Council Update continued September 22, 1995 9. Long Lake Councilracmbcrs Mike Bash and Liz Olson to discuss and tr> to clarify this issue. We plan to have a follow-up meeting to provide further information and further clarification.) Bill Wear shopping center fuel storage tank leak clean up. A number of years ago leakage from the fuel storage tanks at Bill Wear’s shopping center was identified. In the past year Mr. Wear has been working with a consultant to develop a plan and process for cleaning up the leak. The process involves pumping the contaminated watei from underground into a set of processing tanks that are designed to separate the contaminants from the water. Recently a City of Long Lake Public Works staff person noticed that some trenching was being done on the Wear property. It appeared to be for the purpose of connecting to t e newlv installed storm sewer line along Highway 12. The Long Lake City Administrator has expressed a concern that the contaminated water not be allowed to be piped into the storm sewer, which eventually ends up in Long Lake. Lyle Oman the city s Chief Building Official has followed up with both the PCA and Bill Wear’s clean up consul^t to ensure contaminated water is not and will not be piped into the new storm sewer. The PCA has indicated that Mr. Wear has a permit that allows him to pump the processed water into either the storm sewer or the sanitary sewer depending on the level to which the water is cleaned of contaminants. The citv recently received a trail grant in the amount of approximately $18,000 for the construction of a bike trail to connect the existing bike trail at the south end of the Dickey property to the Luce Line Trail. Tliis is a 50% matching grant. This work will be completed this fall. V I
