Why would the city remove the tanks before closing on the purchase of the property? <br /> So that the City would not be held responsible for a petroleum release from the tank system. See attached <br /> statute 115C.021. <br /> 2. What liability does the city have (from an environmental perspective), by purchasing this property(are we now <br /> liable for past issues)? <br /> The City would not be responsible for release of a hazardous substance prior to their ownership of the property <br /> —see attached statute 11513.03. See question#1 regarding prior petroleum release.The environmental liability <br /> the City would have associated with the property is to appropriately manage on-site impacted materials.That <br /> would mean: if contaminated soil is present on-site, you would need to ensure that people are not exposed to <br /> those soils (i.e. place an impervious cap over soils, dispose at landfill, ensure they are at an appropriate <br /> inaccessible depth, etc.); if elevated vapors are present on-site, buildings may need vapor controls to prevent <br /> exposure of building inhabitants. In short, as landowner,you would be responsible for limiting exposure to <br /> known ON-SITE impacts. <br /> 3. What is Bruan proposing in their Phase II ESA? <br /> The Phase II proposes evaluating on-site soil, soil vapor, and groundwater for impacts/contamination related to <br /> past on-or off-site practices.This includes sampling in areas of known past practices with the potential to have <br /> caused environmental impacts. <br /> If you have any other common questions/obvious questions, please add. <br /> Thank you very much! <br /> Best, <br /> Patrick Brama <br /> City of Ramsey <br />
