Region 8
Direct Implementation
National Information
Regional Information
EPA Region 8 has a large workload devoted to directly implementing environmental programs on tribal lands, in states that have not accepted responsibility for certain programs, and for programs that legislation does not allow us to delegate. Region is home to 27 tribal nations with a land area of 15 million acres. In almost all cases, Region 8 is charged with the full range of environmental programs on these lands.
This challenge will continue to demand attention and resources, especially as increased activities in sectors such as energy and agriculture add workloads to programs. In addition to our own program implementation responsibilities, Region 8 will continue to help partners develop and maintain effective environmental programs.
