Treatment-As-a-State (TAS) for Water Quality Programs: Process and Perspectives

Treatment-As-a-State provides Tribes with the authority to manage and protect surface waters. Several federal environmental laws, including the Clean Water Act, authorize EPA to treat tribes in a similar manner as a state government for implementing and managing some federal programs.
