RE: Petroleum Tank Release Site File Closure
Site: Sixty One Stop, 3575 Pilot Knob Road, Eagan
Site ID #: LEAK00018280
Dear Mr. Carnes:
1u - lion Control Agency
We are pleased to let you know that the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency (MPCA) Petroleum
Remediation Program (PRP) 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 PRP
staff has closed the release site file.
Closure of the file means that the PRP 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 PRP 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 (2010) 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 (2010), 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 for reimbursement, the type of work that is eligible for
reimbursement, and the amount of reimbursement available, please contact Petrofund staff at
651- 297 -1119 or 1- 800 - 638 -0418.

If future development of the site or the surrounding area is planned, it should be assumed that petroleum
contamination may be present. State law requires that persons properly manage contaminated soil and
water they uncover or disturb - even if they are not the party responsible for the contamination. For some
properties, special construction may also be needed to prevent the further spreading of the contamination
and/or to prevent petroleum vapors from entering buildings or utility corridors. The MPCA Petroleum
Brownfields Program can assist with reviews and approvals of Development Response Action Plans
required to address environmental risk from petroleum contamination. If contamination is encountered
during development work, contact the MPCA immediately.
For specific information regarding petroleum contamination that may remain at this leak site, please call
the Petroleum Remediation File Request Program at 651- 757 -2799 or 651- 757 -2309. The MPCA fact
sheet Request to Bill for Services Performed 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
Mark Koplitz at 651 -757 -2502 or site hydrogeologist John Kaehler at 651- 757 -2480.
