On October 10, 1998,November 8, 1999, and more recently, on August 17,2000,the MPCA staff requested that you take the steps necessary to investigate the petroleum tank release at your site.. . _ _ A recent review of our files indicates that we have not heard from you whether you intend to investigate and if necessary, clean up the petroleum contamination at this site. We again ask that you respond in writing to this letter and describe the status of your investigation and/or cleanup, or explain why no action has been taken. You must respond within 10 days of receipt of this letter. Failure to do so may result in reduced reimbursement from the Petrofund and/or enforcement action taken against you by the MPCA. Please respond in writing to indicate your intentions for further action at this site. If your response is not received by the MPCA within 10 days after receipt of this letter,MPCA staff will assume you do not intend to comply with this request. In this event, the MPCA Commissioner may order you to take corrective action at the site. If you do not comply with the Commissioner's order, it may be-enforced in court or alternatively, the MPCA could spend its own money cleaning up the release and then seek to recover its costs from you through legal action. Other possible courses of action against responsible parties who refuse to cooperate with this agency include, but are not-limited to,a reduction to future Petroleum Tank Release Compensation Account reimbursements to which you might otherwise be entitled, and substantial civil penalties for failure to comply. 520 Lafayette Rd.
