SECTION 1: NATIONAL CONTACTS


 
Introduction

Tribal communities and Native Alaskan Villages face significant human health and environmental problems due to the lack of adequate wastewater treatment systems. The United States Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA) Office of Wastewater Management (OWM) is committed to work with the tribes, EPA Regional offices, federal agencies, national organizations, non-profit associations and others to help secure adequate wastewater treatment and disposal systems in Indian Country. The OWM recognizes that in addition to financial assistance, other sources of support are necessary to build tribal capacity to manage their environmental programs.

To this end, OWM has published the"Clean Water Tribal Resource Directory for Wastewater Treatment Assistance". This publication is intended for use by Indian tribes and tribal environmental organizations to assist in identifying financial and technical assistance programs targeted to tribes. It can also be explored by federal representatives as a reference document in answering questions on sources of funding and technical support for tribal wastewater infrastructure.

Section one provides an overview of those federal agencies, national tribal organizations, technical assistance organizations and resource centers that provide financial, technical, and information support for wastewater treatment. Section two is organized by the 10 EPA Regional offices. For each EPA Region, a detailed listing of each federal agency and technical assistance organizations with field offices within the regional office boundary is included, along with telephone numbers and other contact information.

If you wish to receive additional copies of this Resource Directory, please contact the U.S. EPA Office of Water Resource Center at (202) 260-7786 and refer to document number EPA-832-B-98-005.

  A. Federal Agencies And Organizations
This section provides brief narrative descriptions of selected federal agencies, assistance organizations and Indian environmental organizations which offer tribes technical, financial, or management assistance. The agency contact is provided below the description of each program.

UNITED STATES ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY
Clean Water (CW) Indian Set-Aside (ISA) Grant Program
Section 518(c) of the 1987 Amendments to the Clean Water Act authorized EPA to create a grant program to help pay for the planning, design, and construction of wastewater treatment systems to serve Indian tribes and Alaska Native Villages. This EPA grant program for wastewater projects is run by Indian Set-Aside (ISA) representatives at nine of EPA's 10 Regional offices in cooperation with the 12 Area offices of the Indian Health Service (IHS). All federally recognized tribes, Alaska Native Villages, and tribes on former reservations in Oklahoma are eligible to receive a grant. To be eligible for ISA funding, a project must first be placed on the IHS Sanitation Deficiency System (SDS) priority list. ISA funds may be used for planning, design, and construction of wastewater projects, including conventional or alternative treatment facilities, collector and interceptor sewers, and onsite (septic) systems. Clean Water Indian Set-Aside contacts for each EPA Region are provided in Section 2 of this document.

EPA's American Indian Environmental Office (AIEO) and General Assistance Program (GAP)
The mission of EPA's AIEO is to coordinate the Agency-wide effort to strengthen public health and environmental protection in Indian country, with a special emphasis on building tribal capacity to administer their own environmental programs. To this end, the office offers the Indian Environmental General Assistance Program (GAP), which provides grant assistance for planning, developing and establishing environmental management programs. Construction projects are NOT eligible. Examples of fundable activities under this program include: planning, hiring staff, monitoring, and assessing environmental resources and pollution threats. AIEO oversees development and implementation of the Agency's Indian Policy and strives to ensure that all EPA Headquarters and Regional Offices implement their parts of the Agency's Indian Program consistently with Administration policy. Each EPA Region with federally recognized tribes has a Regional Indian Coordinator. The Regional Indian Program Coordinator also administers the GAP for each Region. Contact information for each EPA Regional Indian Program Coordinator is provided in Section 2 of this document.

Drinking Water Indian Set-Aside Grant Program
This is a new EPA grant program to build or repair drinking water infrastructure. It is funded with a 1.5 percent set-aside from the annual appropriation for the drinking water state revolving fund (DWSRF), which was launched with passage of the Safe Drinking Water Act (SDWA) Amendments of 1966. A significant difference between this program and the wastewater ISA program is that the Drinking Water (DW) Indian Set-Aside (ISA) Grant Program will not require projects to be on the Indian Health Service (IHS) Sanitation Deficiency System priority list. It will be up to EPA Regional offices to identify and rank priority projects as long as they meet the SDWA requirements of public health protection and regulatory compliance. The Regional EPA offices may elect to use the IHS ranking system in full, in part, or not at all. Eligible systems must serve tribes or Alaskan Native Villages, though they can be owned by someone other than the tribe. Private systems are also eligible. DW ISA contacts for each EPA Region are provided in Section 2 of this document.

UNITED STATES DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE
Economic Development Administration (EDA)
The Economic Development Administration (EDA) was established under the Public Works and Economic Development Act of 1965, as amended (PWEDA) (P.L. 89-136; 42 U.S.C. 3121 et seq.), and it was recently (October, 1998) reauthorized and its programs reformed under the Economic Development Administration and Appalachian Regional Development Reform Act of 1998 (S 2364; 105th Congress, 2nd Session). EDA provides grants for projects located in economically distressed areas, both rural and urban, of the Nation through its Public Works and Development Facilities, Planning, Technical Assistance, and Economic Adjustment Assistance Program. Indian tribes are eligible for EDA grant assistance. Direct grants may be awarded for up to 50 percent of the total estimated costs of the project and, in the case of Indian tribes, EDA is authorized to provide supplementary grant assistance up to an additional 50 percent depending on the nature of the project, the severity of distress and the relative needs of the area.
EDA's funds are tied to economic development and private-sector job creation and/or retention and can include grants for water and wastewater facilities, technology projects, sustainable development activities, export programs, brownfields redevelopment and other technical assistance and infrastructure projects. The program is primarily intended to benefit low and moderate income populations, unemployed and underemployed residents and to help stop outmigration as well as to assist areas facing sudden economic dislocations due to industrial restructuring and relocation, defense base closures, procurement cutbacks and natural disasters.
EDA announces its funding availability and application procedures annually in the Federal Register and project selection criteria are promulgated at 13 CFR Chapter III, Parts 300 through 318.
Tribes seeking assistance from EDA should contact the appropriate regional office identified in Section 2 of this document.

UNITED STATES DEPARTMENT OF HOUSING AND URBAN DEVELOPMENT
Indian Community Development Block Grant Program (ICDBG)
The Indian Community Development Block Grant (ICDBG) Program provides grants to federally recognized Indian tribes and Alaska Native Villages to improve housing, public services, economic development, and community facilities. This assistance can include grants for water and sewer infrastructure projects. The program is primarily intended to benefit low- and moderate-income populations. This program is administered by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development's (HUD) six area Offices of Native American Programs (ONAP). Program requirements and rating factors are published annually--usually in the spring--and are available in the Federal Register or from the ONAP offices. Funding is competitive within the jurisdictions of the ONAP offices. Approximately 20 to 30 percent of applications submitted and funded are infrastructure projects, most of which address water or wastewater problems. A separate program within the ICDBG program is the HUD--Imminent Threat Set-Aside. These grants are provided for emergency situations--namely, non-recurring imminent threats to health or safety--on a non-competitive, first-come, first-served basis. Eligible activities are the same as for the ICDBG program. Contact information for the Office of Native American Programs and the Indian Community Development Block Grant programs in each EPA Region is provided in Section 2 of this document.

Bureau of Reclamation
Indian tribes seeking needs assessments for wastewater treatment services may seek help from the U. S. Department of the Interior's Bureau of Reclamation, which can provide assistance to Native American communities located in the 17 western states. The Bureau established a Native American Affairs Office in 1989. It is supported by five Regional Native American Program Managers. Through contact with these Regional Managers, the Bureau's Technical Service Center's Water Treatment Engineering Team in Denver, Colorado, can provide technical assistance to tribes for wastewater needs assessments. These services often result in a site visit followed by a needs assessment report that describes the existing wastewater systems ability to meet the needs of tribal community and the environment. The needs assessment also provides conceptual alternatives for the required remedies, and an appraisal level cost analysis for the proposed solutions considering existing and future discharges. Some of this may augment technical assistance work done by the Indian Health Service.
The Bureau of Reclamation can also offer planning, design, construction management and operation and maintenance assistance on a cost reimbursable basis or as required by congressional mandates. Contact information for Bureau of Reclamation offices in each EPA Region is provided in Section 2 of this document.
