Tribes and Native Alaskan Villages face significant human health, water quality and environmental problems because of the lack of adequate wastewater treatment. These problems--and the corresponding lack of existing environmental structure--exist because of many factors, including local economic conditions, disperse populations, political and cultural barriers, and the lack of significant environmental investment by federal and state agencies. The Indian Set-Aside program seeks to help alleviate these problems and to focus attention on the needs of Native populations. Millions of dollars in grants funds have been made available for wastewater projects on Indian lands and in Alaska Native Villages. EPA will continue to work with Tribes, Alaska Native Villages and other federal agencies to achieve adequate wastewater systems. The Indian Set-Aside (ISA) Program is administered by EPA through a cooperative effort with the Indian Health Service (IHS). Applicants can obtain a copy of the guidance document entitled "Guidelines and Requirements for Applying for Grants from the Indian Set-Aside Program" dated, April 1988, to determine how to apply for these grants. An Addendum to the guidance document was issued in March 1995. The guidance document can be obtained by contacting EPA's Regional Indian Set-Aside Coordinator for the area in which you are located: Regional Office Indian Set-Aside Coordinators Region 1 Region 6 Debbie Kerr Gene Wossum Environmental Protection Agency Environmental Protection Agency Water Management Division Water Management Division JFK Federal Building Fountain Place 12th Floor One Congress Street Suite 1200 Boston, MA 02203-0001 1445 Ross Avenue (617) 565-4886 Dallas, TX 75202-2733 (CT,ME,MA,NH,RI,VT) (214) 665-7173 (AR,LA,NM,OK,TX) Region 2 Region 7 Muhammad Hatim Gerald Gutekunst Environmental Protection Agency Environmental Protection Water Management Division Water Management Division 290 Broadway 726 Minnesota Avenue New York, New York 10007-1866 Kansas City, KS 66101 (212) 637-3855 (913) 551-7484 (NJ,NY,PR,VI) (IA,KS,MO,NB) Region 4 Region 8 Fred Hunter Terry Griffith Environmental Protection Agency Environmental Protection Agency Water Management Division Water Management Division 61 Forsyth Street 999 18th Street, Suite 500 Atlanta, GA 30303-3104 Denver, CO 80203-2466 (404) 562-9477 (303) 312-6153 (AL,FL,GA,KY,MS,NC,SC,TN) (CO,MT,ND,SD,UT,WY) Region 5 Region 9 Charles Pycha Loretta Vanegas Environmental Protection Agency Environmental Protection Agency 77 West Jackson Boulevard Water Management Division Chicago, IL 60604-3507 75 Hawthorne Street (312) 886-0259 San Francisco, CA (IL,IN,MI,MN,OH,WI) (415) 744-1946 (AZ,CA,HI,NV,TT) Region 10 Judy Fey Environmental Protection Agency Water Management Division 1200 Sixth Avenue Seattle, WA 98101 (206) 553-1302 (AK, ID, OR, WA) Reprinted under the Fair Use http://www4.law.cornell.edu/uscode/17/107.html doctrine of international copyright law. &&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&& Tsonkwadiyonrat (We are ONE Spirit) Unenh onhwa' Awayaton http://www.tdi.net/ishgooda/ UPDATES: CAMP JUSTICE http://shell.webbernet.net/~ishgooda/oglala/ &&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&
