Water Quality Program

The MCN OES intends to protect, conserve, and improve water resources throughout the MCN through the reduction, prevention, and/or mitigation of factors that may contribute to the reduction of water quality.

Air Quality Program

MCN OES Air Quality Program aims to achieve our mission through a number of strategic goals: reduce and eliminate health problems caused by air pollution, achieve and maintain air quality standards for all criteria pollutants, and create high-quality, relevant regulatory programs and ensure they comply with federal, state, and local laws.

Climate Change

MCN recognizes the changes in significant weather events. We strive to reduce our carbon footprint and the footprint of our community. To build a foundation of our efforts we have weather stations with real time monitoring to collect data to study the climate change in our community.

Pesticides & Integrated Pest Management

The MCN OES intends to protect, conserve, and improve the environment and the quality of life of its citizens. The mission of the Integrated Pest Management (IPM) & Pesticides Program is to educate employees and citizens about the dangers of using pesticides and other toxic products. We are also working to build partnerships with some local schools to provide information on the tools available to schools interested in establishing new or improving existing IPM programs.

Pollinator & Garden Projects

The MCN OES protects, conserves, and improves our land to promote the health of pollinators; which are critical to food and ecosystems; through conservation, education, and research. We partner with other organizations to support food sustainability in rural communities.

Solid Waste

The MCN Solid Waste Program provides dumpsters to rural communities within the Reservation to reduce open dumping in the Reservation. Open Dumps can introduce pollutants to ground water and the soil endangering human health and the environment. The Solid Waste Program also preforms open dump clean ups to remove these hazards and mitigate the danger to our communities.

Environmental Review

The MCN OES can assist with environmental reviews for current or future projects to help to determine whether the impacts are in compliance with the National Environmental Protection Act (NEPA) and all relative laws, regualtions, and authorities.
