No one facility has been identified as the source of the contamination. The property is within 1 mile of the municipal wells. More solvents were dumped when Brown Bavaria Turbomachinery purchased the property from Turbodyne in 1978. Later, Brown filled the pit, placed pieces of concrete on the wastes, and landscaped the area. MPCA is conducting a remedial investigation to define the extent and source of ground water contamination and a feasibility study to select the most appropriate alternative for a long-term municipal water supply.
Activities continue on the remedial investigation.
The description may change as additional information is gathered on the sources and extent of contamination.
