The dates for the Development and Implementation of Tribal Solid Waste Codes and Ordinances Training have shifted to later in the year and a few seats are available.

EPA, the Institute for Tribal Environmental Professionals (ITEP), and the Indian Health Service (HIS) are offering the course to federally recognized Tribes that have completed an Integrated Solid Waste Management Plan but lack operable solid waste codes/ordinances. The goal of the course is for participants to write a new or update an outdated solid waste code. The training has been developed for Tribal environmental professionals without legal experience, yet all levels of experience are welcome. EPA strongly encourages multiple staff from one Tribe to apply as this increases the chances of passing a code.

This training course will assist Tribes in completing GAP Indicators RCRA 01.04 and RCRA 01.05.  There is no course fee and GAP will cover the travel costs to attend.

The first two sessions will be virtual. Participants are expected to attend all three portions of the course:

  • Online Training Week: September 8-11
  • Online Half-Day Training: October 1
  • In-Person Workshop: November 18-20 in Phoenix, AZ
