Protecting the Reservation Waters is a primary goal of the Tribe. Water pollution endangers the health and welfare of Tribal members and residents of the Reservation. This Code establishes procedures and standards for the review of applications for Tribal Water Quality Certifications under CWA Section 401(a)(1), Tribal Water Quality Reviews under CWA Section 401(a)(2), and Tribal Water Quality Reviews of proposed federal and state permits that may affect the waters of the Bad River Reservation. This Code also establishes procedures for the Tribe's review of federal and state general permits for their consistency with the Tribe's Water Quality Standards.
