The Indian Environmental General Assistance Program provides financial assistance to Indian tribal governments and intertribal consortia to develop and administer environmental regulatory and multimedia programs on Indian lands. The primary purpose of these grants is to support the development of elements of a core environmental program, such as providing for tribal capacity building to ensure an environmental presence for identifying programs and projects; fostering compliance with federal environmental statutes by developing appropriate tribal environmental programs, ordinances, and services; and establishing a communications capability to work with federal, state, local, and other tribal environmental officials. |
