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.
Evaluate Reuse options that consider impacts from extreme weather events and natural disastersDiscussion of observed and forecasted natural hazard conditions and the associated site-specific risk are part of any reuse considerations. Both current and forecasted extreme weather events and natural disasters may impact the effectiveness of a remedial alternative.

Climate Adaption and Mitigation - Demolition or Cleanup

Selected Strategy(ies)Explanatory Text
Selection and design of cleanup considered the site's vulnerabilities to extreme weather events and natural disastersVulnerability describes the degree to which natural, built, and human systems are at risk of exposure to impacts from extreme weather events and natural disasters.
Reduce waste and manage materials sustainablyPractices to reduce water and manage materials sustainably may include minimizing consumption of virgin materials; minimizing waste generation; use of recycled products and local materials; beneficially reusing waste materials (e.g. concrete made with coal combustion products replacing a portion of cement); and segregating and reusing or recycling materials, products, and infrastructure (e.g. soil, construction and demolition debris, buildings).

Additional Property Attributes

Wheelock Mission Church was constructed in 1844-1846, by Reverend Alfred Wright. It was originally built by Reverend Alfred Wright and the Presbyterian Church after the Choctaw Indian removal from Mississippi to Oklahoma. It was then donated to the Wheelock Cemetery Association from the Presbyterian Church sometime between 1968 to 1993. A single-story 2000 sq. ft. masonry building constructed in 1846 in a simplified Greek Revival . Sitting on 5 Acres surrounded by a wooded area to the East and West Side of the Church, a residential home and wooded area on the North side of the Church and an active Cemetery on the South side of the Church. There is presumably no Water or Sewer on property. However, there does seem to be electrical infrastructure and an HVAC present, neither of which appear to be operational. This site has a Historical Building that no longer has church services. The building is uninhabited and currently not in use. Reuse plans are to restore the property and continue good maintenance practices for Wheelock Academy tours. Visitor surveys have indicated there is a wish to have the Academy and Chapel preserved for future generations and reuse the church as a place for special occasions. The Phase I ESA indicated arsenic could be an issue on site, due to the age of the associated cemetery. However, this Church and the adjacent cemetery are also located on the Old Military Road, which is part of the Choctaw Trail of Tears and hold National significance therefore arsenic was not evaluated because of the chance of disturbance. It was also indicated in the Phase I ESA that lead-based paint and asbestos could be present due to the age of the building during remodels and the date it was constructed. The Phase II showed no asbestos-containing material present but did indicate lead was present on the eves, doors, door frames, and some interior components. Part of the Phase II ESA was a structural analysis which looked at impacts of a culturally significant tree associated with the building. No tree root impacts were noted, however, there was a possibility of damage by falling branches and associated termites. These are currently being evaluated by Choctaw Nation.
