Title: ●Baseline Water Quality Standards for Indian Reservations Without EPA-Approved WQS | |
Abstract: EPA is developing a proposed rule to establish baseline water quality standards (WQS) under the Clean Water Act (CWA) for waters on Indian reservations that currently do not have EPA-approved WQS in place to protect water quality. The rule would address the existing gaps in CWA protection of reservation waters where there are no existing EPA-approved WQS. These standards would establish baseline human health and environmental goals as the basis for the CWA protection. This potential rulemaking effort is one of several initiatives the EPA is undertaking that recognize the importance of protecting tribal waters that tribes rely on. | |
