RE: Petroleum Tank Release Site File Closure
Site: Dayton Property, 900 Old Long Lake Road, Orono, Hennepin County 55356
MPCA Site ID: LS0021383
Dear Lee Mahoney:
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 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, the Minnesota Environmental Response and Liability Act.
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 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.

protect public health and the environment. If you have any questions regarding this letter, please
