RE: Petroleum Tank Release Site File Closure
Site: Dammon Residence, 2040 Spates Avenue, Orono, MN 55391
Site ID#: LS0020198
Dear Ms. Dammon:
The Minnesota Pollution Control Agency(MPCA) is pleased to let you know it has determined your investigation
and/or cleanup have adequately addressed the petroleum tank release at the site (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 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 MPCA has
concluded that any remaining contamination, if present, 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/or cleanup work if
new information, changing regulatory requirements, or changed land use makes additional work necessary. If you
or other parties discover additional contamination (either petroleum or non-petroleum)that was not previously
reported, Minnesota state law requires that the MPCA be notified immediately.
You should understand 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. § 115B (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 administered by the Petroleum Tank Release
Compensation Board (Petro Board) and the Minnesota Department of Commerce.To learn more about who is
eligible,the types of work, and the amount of reimbursement available, please contact the Petrofund at
651-539-1515 or 1-800-638-0418.
If future development of this property or the surrounding area is planned, it should be assumed that petroleum
contamination may still be present. If petroleum contamination is encountered during future development work,
the MPCA should be notified immediately.
For specific information regarding petroleum contamination that may remain at this leak site, please call the
Petroleum Remediation Program File Request Program at 651-757-2335.The MPCA fact sheet Request to Bill for
Services Performed must be completed prior to arranging a time for file review.
