Environmental Protection Agency - Network Exchange Grants
In 2003, the Coeur d'Alene Tribe GIS Program received an Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Network Challenge Grant. This grant was a multi year grant to assist the Tribe with bringing together data and information for both the agricultural burning project and the Pesticide Circuit Rider program. This grant allowed the Tribal GIS Program to purchase hardware and software for its first external GIS web server. This equipment has then allowed the Tribe to share select geospatial information with EPA and other Tribal cooperators.

During the summer of 2007 the Coeur d'Alene Tribe was the recipient of an EPA Network Exchange Grant (#OS-83358601-0). The scope of the grant was to provide the EPA locational data associated with facilities listed in the Facility Registration System (FRS) database. Prioritization was given to facilities located within current reservation boundaries and then site recording expanded to encompasses facilities located within the Coeur d'Alene aboriginal territory. A total of 912 sites were recorded within seven counties and two states. Seventy-one sites are located on the Coeur d'Alene reservation, and the remaining 841 facilities are found adjacent or outside of the reservation.
