RE: Petroleum Tank Release Site File Closure
Site: Deerwood Elementary, 1480 Deerwood Dr., Eagan, Dakota County 55122
MPCA Site ID: LS0021060
Dear Chris Pint:
The Minnesota Pollution Control Agency (MPCA) is pleased to let you know it has determined your
investigation and/or cleanup has adequately addressed the petroleum tank release at the site (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 site file means 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 the 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 non -petroleum) that was not
previously reported, Minnesota state law requires that the MPCA be notified immediately.
You should understand this letter does not release any party from liability for the petroleum contamination
under Minn. Stat. § 115C.021, subd. 1 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. § 115B, the
Minnesota Environmental Response and Liability Act.
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, the types of work, and the amount of reimbursement available, please contact the
Petrofund at 651-539-1515 or 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 should be notified immediately.

public health and the environment. If you have any questions regarding this letter, please contact me at
651-757-2606 or by email at ryan.lundgren@state.mn.us. Please reference the above MPCA Site ID in all
correspondence. You may also reach the MPCA by calling 651-296-6300 or 800-657-3864.
