RE: Petroleum T Release Site File Closure
Site: Former Rudy's Auto Service, 3946 Nicols Road, Eagan, Dakota County, 55122
Site ID #: LEAK00017759
We are pleased to let you know that the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency (MPCA) 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 MPCA staff has closed the release site
file.
Closure of the file means that the MPCA 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
MPCA staff 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 make additional work
necessary. If you or other parties discover additional contamination (either petroleum or nonpetroleum)
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 (2002) 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 (2002), 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.
