Elizabeth Wakeman, FSST’s Brownsfield Program Director and Tim Spade, FSST Water  Quality Specialist, Derrick Bose, FSST Buffalo Director, helped conduct a search for underground dump sites at the south farm buffalo pastures located on Tribal lands.
A Natural Resources Program staff member from the Wind River Reservation, Wyoming, came to help and brought their Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) equipment to look for underground dump sites on Tribal land. These projects and equipment available to Indian Tribes is fully funded by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). All land held in trust by the Bureau of Indian Affairs or applying to be placed into trust must have EPA inspections and approval that all land has been cleared and cleaned up of dump sites and contaminants.
