The City of Coon Rapids begin working with ProSource several years ago on a contamination clean up project and has been extremely pleased with their work. You may be aware that the City of Coon Rapids is redeveloping -several portions of Coon Rapids Boulevard. One of the City's primary r~development areas contains petroleum and dry cleaning contamination as well as an unpermited dump, all within a one block area. When a developer _p_r_0 P_ _O s_ _e_d- r_e_d?_elo_p_~g the s_i_te, ProSource assembled the data and successfully prepared grant applications to the Metropolitan Council and the Department of Trade and Economic .......... Development. They were also knowledgeable of the requirements for utilizing the state's Petroleum Clean Up Fund and the Drycleaner's Contamination Clean Up Fund. The intention at the outset of the project was to gain control of the site, as several buildings needed to be demolished to complete the clean up. Unfortunately, negotiations to acquire the properties broke down, the developm'-p-u~d-out-ofthe-p-roj-e-ctvan-d-the-grant-dollars-were-n-e-arly pulled. In an attempt to]ump-start the project and preserve the grant award, ProSource proposed a plan to remove only the unpermited dump. Because the contaminates were located on the rear of the properties no buildings would need to be removed, effectively eliminating the issue of site control and allowing the businesses to continue to operate. Preparation for the dump excavation began in the fall of 200i and removal of the contaminants was completed in the Spring of 2002. ProSource's initiative to remove the unpennited dump generated significant momentum for the redevelopment of the area by eliminating a.major redevelopment hurdle. I am certain without this initiative, the City would not be at the point it is in redeveloping the area. Pro Source not only demonstrated their initiative in jump-starting the project, they also successfully managed the expectations of a wide variety of stakeholders. They provided regular project updates to the MPCA, DTED and the Met Council to ensure the work met with their approval. They developed credible relationships with the property owners affected by the project and they presented information in a format that staff could easily share with the City Council. ProSource also spent a significant amount of time on site ensuring that the contractor's performance met environmental standards and that costs were kept to a minimum. They were always aware of the project's budget and throughly reviewed and, when necessary, challenged the contractor's invoices. They were knowledgeable of the project's comPonents, what those components should cost, and resourceful in finding ways to reduce and manage costs. As the City of Coon Rapids works to address the remaining portion of the contamination clean up project, we have found that ProSource continues to operate with a very high degree of professionalism and competence. I would summarize their work as meticulous, efficient, and well presented, and they always seem to operate with the City's best interests in mind. Therefore I am happy to recommend their consideration for your environmental dean up project. Please feel flee to contact me at 763-767-6451 if you would like to discuss this recommendation further.

Page 2 5 6 8 15 16 Page 1 Pa'oS_o_~~ PROPOSAL prepared for The City of Columbia Heights Scope of Work The City of Colmubia Heights (the "City") has initiated a planning process to redevelop portions of the Colmubia Heights Industrial Park area (the "Project") into a mix of new housing and targeted industrial land uses. Hoisington Koegler Group, Inc. has been retained by the City to prepare an Industrial Park Master Plan to identify the redevelopment options which can be implemented in a short time frame (1-5 years). In addition, a Phase I Envirmunental Site Assessment (ESA) was conducted by STS Consultants, Ltd. to identify the known and potential environmental concerns due to past and present uses. It is our understanding that the City is seeldng a grant from the Minnesota Department of Trade and Economic Development (DTED) to perfmxn a Phase II Environmental Site Assessment (ESA) and prepare a Response Action Plan (RAP) or clean up plan of the identified areas of concern. The goal of the work will be to obtain Mi~mesota Pollution Control Agency (MPCA) Voluntary Investigation and Cleanup (VIC) Program approval of the Phase II ESA and RAP to apply for cleanup grants available from DTED and the Metropolitan Cotmcil by November 1, 2003. ProSource has reviewed the Phase I ESA in detail, contacted MPCA staff regarding selected investigations within the Project area and visited the individual Project sites. In short, it is our opinion that most of the environmental concerns within the Project area have had some level investigative and/or cleanup work. In fact, none of the identified environmental concerns are considered "active" at the MPCA and most have been closed. It is also our opinion that a significant work effort will not be necessary to meet MPCA requirements for the RAP. As such, the primary focus of the Phase II ESA will be to supplement previous work to determine the level of cleanup necessary to meet the new, proposed land uses. Our proposed scope of work is summarized in the task descriptions in the following sections. Task Descriptions Task I ~ Negotiate with MPCA to Develop a Schedule of Compliance Based on the conditions of the release of contaminants to the environment and the complexity of the likely regulatory hurdles for the project, ProSource recommends that the City enter into the VIC program prior to initiating any investigative work. The MPCA set up the VIC program to assist parties in cleaning up environmental problems, and in exchange, they can issue closure or "No Further Action" letters to limit future liabilities. These letters are recognized by financial institutions, who may limit or deny financing in the face of potential cleanup costs. There is an hourly charge for VIC stafftime. In general, our proposed schedule of compliance which we would propose to the MPCA would be to: ~ Apply to the MPCA VIC program. $ Develop a. detailed Phase II Investigation Work Plan to describe the purpose of and the procedures used to investigate the conditions in and around the identified areas of concern. ~ P~e2 PROPOSAL prepared for The City of Columbia Heights Conduct a two-step Phase II ESA field investigation to quicldy assess the identified areas of concern and determine future cleanup and disposal options. Compile field data and prepare the Phase II Investigation Report. Immediately following submittal of the Phase II Investigation Report, prepare and submit to the MPCA a Focused Feasibility Study and detailed RAP. Obtain approval of the RAP fi'om the MPCA VIC program. Assist in the preparation of grant applications with the Metropolitan Council and Department of Trade and Economic Development. The VIC progran~ provides several types of written assurances. We have provided one the VIC program guidance documents in Attachment 1 which describes in more detail the written assurances provided. ProSource will obtain technical assistance approval letters for the reports we generate. Since contamination is present which requires remediation, a "No Association" and "No Fmlher Action" letter will be requested at the time the VIC application is made. Task 2 - Detailed File Reviews and Phase II Investigation Work Plan Preparation The second task will be to conduct detailed file reviews of the identified areas of concern at the MPCA and prepare the Phase II Investigation Work Plan following MPCA VIC program guidance for redevelopment projects. The work will entail: ~ Research and review property history (previous investigations, interviews with property owners, etc.) ~ Gather geologic and hydrogeologic information, [, Gather and review soil and ground water testing data [ Use Geographic Information System (GIS) software to develop detailed site map and infonrtation database, and [. Prepare Phase II ESA Work Plan. Task 3 - Phase fl Field Investigation The objectives of the Phase II field investigation will be to quicldy assess and confn'm the location limits of each area of concern; further define the horizontal and vertical extent of contamination, if present; evaluate potential treatment and disposal options; assess impacts to potential receptors; evaluate the potential for natural attenuation of impacts; and define the relationship between site geology, site hydrogeology, and ground water quality. Since a number of the identified areas of concern involve petroleum releases, ProSource proposes to conduct the Phase II ESA field investigation in two phases. The initial phase will be to advance numerous test holes within the identified areas of concern while utilizing an on site mobile laboratory. The second phase of work will be based on the findings of the initial work and involve the installation of permanent grOund water monitoring wells, collection and analysis of ground water samples, and the collection of soils to determine futm-e cleanup and disposal options. In summary, the work will involve: ~=1~. P~e3 PROPOSAL prepared for The City of Columbia Heights Addressing data gaps in previous investigations by utilizing a GeoprobeTM and mobile laboratory to quickly characterize soil and ground water impacts. Advancing soil borings and installing ground water mo~fitoring wells to evaluate site geologic and hydrogeologic conditions. ~Collecting environmental samples from selected soil borings and monitoring wells for detailed chemical analysis. Collecting numerous like building materials to detem~ine if asbestos containing materials are present and determine quantity. Preparing Phase II ESA report and Feasibility Study (FS) TasR 4 - Response Action Plan Preparation After the Phase II ESA report and FS have been reviewed by the MPCA, ProSource will prepare the RAP or cleanup plan. The RAP will detail: ~* Determination of risk based cleanup goals based on future land use; ~Cleanup procedures (i.e. soil excavation procedures, ground water monitoring, etc.); ~ Materials handling and separation of recyclable materials (i.e. concrete, steel, etc.); ~ Identification, handling and disposal of regulated wastes (i.e. demolition materials, solid waste, hazardous waste and industrial waste); g Confu'mation sampling and analysis; !}. Site restoration plans; and ~ RAP Implementation report preparation. Task 5 - DTED and Metropolitan Council Grant Applications In addition to conducting the Phase II ESA and preparing the RAP, ProSource staff will assist the City with preparation of the DTED and Metropolitan Council grant applications. In an effort to illustrate how the Phase II ESA and RAP development grants work with furore grants and the City's local match, the following project cost scenerios have been developed. Scenerio A assumes a cleanup cost of $750,000 with full funding from DTED (75%) and partial local match funding from the Metropolitan Council. Scenerio B assumes a cleanup cost of $1,500,000 with partial landing from DTED (40%) and greater local match funding from the Metropolitan Council. Based on these two cost scenerios, the total estimated local match funding from the City is estin~ated to range from $90,000 to $180,000 inclusive of the Phase I & II ESA costs.

Site Background Dealers Manufacturing Company remanuhctures diesel and gasoline engines. In October 1988, a Screening Site Inspection (SSI) was conducted under the supervision of the MPCA which revealed soil contamination consisting primarily of hydrocarbons and heavy metals. Based on the findings of this work, the Dealers site was included on the Minnesota Permanent List of Priorities (PLP) in December 1990. Project Approach Wade Carlson began working on this project in 1993. Initial work by him included completion of a preliminary site characterization study (Phase I Investigation) in spring 1994, which identified ground water contamination at the site consisting primarily of TCE. Based on these results, a Detailed Site Investigation and Focused Feasibility Study, which included work plan preparation (Phase II Work Plan), a historical review of site operations, soil probe investigation, drilling of soil borings, construction of ground water monitoring wells, ground water sampling, report preparation, and client/agency liaison, were completed during the summer of 1995. A former sanitary sewer system sump, located within the building, was identified as the primary source of contamination to soil and ground water. Based on the findings, an Interim Response Action was implemented in fall 1995 and winter 1996 consisting of a down-gradient extraction well and a vacuum vaporizer well or UVB well in the source area. ProSource was retained by Dealers to continue site environmental cleanup activities in October 1997. '-P~ases Completion Project Timeline Cos~PerPhase During the late-spring and summer of 2000, ProSource installed the new UVB well and two additional side-gradient monitoring wells. Once the new wells were installed, the extraction well was then turned off and the relocated UVB was started in August 2000.

Entry of the site into the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency's (MPCA) Voluntary Site Background i The site consisted of over 100 acres of property with several commercial i buildings and residential homes situated on it. The site was a part of a i closed landfill site that had previously been owned and operated by a large ', multi-national waste disposal company. The City intended to acquire the site for redevelopment. The City's proposed redevelopment activities included road construction, utility placement and the construction of a commercial industrial park, multi-family residential housing and a park. The City wished to enter the site into the VIC program with the goal of obtainin~&se__.v_e£a_l.._~ ~tTpes of assurance letters. Project Approach ProSource's approach involved the gathering and review of existing environmental investigation reports and data for the purposes of compiling and summarizing the data, identifying areas of concern, and using this information to conduct an updated Phase I ESA. In addition, ProSource prepared updated maps of the site identifying the locations of ground water wells, ground water flow direction and summaries of identified contaminant concentrations. The existing data and updated Phase I ESA report and maps, and a VIC application requesting "No Association" and "Offsite Determination" letters for the City, were then submitted to the MPCA's VIC program for review. Phases Data compilation and review, Phase I ESA updates and VIC application preparation/submission: Spring/Summer 2001. Additional data submissions to the MPCA and receipt of VIC letters: Fall Completion 2001/Winter 2002. Requested VIC letters received Winter 2001/Spring 2002.
