First entered YRITWC database in 2007. There used to be an old BIA school at this site. It was demolished in 2000. School buildings contained asbestos and lead paint. There are still three tanks at the site.

During a 2018 site visit, community members said they believe that the tanks still have fuel in them. They are a concern for the community due to its location and that children play at the site. The community wants to back haul the tanks out once they know they are empty.
