They communicate the concerns and perspectives of Tribes to US EPA staff and leadership through conversations and by producing their highly respected Priorities Document). Members of the TWAR SC network with other Tribal Partnership Groups on issues of mutual interest (such as PFAS, data issues, emerging technology, etc.), and engage with – and even mentor – other Tribal professionals working in these critical environmental media. They also work closely with ITEP staff to help create and deliver the annual Tribal Lands and Environment Forum, and provide guidance on courses and other educational resources.

The Tribal Waste and Response Steering Committee (TWAR SC) is a Federal U.S. EPA Tribal Partnership Group comprised of subject matter experts from federally recognized Tribes and Alaskan Native Villages from various EPA regions. The views expressed by the TWAR SC are those of the SC members and not of individual Tribes and/or Alaskan Native Villages. Furthermore, interaction with the TWAR SC is not a substitute for, or constitutes government-to-government consultation, which can only be achieved through direct, early and meaningful consultation between the Federal government and individual Indian Tribes and Alaskan Native Villages.
