F:Comment noted. Demolition surveys were completed for all removed structures and asbestos removal is underway. G:Site soil is currently being remediated to meet MPCA Tier 1 Residential Soil Reference Values (SRVs). Groundwater remains the responsibility of the federal government under its Federal Facilities Agreement and Record of Decision with the US EPA and MPCA. As part of the County's process of remediating site soil impacts, all known releases of hazardous substances are being removed from the site or treated to make them safe for residential use. This includes all impacts known when the County acquired the site, as well as any impacts identified through the removal of at- and below-grade improvements at the site. In addition, the County is completing incremental soil sampling in former TCAAP operational areas across the site using an Incremental Sampling Methodology (ISM) that has been approved by both the US EPA and the MPCA for use at this site. The purpose of the ISM sampling is to help rule out the presence of any currently unidentified soil impacts. Any areas of soil impacts identified through this ISM sampling will also be remediated to meet Tier 1 Residential SRVs. When the remediation and ISM sampling activities are complete and all impacts have been addressed, the MPCA will issue a Commissioner's Certificate of Completion (the highest level of liability insurance issued by the MPCA), and existing land use restrictions will be modified consistent with the cleanup that was completed at the site. Any additional sampling would be optional for the party moving forward with a proposed redevelopment within the site. H:The project will meet Rice Creek Watershed District rules for rate, floodplain elevation, and water quality. The District is adopting the revised National Oceanographic and Atmospheric Administration’s Atlas-14 standards for storm design intensity, duration, and frequency.The design for stormwater runoff has been discussed with the City of Arden Hills in terms of available capacity now and for future rainfall events, such as the expected increase in the 100-year 24-hour storm event rainfall. The storm sewer system serving the project area has capacity for the future climatic events. I:Comment noted. The County has worked with the Army to properly seal as many onsite wells as possible. Any additional abandoned wells will be capped and sealed in accordance with Minnesota Department of Health requirements. No new public water supply wells are anticipated. June 2014A-6
