RE: Petroleum Tank Release Site File Closure
Site: E -Z Stop Stores, 4195 Nicols Road, Eagan, Dakota County 55122
Site ID #: LEAK 18239
Dear Mr. Miller:
We are pleased to let you know that the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency (MPCA) has determined
that your investigation and /or cleanup have adequately addressed the petroleum tank release at the
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 file means that 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 nonpetroleum)
that was not previously reported to the MPCA, Minnesota state 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 nonpetroleum contamination, if present,
under Minn. Stat. ch. 115B (2010), the Minnesota Superfund Law.
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 leak site, please call
the Petroleum Remediation Program 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.
