EPA has promulgated federal WQS for 1 tribe (Colville Reservation) listed in the chart but not included in the above total for approved WQS. Currently, 84 tribes have been found eligible to administer a WQS program, and EPA has approved WQS for 47 of these tribes. A tribe may administer a WQS program if it applies and EPA finds that it qualifies under Section 518(e) of the Clean Water Act to be treated in a manner similar to a state (“TAS”). The following chart lists EPA approvals for tribes to administer a water quality standards (WQS) program, and EPA’s approvals of those tribes’ WQS.
