Climate Adaption and Mitigation - Planning or Assessment

Selected Strategy(ies)Explanatory Text
Phase I and Phase II ESAs that consider impacts from extreme weather events and natural disastersPhase I ESAs may consider current and on-going impacts from extreme weather events and natural disasters and consider future impacts to the site or area. For example, an investigation of the site history can include an investigation of site vulnerabilities based on historical and recent extreme weather patterns and events (e.g., floods and drought). Phase II ESAs may include use of renewable energy, incorporating remote sensing capabilities, maximize reuse of existing wells (as appropriate) and/or design wells for future reuse, use of field test kits when possible, use of local laboratories when possible, and use of appropriate sized equipment for the project.

Additional Property Attributes

The bulk of the subject property is wooded land; however, approximately two acres near the SE corner of the property is leased by the McCurtain County Green Box project. The facility operates roll-off dumpsters and standard dumpsters for nearby residence to dispose of household wastes, woods, and metals. This facility has operated at the subject property since approximately 2002. This facility represents a REC based on the longevity of operations, nature of operations, and the potential for spills and release from potentially hazardous materials disposed at the facility. Additionally, a telecommunications building is located on the NE corner of the subject property within a fenced area. Equipment was not visible within the compound. This building did not constitute a REC at the time of the site reconnaissance. Selected federal and state environmental regulatory databases, as well as responses from state and local regulatory agencies were reviewed. RECs were identified in connection with the open LUST case for the former Bean's Corner, a filling station. Since the LUST case is currently open, FSES recommends reviewing the case file at a later date to evaluate the final closure of the LUST case. While it does not appear the LUST case has impacted the subject property at this time, unforeseen changes within the case could occur and the findings could alter the no REC finding. FSES reviewed files for the Huber Engineered Woods from the Oklahoma Department of Environmental Quality and through various EPA websites. The bulk of the reviewed information for the facility surround air emissions for the facility. Based on a review of the information obtained, the cross to down-gradient location and the distance to facility operations (~700 feet), the Huber Engineered Woods facility does not represent a REC to the subject property. Based on a review of historical information, the subject property was historically undeveloped land from approximately 1902 until approximately 1938 when the subject property was agriculturally developed. By approximately 1949, the subject property was improved with a residential structure near the southeast corner of the subject property. The residential nature of the subject property was note to fluctuate from the 1940 to the 1990s with residential developments being located on the north boundary and the southeast corner of the subject property as well as the number and of the residences. After the 1990s, residential structures were no longer apparent onsite. A drainage ditch was apparent onsite from approximately 1978 to the 1990s. A pond was located near the east boundary from approximately 1980 to 2002. It should be noted that during the interview with the McCurtain County Green Box attendant, the leased area is not connected to city water or the sanitary sewer system. Based on this information, it is likely the former onsite residences utilized septic systems. Based on the historical use of the subject property and the residential use of the potential septic systems, the potential septic systems do not represent a REC to the subject property. Due to the nature of adjoining and subject property findings, it is recommended at this time to perform a subsurface investigation to evaluate the subsurface conditions at the leased area and near the NE corner of the subject property. It is also recommended to review the open case files of Bean's Corner to evaluate the LUST case and evaluate any unforeseen changes within the LUST case for potential impacts to the subject property.

The CNO Brownfields program completed a Phase II ESA on the property in 2024. The CNO Brownfields program posted a "no dumping" sign on the property using 128(a) Tribal Response Program funding.
