Council approves Circle K access for soil borings tied to MPCA leak investigation
Summary
Roseau council unanimously approved a site access agreement allowing Circle K to install soil borings at two city-owned locations to sample soil and groundwater as part of MPCA Leak LS0022549 investigation.
City Superintendent Gary Przekwas presented a site access agreement permitting Circle K to install soil borings at two city‑owned locations (an alleyway by Circle K and an area by the liquor store) to sample soil and/or groundwater related to MPCA Leak LS0022549. After discussion, the council voted unanimously to approve the agreement and authorized signing.
Police Chief Marc Hodge and Superintendent Przekwas reported no operational objections to the temporary borings and city staff will coordinate access and timing with Circle K. No remediation plan or contamination findings were presented during the June 1 meeting; the action authorized access for investigation sampling only. The council directed staff to coordinate logistics with Circle K in the days before sampling.
The access agreement and the MPCA leak identifier (LS0022549) were recorded in the meeting materials and approval was unanimous, with council members recorded as approving the measure.
