The MPCA further understands that you have volunteered to take corrective actions to address this release. The MPCA appreciates your assistance in this matter. The purpose of this letter is to explain your eligibility for Petrofund reimbursement and to outline the actions that the MPCA staff request that you take. Legal Obligations State laws require that persons legally responsible for storage tank releases notify the MPCA of the release and/or discovery of contamination, investigate and, if necessary, clean up the release and/or contamination. A person is considered legally responsible for a petroleum tank release if the person owned or operated the tank either during or after the release, unless specifically exempted under the law. See Minn. Stat. §115C.021 (2008). Request to Take Corrective Action The MPCA staff is requesting you to take the steps necessary to investigate and, if necessary, clean up the release in accordance with MPCA guidance documents. The Site investigation must fully define the extent and magnitude of the soil and/or groundwater contamination caused by the release(s)/contamination. Unless your site is considered "high priority"(see below), you must submit a report to the MPCA which details the results of the investigation or concludes that excavation was sufficient to clean up the release, within 10 months of the date of this letter. The MPCA reserves the right to reject proposed corrective actions if the requirements of the site investigation have not been fulfilled. Guidance documents and related information are located at the following web site: http://www.pca.state.mn.us/programs/lust�.htmi. The MPCA considers certain site conditions as high priority, including sites with "free product" (free- floating petroleum)that have affected or that threaten to affect drinking water supplies, sites where pollutants are being released to surface waters such as lakes or wetlands, and sites where petroleum or other vapors have been detected within structures or that pose fire or explosion hazards. If one or more of these situations apply to your site, you must submit an Investigation Report Form (refer to guidance documents)to the MPCA within 90 days. The MPCA reserves the right to reject proposed corrective actions if the requirements of the site investigation have not been fulfilled. In addition, if you know or discover that there is free product in a well, excavation, or borehole,you must notify the MPCA immediately of such a release and as rapidly and thoroughly as possible begin interim free product recovery(refer to guidance documents). If you have any question as to whether your site is high pr�iority, please contact the MPCA project manager listed below.
