The MPCA appreciates your timely notification so this site can be handled in an efficient manner. Legal Obligations Federal and state laws require that persons legally responsible for storage tank releases notify the MPCA of the release and /or discovery of contamination, investigate and if necessary, clean up the release(s) /contamination. A person is considered legally responsible for a petroleum tank release if the person owned or operated the tank either during or after the release, unless specifically exempted under the law. For releases of other substances, a person is considered legally responsible if the substance discharged was under the control of the person at the time of the discharge or release or if the person was an owner or operator of the storage tanks and/or tank facility at the time the release occurred. If you believe that you are not legally responsible for this storage tank facility release, please contact the project manager listed below. Request to Take Corrective Action The MPCA requests that you take steps to investigate and, if necessary, clean up the release(s) /contamination in accordance with the enclosed MPCA fact sheets. The site investigation must fully define the extent and magnitude of the soil and/or ground water contamination caused by the release(s) /contamination. For petroleum release sites, the MPCA has facts sheets that will help you or your consultant properly investigate the release and report the results to the MPCA. Unless your site is considered "high priority" (see below), you must submit a report to this office which details the results of the investigation or concludes that excavation was sufficient to clean up. the release within 10 months of the date of this letter. The MPCA reserves the right to reject proposed corrective actions if the requirements of the site investigation have not been fulfilled. Refer to the following web site for related guidance documents and information, http: / /www.pca. state .mn.us /programs /lust _p.html. For Sites contaminated by pollutants other than petroleum, the MPCA requests that you or your consultant contact the MPCA project manager listed to discuss the investigation and reporting timeline that will be required for your site. The MPCA considers sites with "free product" (free- floating petroleum), that have affected or that threaten to affect drinking water supplies, sites where pollutants are being released to surface waters such as lakes or wetlands, sites where petroleum or other vapors have been detected within structures or that pose fire or explosion hazards, to be high priority for staff review. If one or more of these situations apply to your petroleum or non - petroleum facility, a Remedial Investigation /Corrective ActionDesign report (refer to guidance documents) must be submitted within 90 days. The MPCA reserves the right to reject proposed corrective actions if the requirements of the site investigation have not been fulfilled. In addition, if you know or discover that there is free product in a well, excavation, or borehole, you must notify the MPCA within 24 hours and IMMEDIATELY begin interim free product recovery (refer to guidance documents). If you have any question with regard to whether your site is "high priority" please contact the MPCA project manager listed below.
