Tribal Superfund Working Group (TSFWG) is a network of tribal professional, other experts, and government employees that are engaged in work with Superfund sites, Federal Facilities and other sites of special concern. These individuals work on protecting tribal lands, water, and community health and have become part of this group either by self-subscribing, because of their past work on Superfund issues, or because Superfund is their primary area of work or interest. To join the TSFWG listserv please email Todd Barnell (Todd.Barnell@nau.edu) or Julie Jurkowski (Julie.Jurkowski@nau.edu).
