Gunther �,,/��- SUBJECT: Cooperative Plating Environmental Issue As I understand it, I will be taking soil samples from the site that will be dug up to install the pneumatic tubes and telephone wires. I will hold these samples for analysis until an appropriate contract laboratory can be agreed upon. These samples will be separate and distinct from the Phase I Environmental Site Assessment. The Phase I Environmental Site Assessment that would be conducted under a special funding agreement should follow the scope contained in the draft proposal, item C on pages three and four in the August 1, 1991 letter from myself to Victor Rosenblum but as further modified by the Steven Rutzick letter of December 18, 1991. , The consulting firm for the Phase I assessment should be totally impartial with no ties to either Cooperative• Plating Company or to the neighborhood groups. The consulting firm should be chosen from , the list of approved contractors as provided by the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency. The firm should be experienced in environmental site assessments and be capable of conducting Phase II site assessments. It is reasonable that the consulting firm be agreed upon by both the City and Cooperative Plating. Cooperative Plating should have full access to the data and the findings of the consultant but should pay for any expenses incurred for additional data analysis or testing that they (Cooperative Plating) request other than what has been agreed to in advance.

It is understood, however , that purchase invoices will be provided only to the extent that they are reasonably connected to the Phase I Study and that Cooperative Plating will not incur a financial burden in supplying these records. 10 . A complete inspection of Cooperative 's facility and the land immediately surrounding the building which will be done only by the consultant choasen to do the study. It is understood that no physical testing or sampling will occur during the on-site inspection of the building or land surrounding the building except as agreed to during the Public Works Committee meeting of December 18, 1991 . 11 . It is also expressly understood that Cooperative 's allowance of the City to conduct the Phase I Study does not in any way obligate Cooperative Plating to do a Phase II Study until such time as the contract now being negotiated between the City of St. Paul and Cooperative Plating has been finalized and agreed upon to everyone 's satisfaction. It is also my understanding that the' consulting engineering firm that is chosen will have the capacity to perform not only the Phase I Study but any further studies if needed . It is also my understanding that Cooperative Plating and the City of St. Paul will mutually agree to the choosing of this consultant at a later time.

Upon review of the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency (MPCA), Air Quality Division (AQD) files on Cooperative Plating, Inc. (Company), located at 1605 Iglehart Avenue, MPCA staff are requesting the Company to complete and submit the attached air emission permit application along with a $50 application fee to the MPCA on or before March 1, 1991. MPCA files in icate that the Com an has a consistent histo of nuisance comp` lals ranging from odors to "co ored" mist releases which exhaust from the Company's roof, and settles on adjoining property. Chroo►ium-plating processes dischar�e ch:omic acid mist. Chromic acid mist is toxic and corrosive, and its discharge to the atmosphere should be prevented. � � Facilities that have a potential to emit more than 25 tons per year of a single criteria pollutant or are sources of odor emissions, are required by Minnesota Rules pt. 7001.1210, to apply for, and obtain an air emission permit prior to operation. The Company should have also received an Emission Inventory Report from the . AQD. This report should be submitted in conjunction with the attached permit application.

Observations and Comments: The manhole at Asbury & Carroll was checked. This � is where the pipe chanqes from a 27" diameter to 42" diameter. A great deal of concrete was missing in the manhole bottom where the transition to join the inverts had been made (crown elevations were matched). This amounted to at � least 2' in areas, but no breakthrough was found. The first manhole east of Snelling was checked, the invert was very bad and a lot of sand was present. � Both sites had exposed or destroyed re-bar in the pipe itself. The last site was at �Pascal & Concordia. The big pipe takes about a 5-6' drop and then exits � in a pipe that aoes, out under I-94. At the manhole bottom, a large hole was found, abou� 3'x 3` . It was at least 3-4' deep, and a probe could be pushed - ri ht throu h the bottom into the soil . There was definite breakthrou h at � this location, and the exit pipe was amaged also.

However in the event the proposed improvement fails to meet the standards contained in the applicable laws or fails to comply with laws protecting the public health or safety or general welfare of the community, then your Division would have the discretion to deny the permit. In such an instance reasons for denial must be articulated and facts upon which the decision was made must justify that conclusian. There are permits and licenses issued by the City where standards are more clearly specified in the law which establishes the permit. An example would be the issuance of a special condition use permit by the Planning Commission.

The use of the area being constructed is limited to office use as approved by the zoning code. Nothing in these permits would allow expansion of the production facility at either the 271 North Snelling or 1605 Ig7ehart locations. With this letter you are notified that any expansion of the production � facility without first completing all aspects of environmental testing, clean up, and establishment of monitoring programs would be a violation of Council Resolution #91-338 (copy attached) . The City of St. Paul Building Inspection and Desi n Division will monitor construction to assure compliance wi�h the council resolution.
