Home My WebLink About08/17/2000- letter from MPCA re: petrol. stor. tank Minnesota Pollution Control Agency low August 17, 2000 1-/ /t)2}1":/ Wallfred Properties 5100 Edina Avenue Suite 112 1 Minneapolis, MN 55436 ,,, RE: Petroleum Storage Tank Release Investigation and Corrective Action Site: Former Residence, 2380 Shadywood Road Site ID#: LEAK000013541 Dear Sir/Madam: The Minnesota Pollution Control Agency(MPCA)has been informed that a release of petroleum has occurred from storage tank facilities that were previously located on your property. We further understand that you have volunteered to take corrective actions to address this release. We appreciate 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. Federal and state laws require that persons legally responsible for storage tank releases notify the MPCA of the release, investigate the release, and clean up the release, if necessary. 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 specifically exempted under the law. Although you are not legally responsible for the release,you hold legal or equitable title to the property where the release occurred, and may therefore 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 Petrofund staff 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 Petrofund staff at 651/297-1119 or 651/297-4203. The MPCA staff is requesting you to take the steps necessary to investigate and, if necessary,clean up the release in accordance with the enclosed MPCA fact sheets. The first step is a site investigation to define the full extent and magnitude of the soil and/or ground water contamination caused by the release. A report(Excavation Report and/or Remedial Investigation/Corrective Action Design(RI/CAD))which details the results of the investigation or concludes that excavation was sufficient to clean up the release should 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 amount of work needed at petroleum release sites. 520 Lafayette Rd.

Wallfred Properties Page 2 August 17, 2000 Sites with free product(free floating petroleum), drinking water supply impacts, surface water impact, indoor petroleum vapor 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 product 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 Petrofund that has experience in conducting petroleum release site investigations and in proposing and implementing appropriate corrective actions. The consulting firm you hire must be registered with the Petrofund. A list of registered contractors and consultants is available from the Petrofund staff. 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. R.2890.0075, subp. 2,you must solicit a minimum of two competitive proposals on a form prescribed by the Petrofund to ensure that the consulting costs are reasonable. Questions about bidding requirements should be directed to Petrofund staff. Please tell us whether you intend to comply with the above requirements within 30 days. The enclosed fact sheets will provide you with the information necessary to complete a successful investigation and cleanup. If you have any questions concerning this letter or need additional information, please contact me at 651/297-8581. Please reference the above LEAK# in all correspondence.

Based on the information provided,the MPCA staff has closed the release site file. Closure of the file means that the MPCA SRS 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 MPCA SRS 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 (Supp. 1997) 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 (1996),the Minnesota Superfund Law. Because you performed the requested work, the state may reimburse you for a major portion of your costs. The Petroleum Tank Release Cleanup Act establishes a fund, which may provide partial reimbursement for petroleum tank release cleanup costs. This fund is administered by the Department of Commerce Petro Board. Specific eligibility rules are available from the Petro Board at 651/297-1119 or 651/297-4203. 520 Lafayette Rd.

Mr. Wally Klus Page 2 August 21,2000 If future development of this property or the surrounding area is planned, it should be assumed that petroleum contamination might still be present.
