Property Highlights

This cleanup is one of 30 at the Former Fort Belknap Agency Airstrip located SW of Fort Belknap Agency (Hub) in Montana. In 2013, Fort Belknap Indian Community (FBIC) acquired 30 homes from the Malmstrom Air Force Base in Great Falls, MT. Since acquiring the homes, FBIC stored the homes on an existing runway. Each three-or four-bedroom home were approximately 1,400 square feet (sf). Given the age of the homes, the presence of hazardous building materials was a concern and in September 2020 a building materials inspection (BMI) was completed for potential asbestos, lead based paint, methamphetamine, polychlorinated biphenyls, mercury and florescent light tubes. At the time of the BMI six of the homes were destroyed by fire; however over the past five years of storing the homes on the runway, 27 homes burned, 3 homes are intact and ash and debris remain on the runway. FBIC was awarded 128(a) BIL funding to complete abatement and remediation at the Runway Homes site. The cleanup began on August 5, 2024 and was completed on August 21, 2024; during this time Fort Belknap Indian Community contracted Granite Peak to complete the cleanup, the abatement of asbestos-containing building materials (ACBM) and regulated asbestos-containing materials (RACM) and demolish the 30 structures along the Fort Belknap Airstrip "Runway Homes" site. Prior to the purchase of the homes in 2013, the site was a popular recreation site for people looking to enjoy a walk or bike ride away from the mosquitos. All structures have been removed and the site may be used for its intended purpose as an airstrip/runway for medical emergencies and business. Climate adaptation measures for this cleanup included removal of dead trees and large brush piles from the runway. As part of the cleanup, the trees and brush were to used as a composting material, rather than being burned. The removal of the brush piles also eliminated the risk of potential fire that could have threatened area prairie land as well as nearby commercial buildings during current conditions of severe draught.
