The majority of the contamination is petroleum based. However, hazardous <br />substances were identified on several parcels and within the ground water in some areas. <br />2.3 Each grant application requires that a clean up plan is submitted and approved by the <br />Minnesota Pollution Control Agency (MnPCA). There are separate requirements for <br />petroleum contamination addressed in a Development Response Action Plan (DRAP) and <br />hazardous substance contamination addressed in a Response Action Plan (RAP). The RAP <br />addresses the groundwater contamination and requires additional assessmentto determine its <br />source and method of cleanup. Both the RAP & DRAP submitted in October of 2005 have <br />been approved by MnPCA. <br />RCA TL Cleanup Grants (412410� - Page 1 of 3 <br />
