Problem:
Pollution of the air, water and land in Indian country and in other tribal areas poses significant threats to the health and environment of members of the 563 federally-recognized Indian tribes. Pollution seriously damages ecosystems and tribal members face increased risk from pollution because of subsistence hunting, fishing, religious, cultural purposes. In FY 2005-2007, OECA worked with federally recognized Indian tribes to address significant human health and environmental problems associated with drinking water, solid waste, and environmental risks in tribal schools through capacity building and compliance monitoring.
