Minnesota Pollution Control Agency August 21,2000 = 15 L.AL i, Mr. Wally Klus Walfred Properties 5100 Eden Avenue Minneapolis,MN 55436 RE: Petroleum Tank Release Site File Closure Site: 2380 Shadywood Property, Orono Site ID#: LEAK00013541 Dear Mr. Klus: We are pleased to let you know that the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency (MPCA) Site Remediation Section(SRS) staff has determined that your investigation and/or cleanup has adequately addressed the petroleum tank release at the site listed above. Based on the information provided,the MPCA staff has closed the release site file. Closure of the file means that the MPCA SRS staff does not require any additional investigation and/or cleanup work at this time or in the foreseeable future. Please be aware that file closure does not necessarily mean that all petroleum contamination has been removed from this site. However,the MPCA SRS staff has concluded that any remaining contamination, if present, does not appear to pose a threat to public health or the environment. The MPCA reserves the right to reopen this file and to require additional investigation and/or cleanup work if new information or changing regulatory requirements make additional work necessary. If you or other parties discover additional contamination(either petroleum or non- petroleum)that was not previously reported to the MPCA, Minnesota law requires that the MPCA be immediately notified. You should understand that this letter does not release any party from liability for the petroleum contamination under Minn. Stat. ch. 115C (Supp. 1997) or any other applicable state or federal law. In addition,this letter does not release any party from liability for non-petroleum contamination, if present,under Minn. Stat. ch. 115B (1996),the Minnesota Superfund Law. Because you performed the requested work, the state may reimburse you for a major portion of your costs. The Petroleum Tank Release Cleanup Act establishes a fund, which may provide partial reimbursement for petroleum tank release cleanup costs. This fund is administered by the Department of Commerce Petro Board. Specific eligibility rules are available from the Petro Board at 651/297-1119 or 651/297-4203. 520 Lafayette Rd.
