Man, does EPA have resources! If you are looking for ideas to include in your GAP work plan for FY26 or beyond, take a gander at the following:
- EPA’s GAP Technical Assistance Handbook: The handbook provides a roadmap of activities that may be useful to Tribes and intertribal consortia in developing environmental programs. Topics include:
- Building core environmental programs
- Ambient and Indoor Air Quality programs
- Water Quality Programs
- Drinking water
- Solid waste, hazardous waste, and underground storage tanks
- Contaminated side remediation and emergency response
- Chemical safety and pollution prevention
- GAP Capacity Indicators: GAP capacity indicators are milestones along a Tribe’s environmental program development path. If you updated your ETEP recently, do doubt you’ve seen them. The indicators don’t provide a comprehensive plan, but they are good food for thought for activities on the following topics:
- Cross-Cutting Activities
- Clean Air Act
- Clean Water Act
- Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act
- Emergency Planning and Community Right-to-Know Act
- Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act
- Optional Work Plan Templates for GAP Topics: See the Alaska Native Tribal Health Consortium’s Capacity and Training page for work plan templates that provide ideas on activities your GAP program might undertake. If you like them, tailor them to your program as you see fit. Click on the IGAP tab and scroll down to Work Plans.
- Emergency Preparedness
- Air
- Climate Change
- Shoreline Erosion
- Environmental Education
- Solid Waste

- Work Plans, Budgets, and Forms: If you’d just like to find the optional GAP work plan and budget templates and a link to the (non-optional) forms, head to the Administrative Resources section on our Region 10 GAP webpage.
