Minnesota Pollution Control Agency err - October 10, 1998 Mr. James P. Render Render Residence 5120 Edina Industrial Boulevard Edina, Minnesota 55439 RE: Petroleum Storage Tank Release Investigation and Corrective Action Site: Render Residence, 1365 Tokawa Road, Orono Site ID#: LEAK00011855 Dear Mr. Render: The Leaking Underground Storage Tank Program at the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency(MPCA) has been informed that there has been a release of petroleum from a storage tank that you own and/or operate. This program was developed to provide assistance as you investigate and, if necessary, clean up your petroleum release. We appreciate your prompt notification so we can provide guidance to you in dealing with your release as quickly and efficiently as possible. Federal and state laws require that persons legally responsible for storage tank releases notify the MPCA of the release, investigate the extent of the release and take any necessary actions to clean up the release. A person is generally considered legally responsible for a tank release if the person owned or operated the tank either during or after the release. The MPCA staff is requesting you to take steps to investigate and if necessary, clean up the release in accordance with the enclosed MPCA fact sheets. The first step is a site investigation to define the extent and magnitude of the soil and/or ground water contamination. We recommend that you hire a qualified environmental consulting firm which has experience in conducting petroleum release site investigations and site cleanups please refer to MPCA fact sheet 4.3 Selecting an Environmental Consultant(May 1995). Please be aware that MPCA staff do not conduct the investigation or cleanup at your property. The MPCA staff provide guidance and technical assistance during the project and review the reports submitted by your consultant. However,we urge you to contact us whenever you have a question or concern regarding your project. When you perform the requested work,the state may reimburse you for a major portion of your costs. The Petroleum Tank Release Cleanup Act includes a fund (Petrofund)which in most circumstances provides partial reimbursement for petroleum tank release cleanup costs. This fund is administered by the Petroleum Release Compensation Board(Petro Board), which is part of the Minnesota Department of Commerce. 520 Lafayette Rd.
