1 Kevin Brackney, M.S., P.G. Nez Perce Tribe

2  NPT Environmental Response  Historic Spills Clearwater Basin ◦ Impacts from both large and small spills  Change in fish consumption standards and Water Quality needed for higher Consumption  Protection of in-stream spawning and rearing habitat  Proposed cleanup technologies

3  Support training for Groundwater Program Priorities ◦ Pollution Prevention for UST and Hazardous Waste ◦ Brownfields: Soil and Groundwater Assessment and Cleanup  Hazmat Environmental Response – no medical capability  3 Funding sources: ◦ Tribe ◦ HMEP Training Grant ◦ Brownfield Tribal Response Grant capacity development

10  Large river large volume spills  Small creek, small volume spills  Spills contaminating groundwater The Dose Makes the Poison

11  Drinking Water Intakes  Fish Hatcheries and Seasonal Acclimation Sites  Mature free swimming fish  Juvenal Fish  Spawning beds with eggs (Redds)  Pacific lamprey rearing habitat

13  Natural Resource Damage Assessment  Collect Fish Tissue – Analyze for Petroleum  Collected 100s of samples  Analyzed 7 steelhead filets and whole carcass  Concentrations were similar upstream to downstream of spill  NRDA abandoned
