RE: Petroleum Tank Release Site File Closure
Site: Prior Lake EZ Stop, 16735 Franklin Trail, Prior Lake
Site ID#: LEAK000180
Dear Mr. Miller:
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.
The monitoring wells for this site should be abandoned in accordance with the Minnesota Department of Health
Well Code, Chapter 4725. If you choose to keep the monitoring wells, the Minnesota Department of Health will
continue to assess a maintenance fee for each well.
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.
