Tribal Technical Exchange: Nonpoint Source and Monitoring

Invitation Only. Contact: king.whitney@epa.gov for registration. 

Sharing how Indigenous approaches and western science intersect to understand and improve Tribal water quality. Small group facilitated discussions. 

This Session is open to Tribes that currently receive 106 or 319 grants or are interested in becoming eligible to receive those funds.

This is a technical information sharing session with small group discussions and networking where participants will have the opportunity to discuss with their peers’ questions such as:  

  • How do you choose monitoring sites and does nonpoint source pollution loadings (observed or monitored) factor into those choices?
  • How often do you communicate your monitoring findings to the Tribal community, and do you get input on what the implications are for Tribal use and culture?
  • How do you track in-kind efforts to document match requirements?
