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. 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 thP�nvestigation or cleanup at your prope�ty. 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.
