A recent review of our files indicates that we have not heard from you whether you intend to investigate and if necessary, clean up the petroleum contamination at this site. We again ask that you respond verbally or in writing to this letter and describe the status of your investigation and /or cleanup, or explain why no action has been taken. You must respond by September 20, 2011. Failure to do so may result in reduced reimbursement from the Petrofund and /or enforcement action taken against you by the MPCA. If you have not already done so, we recommend that you hire a qualified consulting firm registered with the Petro Board that has experience in conducting petroleum release site investigations and in proposing and implementing appropriate corrective actions. A list of registered contractors is available from the Petrofund staff. Please note that, under Minn. R. 2890 (2008), you must solicit a minimum of two written competitive consultant proposals on a form prescribed by the Petro Board. A minimum of two written competitive contractor bids must also be obtained for each contractor service. We encourage you to contact Petrofund staff for answers to all of your questions about bidding and the other Petrofund reimbursement program requirements. The phone number for the Petrofund staff is 651 - 297 -1119 or 1- 800 - 638 -0418. Please refer to MPCA guidance documents for information regarding the scope of investigations required at petroleum release sites. MPCA staff requires that the site investigation fully define the extent and magnitude of soil and ground water contamination caused by the release. If you have questions regarding the actions requested by the MPCA, or if you conclude that the release is not from any tank which you have owned or operated, please call me at 651-757-2315. Otherwise, I look forward to receiving your reply. Please reference the above LEAK # in all correspondence. Sincerely, AED:Is Allen Dotson Project Manager Petroleum Remediation Section Remediation Division cc: Mira Peterson, Clerk, Eagan Michael Scott, Fire Chief, Eagan George Kinney, Dakota County Solid Waste Officer Jeremy Hansen, Braun Intertec, Bloomington
