Water Division
The Water Division is dedicated to the monitoring and protection of water quality and water resources of the Yurok Tribe, including the Klamath River, its tributaries and wetland areas.
In August 2004 the Yurok Tribal Council passed the Water Quality Control Plan for the Yurok Reservation. This document set water quality standards for the Klamath River and its tirbutaries. This document also established a process for government agencies to apply for a Tribal water quality permit to complete projects that have the potential to impact water quality to surface waters with the Yurok Reservation.
YTEP has established a fee system to permit these projects and has set the precedence of permitting projects on the Yurok Reservation. This allows the Yurok Tribe to exert its jurisdiction in regulating impacts to water quaity and protecting its water resources. Follow the permit application links at the bottom of the page for more information on the Yurok Tribal WQ permit process.
YTEP is an active member of the Klamath Basin Tribal Water Quality Workgroup.
The Work Group is comprised of the heads of environmental departments of the Yurok, Hoopa Valley, and Karuk Tribes, the Quartz Valley Indian Community, and the Resighini Rancheria.
