Title: Baseline Water Quality Standards for Indian Reservations Without EPA-Approved WQS 
Abstract:

EPA is developing an advanced notice of proposed rulemaking (ANPRM) regarding the establishment of 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 ANPRM will serve to provide more detail on EPA’s current thinking and serve as a vehicle to receive specific and clear guidance from the full range of tribal governments and stakeholders. This ANPRM effort is one of several initiatives the EPA is undertaking that recognize the importance of protecting waters that tribes rely on.
