RE: Petroleum Tank Release Site Closure
Site: Greenbriar Apartments, 14847 North 60th Street, Oak Park Heights
Site ID #: LEAK00005014
The Minnesota Pollution Control Agency (MPCA) staff has determined that the
cleanup performed in response to the petroleum tank release at the site
referenced above has adequately addressed the petroleum contamination, and
therefore the file regarding this release will be closed.
On February 20, 1992, a petroleum tank release was reported to the MPCA. Since
then, the following corrective actions have been taken in response to the
release:
- Three underground storage tanks (1,000, 1,000, and 560 gallon) previously
containing #2 fuel oil were removed.
- Approximately 20 cubic yards of petroleum contaminated soil was removed and
thermally treated at C.S. McCrossan in Maple Grove.
- Vapor headspace and laboratory analyses of soil samples from two sidewalls
(north and east) and the bottom of the excavation showed all significant
petroleum contamination has been removed from those areas. Excavation work
was restricted on the south and west sidewalls due to the location of the
foundation of the apartment building. Vapor headspace reading as high as 82
parts per million were recorded in this area. Based on available data, the
isolated areas of petroleum impacted soils remaining on -site do not pose a
threat to public health or the environment.
Based on the currently available information, we concur with the conclusions of
Concept Environmental Services, Inc., that these actions have adequately
addressed the petroleum tank release. Therefore, MPCA staff does not intend to
require any more investigation or cleanup work in response to this release.
However, the MPCA reserves the right to reopen this file and require additional
work if in the future more work is determined to be necessary, and this - letter
does not release any party from liability for this contamination.
