RE: Petroieum Tank Release Site ' Closure
Site: Orono Truck Station 3880 Shore in"T'e Drive, Orono
Site ID#: LEAK00007699
Dear Mr. Halder: '
We are pleased to let you know that the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency(MPCA) Tanks and
Spills Section(T&S) 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 T&S staff has closed the release site file.
Closure of the file means that the T&S staff does not require any additional investigation and/or
clean-up 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 T&S 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 (1992) 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 (1992), the Minnesota Superfund Law. �
