(c) Advise any prospective discharger in writing, as needed, of requirements for obtaining a permit to discharge, including any additional permit requirements that the Tribe may enact;

(j) Encourage, in conjunction with other Tribal entities and outside agencies, the development and implementation of best management practices to control nonpoint sources of pollutants to achieve compliance with Chapter 21.20 YTC, Water Pollution Control. [Res. 04-46 § 4.1, adopted, 8/25/2004.]
