ASI has purchased the Site and proposes to construct a multi-family apartment complex fmanced by the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). HUD has requested assurance letters from the MPCA regarding the proposed development. A Phase I and Phase II Investigation was conducted at the Site by EnPro Assessment. Historically, the past Site activities have included agricultural and residential uses. A Phase II Investigation was conducted involving the advancement of three soil borings; ground water samples were collected from two of the borings, SB-ll and SB-12, located along the west-southwestern edge of the Site. Ground water samples identified the presence of the volatile organic compounds I, I-trichloroethane, trichloroethane, trichloroethene and chloromethane. Elsewhere at the Site a small oil stained area containing diesel range organic contamination (DRO) was identified. This oil stained DRO contamination has since been excavated and disposed of properly offsite. These VOCs detected in these two borings in the ground water and the DRO release in the shallow soil constitute the identified release for the purposes of this letter (the Identified Release).
