> Training for Tribal Clean Water Act-Section 106 Programs Overview
> Twenty-three of the twenty-seven Indian tribes located within EPA-
> Region 8 currently receive EPA funding to support water quality
> monitoring programs on the reservations. Of these twenty-three tribal
> programs, approximately twelve are relatively new programs (less than
> three years old) and much of the data and information collected by the
> other tribes with more established programs has not be sufficiently
> analyzed or assessed. In addition, the programs are also affected by
> high staff turnover rates -- an issue not uncommon throughout Indian
> Country. The purpose of this project is to help address the common
> needs that exist with tribal water quality programs by offering both
> training and on-site consultation that cover a range of topics. The
> basic monitoring design workshop will benefit tribes with monitoring
> programs in the development and implementation stage and assist them
> with structuring their monitoring programs. This workshop will serve as
> either a refresher or an introduction course and will benefit tribal
> programs at any level. The overall goal of this project is to move
> tribal water monitoring programs forward in assessing water quality
> conditions on the reservation and in establishing sustainable long-term
