TRIBAL ASSISTANCE PROGRAM (TAP)
EPA Region 8 includes 27 Federally-recognized Tribal governments located on
26 Indian Reservations.The mission of the TAP Office is to provide leadership
in protecting public health and the environment within these areas of Indian
country; respecting the sovereignty of each Tribe; and recognizing our Federal
trust responsibilities.

Many of the Region 8 tribes have water pollution prevention programs
funded through competitive grants awarded under Section 106 of the Clean Water
Act. Scott Clow, Director of Environmental Programs for the Ute Mountain Ute
Tribe, has compiled ten tribal water quality success stories from tribes within
our region funded under these grants and you can read them
