Based on the information provided, MPCA VPIC staff has closed the release site file. Closure of the file means that VPIC staff does not require any additional investigation and/or cleanup work at this time or in the foreseeable future in response to the identified petroleum release. Please be aware that file closure does not mean that all petroleum contamination has been removed from this site. However, the VPIC staff has concluded that any remaining pet��oleum contarr�ination, if present, does not appear to pose a threai to pubiic heaitn 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.

If future development of this property or the surrounding area is planned, it should be assumed that petroleum contamination may still be present.

' Request to Take Corrective Action The MPCA staff requests that you take steps to investigate and, if necessary, clean up the release in accordance with the enclosed MPCA fact sheets. The site investigation must fully define the extent and magnitude of the soil and/or ground water contamination caused by the release.

If one or more of these situations apply to your site, an RI/CAD report must be submitted within 9U days of discovery of the situation. In addition, if you know or discover that there is free-product from 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 staff 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 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.
