Additional Property Attributes

The Mainstream building was determined to be unsecured, abandoned, structurally unsound and unsafe. According to the Blackfeet Tribe�s field inspections, a large number of homeless individuals lived in this and other abandoned buildings due to the closure of the Blackfeet Reservation�s Medicine Bear Homeless Shelter. In addition to the homeless, children play in the abandoned buildings, tearing out insulation and further releasing debris into the environment. The Tribe completed Phase I and Phase II environmental assessments on this property. In addition, the Tribe hired a consultant to perform a pre-demolition asbestos surveys of the property. In August 2012 the Blackfeet Tribe�s Environmental Protection Program requested EPA visit the reservation to view this and other abandoned buildings and review the field inspection reports. All the buildings in question are known to contain asbestos and, nearly all, also contain lead paint, mold and Hantavirus. In November 2012 the Blackfeet Tribe formally requested assistance from the EPA Emergency Response Unit in demolishing the Mainstream building, the Medicine Bear Homeless Shelter and several additional abandoned buildings and properly disposing of the potential asbestos, lead, and TCE contaminated materials, abandoned trash, and unknown containers. Given the hazards present at the Site and the proximity to community residences and children, EPA conducted a time-critical removal action at the Site utilizing EPA�s emergency response contractors. The area is primarily residential and light commercial.
