Coordinated Tribal Water Quality 

 Program Accomplishments: FY 91 



Following is a list of tribal accomplishments during Fiscal 

 Year 1991 of the Coordinated Tribal Water Quality 

 Program. 



The Coordinated Tribal Water Quality Program is de- 

 signed to allow the tribes to address water quality issues 

 affecting their reservation lands and treaty protected 

 resources. The program is designed to create individual, 

 tribally-directed programs as part of a statewide coordi- 

 nated program. 



In addition to the individual tribal program accomplish- 

 ments outlined below, the tribes worked as a whole at both 

 techrucal and policy levels in the development and early 

 implementation efforts of the program. 



Some of those accomplishments included: 



• Technical coordination on the compilation 

 of information regarding current water 

 quality issues and program needs. 



• Policy decisions on program content 

 cmd direction. 



• Integration of the Coordinated Tribal Water 

 Quality Program into the tribal strategy to 

 manage treaty protected resources. 



• Development of support statements from 

 individual tribal governments for the 

 Coordinated Tribal Water Quality Program. 



Colville Confederated Tribes: 



• Hired a Database Manager (tribal member). 



Sauk River near the Sauk-Suiattle Tribe Reservation, 



Updated Water Resource Database into an Arc/Info System. Once on- 

 line it will be immediately available to approximately 100 resource 

 managers. This information management system is designed to be 

 shared with land managers, decisionmakers, landowners, and used in 

 technical processes such as nonpoint source assessments and water 

 quality morutoring. The system was designed to be a transferrable 

 demonstration type project.
