In this photo provided by Craig Kreman, one of the various remnant structures of a former Catholic mission in Quapaw, Okla., is pictured on Friday, March 7, 2014 during remedial activities on the Catholic 40 site. The Catholic school, St. Mary’s of the Quapaws, ran from 1894 until 1927 when funding was dismissed and the property vacated. The Quapaw Tribe is cleaning up the site, which was leased to various companies and mined for lead and zinc. When mining stopped, large piles of leftover mining waste were left behind. This caused health problems for residents. (AP Photo/Craig Kreman)
