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.

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.
