Red Lake DNR: Updated Brownfields Sites

The Brownfields program was developed in 1995 within the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to assist tribal governments in identifying, cleaning up and reusing contaminated property in Indian country.

The Brownfields Section 128(a) plans for Red Lake Nation include:

- Develop mechanisms and resources for oversight and enforcement of environmental issues.

-Complete timely survey and inventory of Brownfields sites within Red Lake Reservation Boundaries.

-Offer environmental training to tribal members that are interested in becoming certified workers that will make them competitive in the potential job market.

- Develop an outreach program that will help educate the community in environmental and Brownfields issues as well as provide meaningful opportunities for public participation.
