Project Description

The goal of the TMEPP is to protect and preserve the tribe’s natural resources. Water resources are of major concern to our community members and therefore have a high priority for the staff of the TM-EPA. The other area of concern is the growing number of open dumping on the reservation and we have also placed emphasis on an ongoing cleanup project.
