The Priority Document is developed each year by the Tribal Waste & Response Steering Committee (TWAR SC). All members of the TWAR SC take advantage of
regional meetings, the TLEF, training courses, and other gatherings, so they can spend time interacting with their colleagues at other Tribes, listening to
their stories about challenges, successes, and concerns. What they hear from you, and what they see in their own day-to-day work, are critical perspectives
that they take to Washington DC each year, where they meet with staff from a variety of OLEM offices.
We want to know, based on the work you do, how you would rate the following priorities we included in this year's Priority Document. We also
want to know what priorities you want us to consider for next year's Priority Document. The first group of priorities are cross-programmatic
ones. Following those are priorities specific to the environmental fields covered by the US EPA Office of Land and Emergency Management.
The creation of this Priority Document, as well as other documents developed throughout the year, are just some of the tools the TWRAP SC use to ensure two-way
communication, and to foster collaboration, between Tribal programs and the USEPA.
If you have any questions about the Priority Document please contact a member of the TWAR SC or
ITEP staff.
Below you will find the current, as well as past versions of, the Priority Document.
