ITEC Subtitle D Program

Proper solid waste management on or near Tribal lands is a continuing concern for Tribal environmental departments. To assist Tribes in developing sound solid waste management practices, ITEC developed the Subtitle D program in fiscal year 1997.

The ITEC Subtitle D program has provided the following assistance to ITEC member Tribes during its inception:

• Development of a Tribal illegal dump database and corresponding maps using

• Global Positioning Systems and Geographical Information Systems instruments and software

• An ITEC-sponsored workshop addressing Tribal solid waste enforcement issues A feasibility study on Tribal disposal methods

• Technical assistance including illegal dump assessments for use in grant proposals (i.e. Open Dump Cleanup Grant Proposals)

• Distribution of a model Tribal integrated solid waste management plan and model solid waste codes and ordinances

• Information on environmental initiatives such as Earth Day and America Recycles Day to ITEC member Tribes.

• Coordination with state and federal entities to promote proper solid waste management practices

ITEC will continue to assist Tribes in addressing solid waste issues.
