Scope Of Work
The county is financing the deal with $21.4 million in bonding, a $6 million transfer from its solid waste fund and $2 million in contingency funds.
The County received its “No Association Determination” letter from the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency on April 9, 2013. This letter protects the County from liability regarding the remediation of the site, and guarantees that this work “will not constitute conduct associating Ramsey County with the release or threatened release of hazardous substances, pollutants, or contaminants at the site for purpose of Minn Stat. 115B.03, subd., 3(4) (2012).”
The County and the U.S. General Services Administration (GSA) completed the first closing on the property on April 15, 2013. The County took title to 397 acres of the site and received a “lease” on the remaining 30 acres until the cleanup is completed. The cleanup contractor, Carl Bolander & Sons, estimates that the cleanup will be completed in 30 months, by October 2015
