscan priest Fray Alonzo
de Lugo built the area's first church at the Jemez village of Giusewa. At the time of Spanish contact, the population
'as estimated at 30,000. The next eighty years were filled with numerous revolts, mostly as a result of the Spanish
tempts to force Christianity on the Jemez and make the Jemez perfple move into two villages where the missions
were located.
The hostilities peaked during the Pueblo Revolt of 1680, during which the Spanish were expelled from the New
Mexico province. By 1688 the Spanish had begun their reconquest. It was not until 1696 that the Jemez would be
completely subdued. Soon afterwards most of the Jemez land was taken away by the Spanish clergy and military and
the Jemez people were forced to move into the single village of Walatowa, where they reside today. In 1838 peoples
from the Pueblo of Pecos resettled at the Pueblo of Jemez. The Pecos culture was integrated into Jemez culture and
both continue to exist today.
The secular tribal government includes the Tribal Council, Jemez governor, two lieutenant governors, two
fiscales, and a sheriff. The second lieutenant governor is also the governor of the Pueblo of Pecos. Traditional matters]
are handled through a separate governing body, the Supreme Council, which is comprised of the cacique and other
spiritual and society leaders, a war captain, and a lieutenant war captain. The entire Pueblo is bas~u on a Council
decision making progress.
Current Leadership: Governor Joseph Toya; 1 st Lt. Governor Gregory Toya; 2nd Lt. Governor Benny Shendo
Selection process of tribal leaders: Appointed annually by traditional spiritual leaders between December 29 and
January 1. Tribal Council members, comprised of former Governors, serve life

Address: P.O. Box 507 - Dulce, NM 87528
Phone: 505-759-3242 Fax: 505-759-3005
Internet: no CIS capability: no
Geographical boundaries: Located in north central New Mexico, the reservation's geography ranges
from 6400 feet above sea level in high desert to over 10,600 feet above sea level in rugged mountains.
The reservation contains numerous lakes and twenty major watersheds. The only town, Dulce, is
located in the northern portion of the reservation.
History: "The Jicarillas were one of six southern Athapascan groups which migrated out of Canada
sometime between A. D. 1300 and 1500. Their traditional American Southwest homeland covered more
than 50 million acres spreading across the central and eastern region of northern New Mexico and
adjoining portions of southern Colorado and western Oklahoma. The Jicarillas preserved much of their
fundamental Athapascan culture after settling in the Southwest, but gradually adopted some of the
cultural traits of their aboriginal neighbors from the Plains and the Upper Rio Grande. The Tribe's
sovereign rights are vested in the Tribal Council, which serves as the legislative body, and an executive
branch, which is headed by a president and vice president. The Tribe has created and funds an
independent Tribal court of general jurisdiction. The Jicarilla's were the first tribe in the United States
to acquire and operate their own oil and gas production company."
Current Leadership:
Roger Vicenti, Acting-President
Selection process of tribal le^^rs: Tribal members 18 and older vote in a general election every four
years in July. Section 1. TUB legislative powers of the Jicarilla Apache Tribe shall be exercised by the
Tribal Council, which shall hold its sessions at the seat of the tribal government. Section 2. The tribal
council shall consist of eight members, elected at large from the membership of the Jicarilla Apache
Tribe. Section 7. A primary election to select candidates for the offices of president and vice president
shall be held at least 30 days before each general election of the tribe at which the office of president
and vice president are to be voted on. Section 8. General elections for the Offices of President and
Vice President shall be held every four (4) years on the second Saturday following National
Independence Day.

PRELIMINARY ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT
Air: The Jicarilla Apache Tribe's air quality program has received Clean Air Act
§103 and §105 funds for the assessment of air quality and program
development since 1993. The Jicarilla's reservation is located within the
Four Corners region, which is characterized as a rural area with oil and gas
production but no heavy industry. Generally, this area is considered to
have good air quality despite a lack of quantit?tive data. With the
development of energy reserves, resulting in emissions of S02, TSP, and
NOx, the Jicarilla Apache Tribe is seriously concerned about the
implication of change for its land, environment, and people. Therefore,
requested funding has primarily provided the tribe with support to develop
s an r-v monitoring network. Currently, the Tribe maint&M is three mnitors
and is the only tribal air monitoring being performed in the Region. The
annual budget is $83,000.
Emergency Response: EPA has provided grant ft-nds to study and develop an emergency plan.
The Tribe is designated as a Tribal Emergency Response Committee
(TERC).

The Jicarilla Apache Tribe (JAT) has received Pesticide funding from EPA
since FY ?3. They have developed their own regulations for trv use of
chemical pesticides on the reservation. Their Pesticide Control Office
requires all pesticide applicators operating on the reservation to have a
valid New Mexico or National EPA commercial or private applicator's
license. All applicators operating on the Reservation are required to
register with the JAT Pesticide Control Office (PCO) to obtain a tribal
applicator permit. All pesticide use on the Reservation must be approved
by the PCO prior to use on the Reservation. The PCO enforces this
ordinance as well as inspecting applications of pesticides in housing and
outdoors. In addition, they inspect pesticide products in the market place
to assure that they are properly labeled and registered with the EPA and
are properly disposed of, if necessary. They provide public information on
proper pesticide use during health fairs and via radio announcements.

The Tribe will receive an additional Pesticide award in FY 97 for a
community-based project which will include the hosting of two pesticide
workshops to interested Tribes in New Mexico on pesticide use and safety
issues. The JAT inspectors will also conduct market place and site
inspections with the staff of other interested Tribes, on their lands, and
conduct follow up inspections on paperwork and remediation projects within
the various market places of the participating tribes and pueblos.
The Jicarilla Apache Tribe is located in a high radon potential area. The
Jicarilla's current radon grant of $30,000 is for the purpose of maintaining
a rador. program which they began in 1993. A main objec+;ve of the radon
program is to conduct outreach to the tribal members concerning the hep.lth
risks of radon and the availability of testing. Another main objective is to
test schools, tribal buildings, and residences. The radon program is also
beginning to integrate indoor air information into its radon outreach efforts.
There are no known regulated sources on tribal land.
Information available from the First Annual Report for Open Dumps on
Indian Lands (dated October 20, 1995), it is believed the Tribe has onp
open dump that is considered a^moderate relative threat to human healt
and the environment. No information is available on transfer stations or
alternate disposal facilities. EPA will be working with the tribe, IMS, and
BIA to close the open dumps and ensure that alternative solid waste
disposal systems are in place.
There have been no specific problems identified to date.
There are three injection wells on the Jicarilla Apache reservation.
The EPA has direct enforcement of the DIG program on indirn lands and
the -.veils are inspected annually. All wells are currently in compliance.
Based on previous conversations with the Tribe, it is believed the
Tribe has approximately sixteen USTs on Tribal Lands. Four are believed
to be active and twelve are believed to be inactive. Only one site, the
Patrol 45-64 site, is registered with EPA. The EPA will work with the Tribe,
IHS, and BIA to have all tanks registered and determine which tanks have
met the 1998 leak prevention, leak detection and corrosion protection
requirements by the end of the year.

Other Issues:
Water bodies within the Jicarilla Apache Tribe include: the Navajo
River, Armago Creek, Lajara Creek, Boulder Creek, 13 large lakes, and
numerous ponds, springs and intermittent streams. The Quality Assurance
Project Plan for monitoring of water quality was approved by EPA in 1995.
The Jicarilla Apache Tribe has developed a Nonpoint Source Assessment
and Management Plan, which were subsequently approved by EPA Region
6. Under a §319 grant (NPS), the Tribe will address nonpoint source
issues associated with rangelands and oil and gas production. The Tribe
has expressed interest in developing water quality standards. Sources of
irri.ciirment to water quality include: oil and gas activities, cf :;spools, septic
jystems, landfills, grazing, timber and logging o .Cities, commercial
development, electric generating stations, ranching anH recreation.
The Jicarilla Apache receive their drinking water from a surface water
facility, serving approximately 4,000 tribal members. This is the only Indian
surface water facility in New Mexico, and is operated by the Bureau of
Indian Affairs (BIA). Region 6 drinking water staff conducted a
comprehensive performance evaluation of the Jicarilla water treatment
plant about a year ago and identified factors limiting optimum performance.
The final report from this evaluation has not yet been provided to the tribe,
but should be available soon. Drinking water regulatory requirements will
be tightened November, 1998*for surface water treatment facilities, and
operational process control at the Jicarilla facility will need to be improved
to comply with these upcoming regulations. Infrastructure improvements
could also be achieved through the Drinking Water State Revolving Fund
set aside for Indian tribes, if the water system is owned and operated by
the tribe.
The town of Dulce has an NPDES permit and discharges less than 0.5
MCO into Armago Creek. Septic systems are also' used -..ithin the
res«rvai,on.
EPA awarded a wetland grant in FY96 ($61,000) to develop a Tribal
Wetland Conservation Plan. Two AISES interns will be assisting with the
Plan (surveys, identification, and delineation) during the summer of FY97.
The Jicarilla Apache Tribe, in conjunction with the Pueblo of Taos, were
awarded a $550,000 two-year grant to develop an integrative waste
management program. Included in the program is SARA subtitle III
emergency response planning, RCRA subtitle C hazardous waste
management, RCRA subtitle D solid waste management, and RCRA
subtitle I underground storage tanks activities.

Geographical boundaries: Most of the Pueblo lands are situated in the Datil section of the Colorado
Plateaus physiographic province, which is characterized by high mesas, canyons, and abundant
evidence of volcanic activity.
History: The land around present day Laguna Pueblo had been occupied for over 3,000 years, though
the modern Pueblo was not established until 1699. The occupants are said to have been refugees from
'he Pueblo Revolt of 1680 and represented five Pueblos and four language groups. The residents of
Old Laguna formed six villages which include: Mesita, Paguate, Paraje, Encinal, and Seama. Each
village, although part of a larger whole, are autonomous to some degree.
Current Leadership:
Governor Roland Johnson; 1st Lt. Governor Emmet Hunt
2nd Lt. Governor Michael Lucero
Selection process of tribal leaders:
A general election is held the third Monday of December of
each even-numbered year. Installation of elected officers is
held no later than January 6 of each odd-number year.

PRELIMINARY ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT
There are no known regulated sources on Pueblo land.
According to the POEP, there are nine open dumps. A
transfer station has been constructed. EPA will be working
with the Pueblo, POEP, IMS, and BIA to close the open dumps
and ensure that alternative solid waste disposal systems are
in place..
A preliminary assessment (PA) was completed and si Emitted
to the EPA on May 3, 1993 for Laguna Burneil Iriuustrips. A
site inspection (SI) report was submitted to EPA on August 31,
1994. The site was recommended for no further action
planned.
A preliminary assessment (PA) was completed and submitted
to the EPA on March 24, 1995 for the Laguna Pueblo Mart.
The site was deemed lower priority.
The POEP identified eight UST sites that are active or tempor-
arily abandoned. Only 3 of these sites are registered with
EPA. The EPA will work with the Pueblo and POEP to have all
tanks registered and determine which tanks have met the 1998
leak prevention, leak detection and corrosion protection
requirements by the end of the year. Releases are suspected
at the Casa Blanca Service Station and the Laguna Mart. No
information is available on the status of these sites.
A field citation was issued to the Laguna Pueblo Mart due to
violations founc during a compliance inspection conducted in
June of 1996. The violations were for failure to . mce a
release detection system in accordance with the EPA UST
regulation found at 40 CFR Part 280. Failure to install release
detections systems can result in significant contamination. A
penalty of $50 was charged.
Water bodies within the Pueblo of Laguna include: the Rio
Puerco, the Rio San Jose, Acoma Creek, intermittent or
ephemeral streams and numerous small lakes and springs.
The Pueblo's environmental staff has expressed interest in the
Clean Water Act programs.

PRELIMINARY ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT
Non-point source pollution includes the following: agricultural
runoff including fertilizers, herbicides, pesticides, and animal
waste; discharge from sewage lagoons located within the
reservation; surface runoff or overland flow carrying petroleum
hydrocarbons from parking lots, roads, and highways; leach
fields associated with septic tank systems; and leaking
underground storage tanks. Point source pollution includes
the following: sewage lagoons' industrial activity with the
Pueblo; and upstream industrial activity.
Tnere was satisfactory bacteriological monitoring from
December 1996 - February 1997. Initial lead and copper
monitoring studies w *re conducted in 1993-94 and will resume
in FY97.
Wastewater Treatment: There are 13 operational sewage lagoons which were
constructed in the sixties. All of them have some kind of
leakage protection as lining, rock plating or tested for
permeability soil bed. Laguna Industries, which is tribally
owned and operated orrthe Laguna reservation, requires
special consideration. Because of heavy metal contamination,
this company has been transporting technological wastewater
to Albuquerque for special treatment.
Wetlands:
EPA awarded a state wetland grant in 1994 ($74,122) to
develop a State Wetlands Conservation Plan. As of this date,
the Plan has not been completed.

Geographical boundaries: Located in the Sacramento Mountain Range of the Southern Rocky
Mountains, the reservation's geography ranges from 5,600 feet rising to 12,003 feet above sea level.
History: The Mescalero Apaches were one of the groups of Athapascan people who migrated out of
Canada into the Southwest. Descendants from the Chiricahua, Lipan, and Mescalero band of
Apaches now populate the reservation. Legendary leaders such as Cochise, Geronimo, and Victorio
were part of the Chiricahua band of Apaches. The Tribe was recognized under the Indian
Reorganization Act of 1934. The Mescalero Apache Tribal Council, composed of a president, vice
president, and eight at-large members, serves as the governing body for enrolled tribal members.

Information available from the First Annual Report for Open Dumps en
Indian Lands (dated October 20, 1995), states that the Tribe has one
open dump that is considered a high relative threat to human health and
thr environment. No information is available on transfer stations or
altPrnai«5 disposal facilities. EPA will be working with the trih<=, IMS, and
BIA ^0 close the open dumps and ensure that alternative &uiid waste
disposal systems are in place.
There have been no specific problems identified to date.
Based on previous conversations with the Tribe, it is believed they
have approximately five USTs, but the status of each UST is unknown.
Only one site, the Mescalero National Fish Hatchery, is registered with
EPA. The Indian Health Service (IHS) and the Bureau of Indian Affairs
(BIA) are believed to have managed several USTs for the Tribe, but
none are registered with EPA. The EPA will work with the Tribe, IHS,

Water bodies within the Mescalero Apache Tribe reservation
include: the Rio Tularosa, Springs Creek, Carizzo Creek, Rio Ruidoso,
Indian Creek, Rinconada Creek, several small lakes, and numerous
springs and intermittent streams. Headwaters of the Northern Tularosa
Basin are located in the reservation along with two major drainages to
the Pecos River. The Tribe will begin development of a Nonpoint
Source Assessment and Management Plan in summer 1997. Sources
of impairment of water quality include: road maintenance and
construction, forest management (timber cutting ar. jki resorts ),
waste water systems, gracing, recreation, and consul"~t._.i of new
homes.
The Mescalero Apache has ten public water systems on their tribal
lands. These include seven community systems (Community, BIA
Agency, Windmill, Mud Canyon/Harley, Carrizo, Fence Canyon/Snow
Springs and Nogal Canyon), one non-transient, non-community system
(Inn of the Mountain Gods) and two non-community systems (Silver
Lake and Eagle Creek Trailer Village). All these systems utilize ground
water from wells or natural springs and only the larger systems
(Community and BIA Agency) provide disinfection treatment. Water
quality has been generally good with an occasional bacteriological
problem that requires shock disinfection, flushing the system and
resampling to assure restored good quality. The systems have various
infrastructure problems such as source capacity, lack of a back-up
supply, need for disinfection, storage deficiencies and distribution lines
upgrades which can be addressed by the Tribe or under IMS project
funding and, possibly, through our Indian SRF Program. The systems
aiso have some administrative difficulties relating to the various entities
which are involved (the Tribe, BIA, the Tribal Housing Authority, and
,, ibal Parks and Recreation). The Tribal Environmental Office is trying
to coordinate these efforts, enlist operator training and seek funding
from all available sources for system improvements.
Sewage lagoon systems are used within the reservation. There are no
NPDES discharges within the reservation.
There are no known problems at this time.

Reservation begins at the headwaters of the Nambe River, a stream which provides water for irrigation
of the Pojoaque Valley year round.
History: A Tewa speaking community, the Nambe have inhabited the Pueblo since around 1300 AD.
There is a heavy Spanish influence resulting from colonization and extensive intermarriage which has
created a blend of beliefs and ceremonies. The Pinon nut, and other foods from the mountains, are still
used in traditional dishes. Recently, the Nambe added atierd of young buffalo.

In meetings with Pueblo representatives, there were concerns
regarding septic tanks in the ski area north of Nambe affecting
the lake. In addition, erosion problems may be caus'ng
S"spended solid probloms.
This system had a "Bacteriological MCL" violation in
December 1996, based on "positive" total coliform sample

Other issues:
The fact that these quality problems are occurring in
mid-winter is somewhat unusual and may indicate
disinfection, not now practiced, may need to be a continuous
treatment process for these systems, as well as improved
operation & maintenance practices. The wellhead protection
plan has not been implemented.
Initial lead and copper monitoring studies were conducted in
1993-94. The results indicated elevated ccrper levols which
will require follow-up monitoring and technical assessment to
determine appropriate corrective action. Monitoring will
resume in FY97.
There are four sewage lagoon systems (none lined) within the
reservation. The Pueblo and the Indian Health Service have
discussed the construction of a new, lined cell, which would be
the primary cell. Discussions have also included the
possibility of lining some of the existing lagoons. Septic
systems are also used within the reservation. There are no
NPDES discharges within the Reservation.
In discussions with tribal representatives, there were concerns
regarding the outdated system and the possibility of asbestos-
lined pipes. There are plans to clean the sewage collection
system in the summer of 1997.
There have been no specific problems identified to date.
In meetings with tribal representatives, there was an
expressed concern regarding the loss of habitat for a variety

Geographical boundaries: The pueblo is located on a hill above the confluence of the Rio Tesuque
and Rio Nambe rivers and overlooks the Sangre de Cristo and Jemez mountains.
History: A Tewa speaking community, the Pojoaque have survived conquest by the Spanish, a
small pox epidemic, and the disappearance of their land grant. In the early 1930's much of the land
was restored and 14 original members began to revitalize their Pueblo. The Poeh Cultural Center
and Museum, maintained by the Pojoaque Pueblo, has been key in the regeneration of artistic and
cultural traditions.

The Pueblo currently receives no CAA §103 or §105 grants.
The following air emissions sources were identified by POEP
(Pueblo Environmental Office of Protection) air quality control
program in 1993: surface mining operation - particulate
matter; abandoned Mica mine - particulate matter and radio
nuclides; Los Alamos National Labs - particulate matter and
radio nuclides; open dump - methane gas; tribal open dump
(burning) - particulate matter; wood and coal burning - carbon
monoxide (CO), particulate matter, and sulfur dioxide (S02);
and dirt roads - particulate matter.
In discussions with Pueblo representatives, there was a
concern regarding transportation-related air issues created by
traffic on Highway 284/85.
Training courses covering emergency response were
provided to the Eight Northern Tribes. No additional training
since 1990. Pueblo representatives have expressed concern
related to the proximity of bos Alamos National Labs and
cargo transport to the Waste Isolation Pilot Project.
An inventory of TRI facilities on or near this Pueblo has not
been generated. Status of potential sources is not known at
this time. There is no known program in place to address TRI
issues on Pueblo lands.
No hazardous waste problems identified. No known RCRA
facilities are located on pueblo land.

An MOA between the Pueblo and the County exists. The
MOA includes the construction of a transfer station and
management of solid waste programs. Currently, the county
is working with the Pueblo in the closure of the open dump.
A preliminary assessment (PA) was completed and submitted
to the EPA on August 11,1993 for Jacona landfill. The
landfill was recommended for further action and a sampling
event was completed March 6-8, 1995. A site inspection (SI)
report is being finalized for submission to the EPA.
POEP identified four UST sites that are active or temporarily
abandoned. Two additional sites are believed to be
abandoned (Old Blue Eyed Indian Shop - now Water Office
and one site across from Lotta-Burger), but no information is
available on whether the USTs were properly closed. Four
sites are active and registered with the EPA. One site, Minos,
has had a major release which impacted a drinking water
well. The EPA has completed a limited site investigation.
The Minos site is subject to a jurisdictional disagreement with
the New Mexico Environmental Department (NMED), though
the site is within the bounds of the Pueblo.
Water bodies within the Pueblo of Pojoaque include: Rio
Pojoaque (Pojoaque Creek and Rio Tesuque), and irrigation
ditches. The Pueblo of Pojoaque adopted Water Quality
Standards in December 1995, which were subsequently
approved by EPA in March 1996. Staff of the Environment
Department has drafted a Quality Management Plan (QMP) to
cover water quality monitoring and other programs; however,
the QMP has not been submitted to EPA for approval. The
Pueblo must also develop a Quality Assurance Project Plan
for approval by EPA before commencement of monitoring.
Sources of impairment of water quality include: on-site
wastewater systems, illegal dumping, grazing, road run-off,
agricultural return flows, and recreation (off-road vehicles)

This system had a "Bacteriological MCL/acute" violation in
January 1997, based on positive total and fecal coliform
sample results. A Notice of Violation was sent and the
Pueblo was directed to issue a Public Notice under the Safe
Drinking Water Act. The follow-up samples in January were
satisfactory and the February samples were good. The tribal
attorney called regarding the Public Notice requirement, but
r,o notice was issued.
Pueblo representatives are concerned with nitrates in the
ground water.
Wastewater Treatment: The Pueblo currently uses a sewage lagoon system. Septic
systems and cesspools may also be used within the
reservation. The Pojoaque Terraces Mobile Home Park has
an NPDES permit and discharges less than 20,000 gallons
per day into a ditch to Pojoaque Creek. The Pueblo has
authorization to certify (or deny) all federal permits under
CWA §401 and will review the NPDES permit when it is
proposed for reissuance.
The Pueblo is considering a regional proposal that could
serve Nambe, Pojoaque, San lldefonso, and 8,000+ non-
Indians.

Geographical boundaries: "The Pueblo's southern boundary in effect creates the northern city limits of
Albuquerque: the Rio Grande river forms the western boundary and the rapidly growing community of
Bernalillo forms the northern boundary. The Sandia Mountains represent the eastern boundary of the
reservation and have altitudes ranging from 5,000 feet in the Rio Grande valley to 8,200 feet at its highest
point in the foothills. The Rio Grande valley is a relatively wide flood plain that is principally used for farming
and ranching activities. The bosque and woodlands area along the river provide a natural wildlife habitat.
The mesa area in the middle and eastern part of the reservation is a relatively dry, flat alluvial plain."
History: Archeological evidence indicates that the site has been occupied since at least 1300 A. D. At the time
of the Pueblo Revolt, Sandia's population was 3,000 strong. The Pueblo was burned by the retreating
Spanish in 1680 and again during early attempts by the Spanish to reconquer. After their village was
destroyed, the Sandia people fled first to the Sandia Mountains and later to the Hopi mesas. It was not until
1748 that the Sandia people were allowed to return to their traditional lands.

San Juan abandoned dump preliminary assessment (PA) was completed
and submitted to EPA on March 15,1995. The site was recommended for
no further remedial action planned (NFRAP).
A preliminary assessment (PA) was completed and submitted to the EPA
on January 31, 1994 for the San Juan open dump. A focused site
inspection was recommended by EPA and POPE Superfund conducted
a sampling event February 21 -22,1996. A site inspection (SI) report was
submitted to EPA on October 1,1996. EPA will determine whether further
action is warranted.
The POEP identified 16 UST facilities that are active or temporarily
abandoned. Only four of these facilities are registered with EPA. The
EPA will work with the Pueblo and POEP to have all tanks registered and
determine which tanks have met the 1998 leak prevention, leak detection
and corrosion protection requirements by the end of the year. No
petroleum releases have been reported at any of these facilities. There
are numerous unresolved jurisdictional concerns with the New Mexico
Environmental Department (NMED).
Water bodies within the Pueblo of San Juan include: the Rio Grande, the
Rio Chama, irrigation ditches, and several fishing lakes. The Pueblo of
San Juan adopted Water Quality Standards in 1992, which were
subsequently approved by EPA in 1993. The Pueblo is currently working
on a triennial revision of its Water Quality Standards. A Quality
Management Plan, which covers sampling for the water quality program,
was approved by the Pueblo and by EPA in 1996. The Quality Assurance
Project P'an for water mor.itoring was approved by the Pueblo end EPA
i. 11997. Sources of impairment to water quality include agriculture, hydro
modification, erosion, septic systems, illegal dumping, turtle pond
construction and sand and gravel mining along the river.
There was satisfactory bacteriological monitoring from December 1996-
February 1997. Initial lead and copper monitoring studies were
conducted in 1993-94 and will resume in FY97.
The Pueblo currently uses a sewage lagoon system. Septic systems are
also used within the reservation. There are no NPDES discharges within
the reservation or immediately upstream
Awarded a state wetland grant in 1993 for $246,519 to develop a State
Wetlands Conservation Plan. The plan was completed August 1996.

(FSI) at one site and a sampling event is scheduled. A decision for
further action at the second site is still pending.
Twelve active UST facilities have been identified by POF.P
(11 of which are within the Pueblo boundaries, but owned by non-

monitoring of water quality and wetlands is expected to be
approved by the Pueblo and EPA in August 1997. The Office df
Environmental Affairs has drafted a Nonpoint Source Assessment
and will also develop a Nonpoint Source Management Plan.
Sources of impairment to water quality include: siltation, low flow
from upstream impoundment, illegal dumping, land development,
urban runoff, storm sewers, riparian grazing, erosion due to hydro
modification, USTs, and silviculture.

There was satisfactory bacteriological monitoring from
December 1996 - February 1997. Initial lead and copper
monitoring studies were conducted in 1993-94 and will resume in
FY97. EPA was asked by the Tribal Office of Environmental Affairs
to provide technical review of a draft Operations & Maintenance

The Pueblo uses two sewage lagoon systems. There are also
several septic systems and chemical toilets in Santa Clara Canyon.
The City of Espanola has an NPDES permit and discharges
approximately 1 MGD into the Rio Grande. The Pueblo has
authorization to certify (or deny) all federal permits under CWA
§401 and will review Espanola's NPDES permit when it is proposed

sites are registered with EPA. The EPA will work with the Pueblo
and POEP to have all tanks registered and determine which tanks
have met the 1998 leak prevention, leak detection and corrosion
protection requirements by the end of the year. A petroleum
release is suspected at the Domingo Station Tra i;i~g Post, but no
information in available to confirm this information.
A field citation was issued to the Santo Domingo Tribal Station
due to violations found during a compliance inspection conducted
in June of 1996. The violations were for failure to operate a
release detection system in accordance with the EPA LIST
regulation found at 40 CFR Part 280. Failure to install release
detection systems can result in significant contamination. A
penalty of $1,200 was issued.
Water bodies within the Pueblo of Santo Domingo include: the
Rio Grande, Galisteo Creek, irrigation canals and ditches and
several intermittent/ephemeral streams. Sources of impairment
of water quality include: agriculture and wastewater treatment.
(POEP, 1995)
There was satisfactory bacteriological monitoring from December
1996 through February 1997. Initial lead and copper monitoring

Geographical boundaries: The pueblo is located at the base of the Taos Mountain in the
foothills of the Sangre de Cristo mountains.
History: A Tiwa speaking community, Taos dates back to the 1400's. The Pueblo was
abandoned in 1598 when the inhabitants fled to Kansas to avoid Spanish subjugation. The
group was tracked down and forced to return by Spanish soldiers. Taos was actively involved
in the Pueblo Revolt of 1680. It was in Taos that Pope lived and prepared for his leading role
in the revolt. In 1847 Taos warriors staged another revolt against American forces, killing
Governor Charles Bent the process. In retaliation Colonel Sterling Price laid siege to the
pueblo, destroyed the mission, and killed 250 Taos warriors. Taos is renowned for the
ancient multi-story adobe dwellings built to house many families at peak occupancy.

PRELIMINARY ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT
There are no known regulated sources on pueblo land. Low-grade
natural uranium deposits contribute to radon concerns in those
Pueblo dwellings m?de of adobe bricks. The Pueblo is also down
gradient of DOE's Los Alamos National Laboratory and has
expressed concerns with potential radionucleid'j air emissions from
that facility. Tranuranic waste from Los Alamos will pass through
the middle of the Pueblo as it is shipped from Los Alamos to the
Waste Isolation Pilot Project near Carlsbad, New Mexico leading to
additional concerns.
There are several "open dumps", per the definition at 40 CFR
§257.2, although none of them are currently receiving solid waste.
These dumps are only known to contain construction waste. There
is a short-term MOA between the Pueblo and Santa Fe county for
free hauling and disposal of wastes. The Pueblo is in the process
of developing its own transfer station. IMS has granted $160,000 to
address the issue. EPA will be working with the Pueblo, POEP,
IMS, and BIA to identify and close the open dumps and once closed
ensure an long term alternative solid waste management system is
in place. The Pueblo has just adopted its first solid waste ordnance
and is in the process of developing and implementing its
regulations. The ordinance prohibits any disposal of solid waste or
hazardous waste within the exterior boundaries of the Reservation.
A preliminary assessment (PA) was completed and submitted on
Tesuque open dump to the EPA on September 9, 1994. The site
was classified as no further remedial action planned.
A preliminary assessment (PA) was completed and submitted on
Alexander Gravel to the EPA on May 30, 1996. A decision io still
pending.
There are no known active UST facilities on Tesuque Pueblo Lands.
One UST was previously removed from Tesuque Maintenance
Yard. No information is available on who removed the UST or
whether contamination exists. Previous UST removed from 7-11
site. Confirmed release was reported and Berridge District was
reported by POEP as having remediated the facility. Berridge.
District has been uncooperative with the Tribe and has chosen to
recognize the New Mexico Environmental Department (NMED) as
the regulatory agency, though the site is clearly on Federal land.
Only one UST facility is registered with EPA. The EPA will work
with the Pueblo and POEP to have all tanks registered and
determine which tanks have met the 1998 leak prevention, leak
detection and corrosion protection requirements by the end of the
year.

PRELIMINARY ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT
Water bodies within the Pueblo of Tesuque include: the Rio
Tesuque and several off-stream impoundments filled from it which
are used for recreation and agricultural storage, the Rio Chupadero
and the Rio En Medio. The Pueblo of Tesuque adopted Water
Quality Standards in November 1996, which were approved by the
EPA in April. The Pueblo has drafted a Quality Management Plan
(QMP) to cover sampling under all environmental programs which
was fully approved in FY97. A Quality Assurance Project Plan for
water monitoring has also been finalized and fully approved.
oources of impairment of water quality potentially include: of i-site
waste water systems (both on and off the Pueblo), dumping (both
on and off the Pueblo), grazing (both on and off the Pueblo), road
run-off, agricultural return flows (both on and off the Pueblo), forest
management up gradient of the Pueblo (ski resorts, timber cutting)
and recreation (off-road vehicles).
Lee Wilson and Associates. 1991. Report on Pueblo of Taos Stream Standards.
Prepared for Eight Northern Indian Pueblos Council, Inc.
In addition, there are serious concerns regarding erosion
associated with dirt-roads and poorly vegetated rangelands which
are filling riverine wetlands as well as causing water quality
concerns.
There was satisfactory bacteriological monitoring from
December 1996 - February 1997. .Summer sampling in 1997
following significant rain events indicated potential bacteriological
concerns in the Pueblo's shallower wells (Administration Center and
RV Park). Initial lead and copper monitoring studies were
conducted in 1993-94 and will resume in FY97.
Wastewater Treatment:
Wetlands:
Other issues:
The Pueblo currently uses a sewage lagoon system. Septic
systems are also used within the reservation. There are no NPDES
discharges within the reservation or immediately upstream.
Wetlands were constructed to handle casino waste.
In its first year under a wetland grant issued under CWA §104(b)(3),
the Pueblo has identified several concerns leading to wetland loss
including poorly regulated dredge-and-fill activities upstream of the
Pueblo, sediment flows leading to wetland filling, and drying of the
on and off-stream sites due to invasion by non-native
phreatophytes.
The Pueblo has developed a five year environmental plan which is
currently being updated.

History: Archeological findings credit the People of Zia as being direct descendants of Chaco
Canyon, an Anasazi civilization. In Espejo's diary accounts of his 1582 expedition to New Mexico,
Zia's population was estimated at slightly over 7,000. By 1890 Zia faced imminent demise when
the population dropped to only 96 individuals. Since that time the population has continued to
grow at a tremendous rate, with the population now numbering over 700 residents. Zia retains a
I,,, strong commitment to traditional ways, including a religious system that has made gardening by
a large population in very arid land a success. The government is now run by three groups
following the imposition of secular rule by the Spanish in 1620. These include a secular council,
a secular hired staff, and a traditional religious council.

Geographical boundaries: "With elevations that range from nearly 8000 feet on the western slope of the
Continental Divide to just over 6000 feet in other areas, Zuni lands comprise a great variety of habitats and
natural resources. Physiographically, the Zuni reservation is an area of broad mesas, wide valleys and
plateaus, interspersed with numerous deep canyons and dry washes, steep mesa breaks and canyon
walls." The reservation consists of four tracts of land. The main body of the reservation borders the state
line in west central New Mexico. In addition, the reservation includes two tracts of land approximately 18
square miles in size, near the confluence of the Zuni and Little Colorado Rivers in Arizona, one square mile
vact of land around Zuni Salt Lake, and 40,000 acres of new land contiguous to the southwest portion of
.ne reservation.
History: The Zuni people have occupied the Zuni and Little Colorado River valley for more than 5,000
years. Zuni Pueblo, the principal town, was settled around 1350 A.D. The first European contact with the
Pueblos took place at Zuni in 1539. Friar de Niza returned from his visit to Zuni claiming he had seen the"
Seven Cities of Cibola", prompting Coronado's visit the next year. From 1846 to 1989 the Zuni land base
was reduced from 15,255,266 acres to 419,374 acres - less than three percent of the original size.

PRELIMINARY ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT
Air: The Pueblo currently receives no CAA §103 or §105 grants. The
following air emissions sources and pollutants were identified by
POEP (Pueblo Office of Environmental Protection) air quality
control program in 1993: medical incinerator - particulate matter,
carbon monoxide, and dioxin; seasonal agricultural burning -
particulate matter strip mining (13 on tribal lands and 1 off tribal
lands) - particulate matter; scrap and salvage yard (3 on tribal
lands and 1 off tribal lands) - methane gas, hydrocarbons, and
lead; industrial storage and disposal areas (3 on tribal lanos and
5 of tribal lands) - metha. ie gas, hydrocarbons, and lead; Pueblo
open dump (burning and contains IMS waste) - particulate matter;
wood and coal burning - carbon monoxide (CO), particulate
matter, and sulfur dioxide (S02); and dirt roads - particulate
matter.
Emergency Response: A Zuni multi hazard plan has been drafted.

No known RCRA
BIA and IMS responsibility. Status of sources is unknown. TSCA
§404(g) Cooperative Agreements have been offered since FY94.
There has been no interest from the Pueblo to develop their own
regulatory program.
There have been no specific problems identified to date.
As of the end of FY9G, no homes were identified over EPA's
radon action level. Radon is naturally occurring in this area.
There are no known regulated sources on Pueblo land.
According to the POEP, there are sixteen open dumps. A
transfer station has been constructed and opened in the fall of
1997. EPA will be working with the Pueblo, POEP, IMS, and BIA
to close the open dumps and ensure that alternative solid waste
disposal systems are in place.

The POEP has identified six LIST facilities that are active or
temporarily abandoned on Zuni Pueblo Lands. Only two of the
facilities are registered with EPA. The EPA will work with the
Pueblo and POEP to have all tanks registered and determine
which tanks have met the 1998 leak prevention, leak detection
and corrosion protection requirements by the end of the year. A
petroleum release is suspected at the Major Market Shell Station,
but no information is available to confirm this information.

Water Supply
(Drinking):
PUEBLO OF ZUNI
PRELIMINARY ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT
Water bodies within the Pueblo of Zuni include: the Zuni River,
the Rio Pescado, Rio Nutria, Black Rock Reservoir, Nutria Lakes,
several smaller lakes, and intermittent/ephemeral streams. The
Zuni Land Conservation Act of 1990 established a trust fund for
the Zuni Conservation program. Watershed and sub-watersheds
have been delineated and prioritized for restoration. Sources of
impairment of water quality include: erosion, urban development,
road maintenance, construction, and illegal dumping.
There was satisfactory bacteriological monitoring from December
1996 through February 1997. Initial lead and copper monitoring
studies were conducted in 1993-94 and will resume in FY97.
Wastewater Treatment:
Wetlands
GIS:
The Pueblo of Zuni uses two sewage lagoon systems for
wastewater treatment. The POEP surveyed both systems in 1995
to create artificial wetlands from sewage effluent.
EPA awarded a state wetland grant in 1993 ($246,519) to
develop a State Wetlands Conservation Plan. The plan was
completed in December 1996, and the tribe is involved in
mitigation of sedimentation into Nutria wetlands.
The Zuni GIS program started in January 1991, and since that
time has created 1/3 layers for tribal natural resources.
Additional layers are created using SPOT Imagery and aerial
photos. The program uses ARC/INFO 7.04 and recently
purchased Arcview 3.0 to run on a WindowsNT work station. The
program also utilizes a Global Positioning System a^d has its
own Trimble Babe 3t.ition, with two Geo-Explorers anc °ath
Finder Professional handhelds. The program is a fully capable
GIS/GPS program.

Geographical boundaries: The nineteen Pueblos are located along
the Rio Grande Valley. The Pueblos constitute over two million
acres (approximately 3000 square miles) of Indian lands. Large
urban cities, such as Albuquerque and Santa Fe, and smaller
towns like Bernaiillo, Espanola, and Taos, are located adjacent to
or surrounded by some of the Pueblos.
History: AIPC was formed prior to 1598, making it one of the first political organizations in existence in North
America. The Spanish believed the AIPC was formed to deal with the invasion and colonization of the territory
by the armies of the Spanish Crown. During the Pueblo Revolt of 1680, it was the combined efforts of all the
Pueblos which drove out the Spanish. The AIPC is one of the nation's largest intertribal consortia and is a
political and administrative entity engaged in strategies to insure the protection and self-preservation of the
Pueblo Indian Tribes' culture, religion, and way of life. As a consortium of Federally-recognized Indian Tribes,
the AIPC is empowered by and through the Pueblo Governors and Tribal Council to assist the member
Pueblos in a variety of legal, economic, environmental ancj social goals and programs available to the
individual member tribes, including planning, study and analysis of those goals and programs. The council
serves as a grantee for an increasing number of projects funded by federal, state, local and private sources.
AIPC, Inc. is a not-for-profit corporation incorporated in the State of New Mexico on June 30, 1969. It has
been granted a 501(c)(3) status for non-profit organizations by the IRS. The purpose is to provide an
organization for the 19 pueblo tribes of New Mexico through which they can centralize their efforts to advai ice
the educational, economic and social position of all the Pueblo Indians.
In 1991, The PueUo Office of En- 'ronmental Protection (POEP) was created as a branch of AIPC \r. develop
a Superfund program and to a^dr^ss «:her growing environmental concerns. PO&P is dc^ica'°d to heiping
the Pueblos develop environmental capacity and to provide technical assistance as necessary.
Current Leadership:
Chairman Roy Bemal; Vice-Chairman Juan Juanico;
Secretary-Treasurer Amadeo Shije
Selection process of AIPC officers:
Periodic elections by the Governors of the 19 Pueblos.
