RE: Petroleum Storage Tank Release Site File Closure

Site ID#: LEAK0020354
Dear Mr. Reymann:
The Minnesota Pollution Control Agency(MPCA) Petroleum Remediation Unit staff has determined that
the investigation completed has adequately addressed the fuel oil release from the underground
storage tank system removed March 31, 2017, at the site listed above. Based on the information
provided,the MPCA has closed the petroleum tank release site file.
The closure of the petroleum tank release site file means the MPCA staff does not require any additional
investigation or cleanup work at this time in response to the identified petroleum release. Please be
aware that file closure does not mean that the petroleum contamination has been removed from this
site. However,the MPCA has concluded that the petroleum contamination to soil from this release does
not appear to pose a threat to public health or the environment under current conditions.
The MPCA reserves the right to reopen this file and to require additional investigation and cleanup work
if new information, changing regulatory requirements,or changed land use make additional work
necessary. If you or other parties discover additional contamination (either petroleum or nonpetroleum)
that was not previously reported, Minnesota law requires that the MPCA be notified immediately.
You should unde'rstand this letter does not release any party from liability for the petroleum
contamination under Minn. Stat. § 115C.021, subd. 1 (2014)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. § 1156(2014),the Minnesota Superfund Law.
Please note that as a result of performing the requested work you may be eligible to apply to the
Petroleum Tank Release Compensation Fund (Petrofund)for partial reimbursement of the costs you
have incurred in investigating and cleaning up this petroleum tank release.The Petrofund is
