When a petroleum release is reported, regulatory agencies typically require an investigation involving soil, groundwater, and soil vapor sampling to assess the extent of the release and any potential risks to nearby homes, wells, waterways, or utilities. Bay West can often secure closure by demonstrating there’s no threat to human health or the environment, with many future costs potentially eligible for state-funded reimbursement. As a Minnesota Pollution Control Agency (MPCA) preferred contractor for over 30 years, we leverage our relationships to coordinate with regulators from the start, defining the most efficient and cost-effective scope of work. Early collaboration not only streamlines the investigation but also simplifies reimbursement through the Minnesota Department of Commerce Petrofund program, helping clients recover funds quickly.
