Environmental Programs
IGAP — General Assistance Program
The Environmental Protection Agency - Tribal Environmental Plan (ETEP) was prepared for the Native Village of Unalakleet Tribal Council and the EPA in response to the 2013 General Assistance Program (GAP) Guidance. The ETEP is intended to be a living document for both the NVU and the EPA for use in planning and guiding work.
The ETEP is designed to:
- Link GAP funded work to long-term goals for capacity building
- Document the implementation of federal environmental statutory programs
- Define and prioritize NVU's tribal environmental programs
NVU reviews the ETEP annually with EPA and updates it at least every five years.
