Knowing Our Waters: Tribal Reporting under Section 305(b)

Document
Description
Native American Tribes and Tribal groups have the option of reporting on the quality of their waters under Section 305(b) of the Clean Water Act. The goals of Tribal 305(b) reporting are to document the status of water quality and to identify any improvements needed to achieve healthy ecosystems that can meet Tribal needs, including unique cultural or ceremonial needs. This brochure describes the process of 305(b) reporting and the advantages to Tribes that choose to participate. EPA includes information from these Tribal reports in its biennial National Water Quality Inventory Report to Congress, along with information from the 55 States, Territories, and interstate commissions that submitted 305(b) reports.
