RE: Soil Correction at the vacant lot in the southwest quadrant of
oakgreen Avenue and 58 Street North, in oak Park Heights, Minnesota
(Parcel ID # 0502920140002)
Dear Mr. Johnson:
In this letter, we provide information as requested in your December 16,
2004 letter regarding the Conditional Use Permit (CUP) for Senior Housing
Partners (SHP), the Property owner. You highlighted 12 items on the
development application checklist which are addressed below.

boundari of the subject property ( attached)
4 ) Project N arrative
SHP hired GME Consultants. Inc. to provide environmental consulting
services, including Phase I and II Environmental Site Assessments
(ESAs) We found low level petroleum contamination in the soil and
buried debris in three locations on the Property labeled areas 1, 2,
3 on the attached diagram. SHP proposes to excavate and dispose of
the impacted material which is estimated to be about 800 cubic yards.
These three areas are further described below.
Area 1 - It appears that fill soil with debris had been deposited
in this former "low" area in the past, We estimate that the fill
soil with debris is about 4 to 5 feet below existing grade at its
deepest location, which thins out to its perimeter.

Area 2 -- we previously observed scattered surface petroleum
staining in this area. we estimate that the upper l to 2 feet of
soil is impacted.
Area 3 - This area was reportedly the forme: location of a basement
on the Property. It appears that fill soil with debris had been
deposited in the former basement. we estimate that the basement
floor slab is about H feet below grade.
Our Environmental. Scientist will be present on the Property during
the removal process, to conduct field testing and observe the
excavated materials. Following excavation, we plan to collect
confirmation soil samples from the bottom and sidewalls of the
excavations for analytical testing. The confirmation samples will
determine whether residual contaminated soil remains. Following
confirmation that the contaminated soil has been removed, SHP
proposes to backfill the excavations to original grade with a
suitable soil.. Since backfilling of the excavations could occur two
to three weeks after excavation, the sidewalls will be sloped for
safety.
SHP has enrolled this site in the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency
(MPCA) voluntary Investigation and Cleanup (VIC) and the voluntary
Petroleum Investigation and Cleanup (VPIC) programs. These programs
will provide technical assistance and review services and may provide
legal assurances through closure letters upon project or objective
completion.

6 ) Schematic drawing of proposed development ( attached)
7 ) Property Survey /.got Dimension Plan (attached)
8 ) Grading and Drainage Plan
A grading and drainage plan was not prepared because no permanent
grade changes are being proposed at this time. SHP is planning to
remove the impacted fill soil and debris from the Property and
backfill the excavations to existing conditions.
9 ) Existing Site Condit-ions Plan ( see Property Survey/Lot Dimension
Plan)
10 ) Site Development Plan
Development of the Property is not planned at this time. SHP is
planning to remove the impacted fill soil and debris from the
Property and return the surface grade to existing conditions.
11) Traffic /vehicular Management Plan
SHP contracted Carl Bolander & Sons Company (Bolander) to excavate
these materials and load it directly into trucks for disposal at the
SKB landfill in Rosemount, Minnesota. Prior to hauling the material,
Mr. Eric A. Johnson 3 December 23, 200,4

Bolander intends to place landscape fabric overlain b Class 5 g ravel

Bolander will place "Truck Haulin si on Oak Avenue and 58 th
