The NORTHWESTERN BAND OF SHOSHONE
NATION’s newly established Tribal Environmental Protection
Office (TEPO) was developed to accomplish the statutory and regulatory
purposes for the General Assistance Program. The GAP will assist
the Tribe in planning, developing and establishing the capability
to implement environmental protection programs administered by
the Environmental Protection Agency. In addition, the Tribe plans
to collaborate with the other tribes of Utah (and Region 8 Tribes)
as well as the State of Utah, Department of Environmental Quality
in developing its Comprehensive Environmental Protection program.
The Tribe plans to develop and adopt a Comprehensive Environmental
Protection Policy/Plan prior to any future development on the
current and any future land acquisitions. The need to protect
its entire environment for present and future generations is of
the highest importance for the Tribe, including, the economic
and community development plans of the Tribe.
