RE: Petroleum Tank Release Site File Closure
Site: Egan UPS, 555 Opperman Drive, Egan, MN 55123
Site ID #: LEAK00018599
Dear Mr. Hurley:
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.
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 -215 -1775 or 1 -800- 638 -0418.
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.
