Environmental Board <br />July 27, 2022 <br />Page 5 <br />APPROVED MINUTES <br /> <br /> <br />Mr. Schwartz asked Staff what would happen to the underground fuel tanks once the <br />site is redeveloped and if the site would be permanently contaminated. <br /> <br />Staff said the State of Minnesota regulates how the fuel tanks need to be constructed, <br />and assumed that the rules are quite stringent. He noted the seperation requirement <br />between the well and the tanks, and that the proposed project was well outside of the <br />minimum distance requirement. <br /> <br />Staff said that the run off from the site will receive several levels of pretreatment <br />before reaching Marshan Lake, and that run off coming from the site will be less <br />contaminated than the run off coming from most sites because of this pretreatment and <br />filtration. <br /> <br />Mr. Schwartz made a MOTION to recommend the Kwik Trip Conditional Use <br />Permit and Site Plan Review to be forwarded to the Planning and Zoning Board and <br />City Council subject to conditions listed in the staff report. Motion was supported by <br />Mr. Parsons. Motion carried 5 – 0. <br /> <br /> <br />IX. UPDATES <br /> <br />A. General Updates <br /> <br />Mr. Nelson stated that there are no general updates. <br /> <br />B. Recycling Updates <br /> <br />Ms. Philippi provided an update on this month’s Recycle Saturday.

There will be no event <br />in August due to Blue Heron Days. <br /> <br />The Blue Heron Days parade will be held on Saturday, August 20.
