RE: Petroleum Tank Release Site File Closure
Site: Holasek Farms LP, 8610 Galpin Blvd., Chanhassen, MN 55317
Site ID#: LEAK19664
Dear Ms. Thuening:
The Minnesota Pollution Control Agency (MPCA) is pleased to let you know it has determined your
investigation and/or cleanup have adequately addressed the petroleum tank release at the site (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 this 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 (2014) 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 (2014), 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, the types of work, and the amount of
reimbursement available, please contact the Petrofund at 651-539-1515 or 1-800-638-0418.
