Additional Property Attributes

During the site investigation, several potential source areas were identified at the former Copper Valley School in Tazlina: dumpsites eroding into the Tazlina River aboveground dumpsites that had batteries, refrigerators, freezers and drums asbestos containing material pallets of paint cans, and buckets with unknown contents crates of unknown white powder underground storage tank located near the boiler building and potential lead-based paint.

Former Use: The area around Tazlina reportedly was a fishing camp of the Ahtna Indian tribes who historically moved up and down the Copper River and its tributaries. By 1900 a permanent village had been established on the north and south banks of the Tazlina River near its confluence with the Copper River. The community of Tazlina developed around the old Copper Valley School, built by the Catholic Church in 1954 to board student from all over the state. The school closed in 1971,when local high schools were constructed in the remote areas of the state. A fire destroyed the main building in 1976. Other buildings not destroyed by the 1976 fire still remain at the site and have fallen into disrepair. The Catholic Church, Diocese of Anchorage, purchased the land from the Bureau of Land Management in 1953. They are still the current owners. The property is for sale and the Native Village of Tazlina is interested in purchasing it.NVT would like to use the property for a charter school, tribal university, or other tribal needs.
