- <br /> Jl� N 1987 <br /> '1 <br /> ; 1 <br /> July 7 , 1987 II I <br /> Honorable Mayor and City Council Members : <br /> On April 1, 1987 the Orono Police and Long Lake Fire Department <br /> were called to Ay building at 2160 West Wayzata Boulevard to <br /> investigate a strong smell of gasoline. The fire department <br /> found gasoline seeping into a monitor well on the east side <br /> of my building. <br /> The PCA were called in, and I assume they called their emergency <br /> contractor, Bay West. My tenants in the immediate area closed <br /> their businesses and Bay West ventilated the well and removed <br /> the gasoline. Bay West drilled test wells around my building, <br /> with negative results . At this point PCA and Bay West ordered <br /> that my tanks be uncovered and tested. <br /> Theiests% of my tanks proved them to be sound and not leaking. <br /> However, gasoline is still present on my property and is still <br /> flowing into my monitor well from someone elses land. I am , <br /> still pumping gasoline from my monitor well, but it is a slow <br /> process due to the fact gasoline continues to flow in as I <br /> pump it out. Also there are four 55 gallon drums of gasoline <br /> on my property that I would like to have removed but neither <br /> the drums nor the hazardous material inside belong to me. <br /> I feel action must be taken to find the source of this gasoline <br /> leakage which I feel is a significant and serious hazard. Long <br /> Lake and Orono must not put our soil and most importantly our <br /> water supply in jeopardy. <br /> If the source of the leak cannot be found I would like to ask <br /> the help of Orono and Long Lake in applying for "super fund" <br /> monies as the hazard was not created or encouraged by me. <br /> The expense as of July 7th are in excess of $20 , 000 . 00. <br /> Sincerely, <br /> Wm. Wear <br /> WW/pk <br /> cc: PCA <br /> State Attorney General <br /> City of Orono <br /> (Q/A4.414/ 4inogavi." ,Pb'** *01Z <br />
