Here are some of the accomplishments of the Tribal EPA Department to date:

  • QVIR Environmental Inventory
  • Tribal Environmental Plan
  • Annual Reservation Cleanup
  • Ongoing Water Assessment
  • Thermal Refugia Project- Over the past summer we monitored the water quality in high density juvenile salmon rearing areas.
  • Environmental Justice- Projects focus on environmental justice issues facing the Quartz Valley Indian Community.
  • Ongoing Salmon Surveys- We work collaboratively with local agencies on salmon monitoring studies year round.
  • Quality Assurance Program - Program plan for water sampling.
  • Environmental Education -

Native Gardening Project - The EPA Outreach Coordinator along with the QVIR community children put together a garden containing a native seed collection. The children have participated in each step of the garden preparation. They planted seeds and plants, watered and weeded, hung a birdhouse, butterfly feeder, and a spider frame. They also made humming bird feeders and raised butterflies.  Harvest time has begun and we are learning to make healthy snacks with items from our garden. From our latest harvest we will be making sunflower seeds.

Salmon Festival - Hosted our  6th annual Salmon Festival at the Fort Jones Elementary School.  The children enjoyed stations such as fish printing, macro invertebrate study, spawning surveys, storytelling, a puppet show, making lifecycle books, an obstacle game, hatchery information,  a culture booth, and the best thing of all the traditionally cooked salmon. 

Note: All documents are available upon request and can be found at the Quartz Valley Administrative Office.
