Lead Program
About The Program
The USET Office of Environmental Resource Management (OERM) is introducing our Lead Testing program, which is funded by the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). The OERM Lead Testing program has adopted the EPA 3Ts program for Reducing Lead in Drinking Water in Schools and Child Care Facilities. This program was developed to help schools and child-care facilities to implement a voluntary program for reducing lead in drinking water. The lead testing program is 100% voluntary and all data is stored on a secure USET server that is only accessible by the respective Member Tribal Nation.
Getting Started
For USET Member Tribal Nations who are interested in participating in our Lead Testing program, please complete the Lead Testing program application.
What To Expect
If any facilities within USET Tribal Nation communities qualify for drinking water sampling, OERM is offering assistance to conduct testing at Tribal schools and child-care facilities. USET will also offer trainings and webinars to expand outreach and public education.
