comments from the MPCA on the revised language. The MPCA praised the <br /> City's efforts to include MPCA remediation requirements in the zoning <br /> regulations. The City's legal consultants are also reviewing this section. <br /> o There are two parts to the MPCA remediation process: the Voluntary <br /> Investigation and Cleanup (VIC) program and the Petroleum Remediation <br /> program. The VIC program covers non-petroleum contaminants. While the <br /> programs are separate, there is interaction between them. <br /> o Before building permits are issued, the MPCA recommended that a Response <br /> Action Plan (RAP) with approval from VIC and Petroleum be completed. The <br /> RAP details the steps needed to remediate the land to the level needed for a <br /> particular land use. The MPCA recommended against waiting to issue building <br /> permits until remediation is completed because the RAP often uses building <br /> construction and site layout as part of the remediation (for example, a parking lot <br /> over a contaminated spot or a ventilation system for vapor intrusion). Instead, the <br /> City may be able to withhold Certificates of Occupancy until the developer <br /> provides the "Certificate of Completion" from the VIC program and the <br /> "Development Completion" letter from the Petroleum program. This certificate <br /> and letter are considered the highest level of assurance that the remediation has <br /> been completed to MPCA requirements. <br /> • Section 1320.135 Subd. 12—Subdivision Component <br /> o This subdivision was recently added and is under review. <br /> Attachment <br /> Draft Zoning Regulations for the Mixed Residential and Mixed Business Zoning Districts (dated <br /> April 1, 2010). <br /> City of Arden Hills <br /> Mhdocshah WHdata Oanningl Community Development lTCAAPIPIanning-Public AuctionlLand Use PlanningW40710-PC Memo-TCAAP <br /> Planning Process.doc <br /> Page 5 of 5 <br />
