UPCOMING TRAINING:

Understanding the New Mexico Solid Waste Permitting Process Training For Tribal Communities

Tuesday, November 24, 2009
9:00 am - 4:00 pm
Isleta Casino & Resort, Isleta Pueblo

RIO GRANDE ROOM
FINAL Agenda

This is a free training for tribal governments on understanding the New Mexico permitting process as it relates solid waste.  The purpose of the training is to introduce tribal leaders, tribal environmental directors, and interested tribal members to the complex state permitting and public participation processes.  The goal is to increase involvement of tribal communities in these processes, as well as to promote environmental justice, public health, and cultural resources protection for tribal communities. 

This training will focus on solid waste permitting and enforcement.  Subsequent trainings will focus on air quality and a final executive session will be geared specifically to tribal leadership to be held during the AILC’s TRANSITIONS conference in early 2010. 

Tribal environmental and natural resources staff are encouraged to attend these trainings as they will provide useful information on the permitting process, practical application to tribal environmental issues, and environmental justice for tribal communities.

The New Mexico Environment Department is partnering with the AILC for these important trainings.
