The Tribal Environmental Protection Agency (TEPA) has been developed by the Hoopa Valley Tribe to provide the administrative capacity necessary to further develop, monitor, and enforce the Tribe’s environmental protection program. TEPA began functioning in this capacity commencing January 1, 1981. Currently, the Hoopa Valley Tribe is considered as one of the most progressive Tribes in environmental management and stewardship activities. The Tribe currently manages the following EPA activities:

• Performance Partnership Grant/TEA
• Clean Water Act Section 106
• Clean Water Act Section 104
• Clean Water Act Section 104(b)(3)
• Clean Water Act Section 319
• General Assistance Program (GAP)

Hoopa Tribal EPA offers a multitude of services to the Hoopa Valley Tribe in environmental protection, public outreach and education, air quality monitoring, water quality planning, solid waste management, hazardous waste protection, and environmental compliance. The TEPA portion of this website is designed to inform the public and members of the Hoopa Valley Tribe of the environmental stewardship activities of the Hoopa Valley Tribal EPA department. Nestled in the temperate rain forest of the Pacific Northwest in northern California, the Hoopa Valley Indian Reservation is the largest Indian Reservation in California. Although largely pristine, the Reservation is confronted with a number of environmental problems that are being addressed through a combination of "sound science" and deep-rooted cultural experiences.
