This presentation will look at the results of the report: Superfund on Tribal Lands: Issues, Challenges and Solutions. The study was done in late 2010, by the Conflict Prevention and Resolution Center, on seven Superfund sites in which at least one tribe had substantial involvement and a mediation/facilitation process was carried out. We will go over the results looking at what issues were most important to the tribes, EPA staff and mediators/facilitators interviewed, where tension commonly arose and how mediation was used. In addition, we will discuss recommendations from the field for EPA's Superfund program and good practices to consider when using a mediator/facilitator.
