Clean Water Act (CWA)
- §104(b)(3) provides
limited financial assistance for a variety of water quality
projects. Some previously-funded examples include the development
of a watershed monitoring program, water quality standards,
or nonpoint source (NPS) pollution control programs. Funding
is generally quite limited, and, as a Region 6 policy, targeted
toward Tribes and Pueblos that do not have any of the more
in-depth programs listed below.
- §106 assists Native
governments in developing the methods to plan, establish,
and maintain a fundamental program for the assessment and
protection of water resources. CWA §518 requires that a Tribe
request and receive Treatment
in the Same Manner as a State prior to receiving any funds
under this program.
- FY 2008 Tribal Guidance
** DUE DATE for grant applications and/or work plans: Tuesday, April 15, 2008
- §319(h)
provides assistance to Tribes and Pueblos to address Nonpoint
Source (NPS) pollution issues on their lands. This program
also requires Treatment
in the Same Manner as a State authorization prior to receiving
funds.
- Wetland
Protection Development Grants (WPDG) - This program provides eligible
applicants an opportunity to conduct projects that promote
the coordination and acceleration of research, investigations,
experiments, training, demonstrations, surveys, and studies
relating to the causes, effects, extent, prevention, reduction,
and elimination of water pollution as it relates to wetlands.
Safe Drinking Water Act (SDWA)
- Public Water Supply Supervision Program - provides assistance
for Native American water system operation and management
training, and technical assistance (circuit rider) projects
to develop, expand, or carry out a program for training persons
for methods and occupations involving the public health aspects
of providing safe drinking water as authorized by the Safe
Drinking Water Act ยง1442, 42 U.S.C. 300j-1 on Indian Lands
in Region 6.
