RE: Petroleum Tank Release Site File Closure
Site: Meadow Run Apartments, 7825 East River Road, Fridley
Site ID#: LEAK00007152
Dear Mr. Lupient:
We are pleased to let you know that the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency
(MPGA) Tanks and Spills Section (T&S) staff has determined that your
investigation and/or cleanup has adequately addressed the petroleum tank release
at the site listed above. Based on the information provided, the T&S staff has
closed the release site file.
Closure of the file means that the T&S staff does not require any additional
investigation and/or clean-up 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 T&S 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 (1992) 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 (1992), 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
Petrofund Board. Specific eligibility rules are available from the Petrofund
Board at 612/297-1119 or 612/297-4203.

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
staff should be notified immediately.
For specific information regarding petroleum contamination that may remain at
this leaksite, please call the T&S File Request Program at 612/297-8499. The
"Leak/Spill and Underground Storage Tank File Request Form" (T&S Fact Sheet #36)
must be completed prior to arranging a time for file review.
Thank you for your response to this petroleum tank release and for your
cooperation with the MPCA to protect public health and the environment. If you
have any questions regarding this letter, please call me at 612/297-8580.
