Unless the City receives this information as requested by December 27 2004 the City will deem your application as incomplete and your project will not be further considered in January.

Lastly, pursuant to Minnesota Statutes 15.99, Subd. 3(f), the City of Oak Park Heights is herewith extending the period of time for agency /city review of the application for an additional 60 day period (for a total of 120 days from the date of application) inasmuch as the City has determined that additional research and study by the City staff relative to the complexity of the project as proposed will be required. eas r et m '.. ow if you have any questions.

The three locations where the excavations are planned are shown on the attached diagram. SHP has contracted with Bolander and proposes to excavate and dispose of this material at the SKB landfill in Rosemont, minnesota. Our Environmental Scientist will be present on the Property during the removal process to conduct field testing and make observations of the excavated materials. SHP has enrolled in the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency (MPC1Q Voluntary Investigation and Cleanup (VIC) and the Voluntary Petroleum Investigation and Cleanup (VPIC) programs and will be seeking closure letters from them.
