Legal Obligations 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 actions needed to ensure that the release is cleaned up. A person is considered legally responsible for a tank release if the person owned or operated the tank either during or after the release, unless IPeCoulbelieve that exempted under the law. See Minn. Stat. § 115C.021 (1992) • lease submit a you are not legally responsible for this storage tank release, p written explanation of your position to the MPCA within 30 days. If you are not legally responsible for the release, but hold legal or equitable title to the property where the release occurred, you may volunteer to take corrective action. Responsible persons and volunteers who take corrective action may be eligible for reimbursement for a major portion of the costs of corrective action. The legislature has established the Petroleum Tank Release Cleanup Account to reimburse responsible persons and volunteers. The account is administered by the Petro Board which is part of the Minnesota Department of Commerce. Final decisions regarding the amount of reimbursement are made by the Petro Board. All questions about eligibility and reimbursement should be directed to the Petro Board at 612/297-1119 or 612/297-4203. 520 Lafayette Rd.

The MPCA requires that you conduct a site investigation to define the full extent and magnitude of the soil and/or ground water contamination caused by the release. A report which details the results of the investigation or concludes that excavation was sufficient to address the release for cleanup (Excavation Report and/or Remedial Investigation/Corrective Action Design (RI/CAD)) must be submitted to this office within 10 months of the date of this letter. Please refer to MPCA fact sheets for information pertaining to the degree of ' investigative work necessary at petroleum release sites. Sites with free product, drinking water supply impacts, fire or explosion hazards, or ground water impacts which pose a significant threat to public health or the environment, are considered high priority for staff review. If one or more of these situations apply to your site, an RI/CAD report must be submitted within 90 days. In addition, if you know or discover that there is free-floating petroleum in a well, excavation, or borehole, you must notify the MPCA within 24 hours and IMMEDIATELY begin interim free product recovery. If you have not already done so, the MPCA recommends that you hire a qualified consulting firm registered with the Petro Board that has experience in conducting petroleum release site investigations and in proposing and implementing appropriate corrective actions. A list of registered contractors and consultants is available from the Minnesota Department of Commerce. The MPCA reserves the right to reject proposed corrective actions if the requirements of the site investigation have not been fulfilled. Please note that, under Minn. Rules pt. 2890.0075, subp. 2, you must solicit a minimum of two competitive proposals on a form prescribed by the Petro Board to ensure that the consulting costs are reasonable. Questions about bidding requirements should be directed to Petro Board staff. Required Response MPCA staff requests a written or verbal response to this letter within 30 days. In your response, please tell us whether you intend to comply with the above requirements. If you do not respond within this time frame, the MPCA staff will assume that you do not intend to comply, in which case the MPCA Commissioner may order you to take corrective action. If you do not comply with the Commissioner's order, it may be enforced in court or, alternatively, the MPCA could use state funds to clean up the release and then request the Attorney General to recover its costs from you through legal action. Failure to cooperate with the MPCA in a timely manner will also result in reduced reimbursement from the Petro Board. See Minn.

Based on the information provided, the TERS staff has closed the release site file. Closure of the file means that the TERS staff does not require any additional investigation and/or cleanup 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 TERS 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 nonpetroleum) 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. 11�C (1994) or any other applicable state or federal law. In addition, this letter does not release any party from liability for nonpetroleum contamination, if present, under Minn. Stat. ch. 11�B (1994), the Minnesota Superfund Law. Because you performed the requested «•ork, the state may reimburse you for a major portion of your costs. The Petroleum Tank Release Cleanup Act establishes a fund which may provide partiai reimbursement for petroleum tanl:release cleanup costs. This fund is administered by the Minnesota Department of Commerce Petro Board. Specific eligibility rules are available from the Petro Board at 612/297-1119 or 612!297-4203.
