Overview

The Region 5 Indian Environmental Office (IEO) was established in March 2000 to provide a "one-stop shop" for tribal-related issues. The IEO was formed in response to expanding tribal environmental needs and to fulfill the overall commitments to Indian tribes found in the EPA Indian Policy. The office serves as a centralized point of contact for tribal governments, inter-tribal organizations, other federal agencies, and EPA staff on tribal policies and activities. The office serves as the first point of contact for Indian tribes in Region 5 seeking Federal environmental programs, financial and technical assistance which relates to the development and delegation of tribal environmental programs.
