AGENDA ITEM:
6
SUBMITTED BY:
Nate Keller, Community Development Director
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Staff is recommending to proceed ahead with investigation of the applicability of applying for grant
funds.
PREVIOUS BOARD ACTION:
None.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION:
Staff has been investigating the possibilities of pursuing a Contamination Cleanup grant offered through
nd
DEED for the below site (former gas station at corner of MN ST and 2 Ave NW):
40
The grant would cover 75% the cost to investigate and clean up the site. The grants are scored based on
the following criteria:
Tax base increase resulting from the cleanup and development of the site.
Social value of the cleanup, demonstrated by the number of jobs created through cleanup
and redevelopment.
An evaluation by the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency of the reduced threat to public
health and the environment as a result of cleanup.
Likelihood that the site will be cleaned up without government money.
Cleanup cost.
Commitment of local authorities to pay the local match
Part of the challenge with developing sites like these (considered brownfields) is knowing what, if any
types of contamination exist within and under the site. The DEED grant covers the cost for Phase 1, and
Phase 2 Environmental Assessment (ESA) along with costs tied to a Response Action Plan (RAP) and
clean-up of the site. Phase 1’s often led to Phase 2 and further to a Response Action Plan (RAP).
A Phase 1 ESA would review the present, and past operations and uses of a property to help determine the
presence or potential of contaminated soil/groundwater.
A phase 2 ESA is a subsurface investigation to evaluate the soil and groundwater conditions as identified
in a Phase 1 ESA. Using data from a Phase 1 and 2 sites are required to develop a RAP to guide
construction management of contaminated soil/groundwater. More information on ESA’s and RAP’s can
be found here: https://www.dot.state.mn.us/environment/contaminatedmaterials/contamination-
investigation.html
Before proceeding with a formal grant application further discussion is needed with the MN Pollution
Control Agency to determine what, and if a full Phase 1, and 2 is needed for the site based on the
potential redevelopment vision of the site. The prospective developer will be attendance at the meeting to
help explain the vision of the site.
BUDGET/FISCAL IMPACT:
None – at this time. Staff would come forward with a formal request and projected grant match amounts
at a later date.
ATTACHMENTS:
1. DEED Contamination grant
REQUESTED BOARD ACTION:
Staff is looking for feedback on moving ahead to pursue/investigate a formal grant request. If its
determined to proceed ahead staff would bring forth a formal request with specifics this Summer (grant
app is due in Nov.).

***YOU MUST READ THE FOLLOWING NARRATIVE TO
FULLY UNDERSTAND THE APPLICATION PROCESS***
INSTRUCTIONS
PURPOSE/BACKGROUND:
The Contamination Cleanup Grant program was established by the 1993 legislature and Minn.
Stat. §§ 116J.551 - 116J.558 gives the Minnesota Department of Employment and Economic
Development (DEED) authority to award grants to clean contaminated sites to allow for
redevelopment. The purpose of the Contamination Cleanup Grant Program is to reduce the
potential threat to public health and the environment, create new jobs, increase the tax base, and
provide other public benefits by redeveloping polluted and unproductive sites.
APPLICATION DEADLINES:
Contamination Cleanup Grant application deadlines are May 1 and November 1 of each year. In
the event that these days fall on a weekend, the deadline will be the following business day. Three
complete sets of application documents are required (1 original, 1 paper copy and a third on an
electronic device.) They must be received by DEED’s Brownfields and Redevelopment Unit no
later than 4 p.m. on either date to be considered for funding. Emailed applications will not be
accepted. An applicant may apply for more than one site, but a separate application must be
completed for each site.All applications must be complete upon submission in order to
qualify for a grant, unless an exception is made in advance. Contact DEED at 651-259-7451.
(LOAN NOTE):
If you are also applying for an MCRLF Loan, you must complete this application, which serves as
Part 1 of the loan application. You must also complete Part 2, the MCRLF Loan Application.)
GRANT ELIGIBLE COSTS:
The Contamination Cleanup Grant can pay up to 75% of the cost of cleaning contamination
defined under the Minnesota Superfund law (Minn. Stat. § 115B.02), as well as petroleum
contamination. Types of petroleum costs that may be eligible under this program are cleanup of
rail yards, scrap yards, bulk oil storage facilities, and under and above-ground storage tanks that
are not eligible for reimbursement under the Minnesota Petrofund (see Minn. Stat. § 115C.01).
See the budget section of this application for examples of eligible and ineligible costs.

FY 21-22

GRANT FUNDING AVAILABILITY:
The total legislative appropriation for this grant program is approximately $15 million for the
biennium.
Since the program runs on a semi-annual grant cycle, the funds will be divided among the four
cycles run during the biennium. Up to $500,000 of this funding can be awarded per fiscal year for
DEED’s Investigation and RAP (Response Action Plan) Development Grants.
The legislature has designated that at least 35% of available funds be spent on remediating sites
located outside of the 7-county metropolitan area unless sufficient applications are not received.
This allows the grant program to assist with cleanup efforts statewide.
ELIGIBLE GRANT APPLICANTS:
Eligible applicants for this program are statutory or home rule charter cities, economic
development authorities, housing and redevelopment authorities, counties, or port authorities.
While these are the eligible applicants, the site can be either privately or publicly owned.
GRANT ELIGIBLE QUALIFYING SITES:
A site must meet each of the following criteria in order to qualify for a Contamination Cleanup
Grant:
1) A grant may not be given to a municipality in the Twin Cities Metropolitan Area, unless it
is participating in the Metropolitan Council Local Housing Incentives Program. For
information on participating in the Local Housing Incentives Program, call Paul Burns at
the Metropolitan Council at 651.602.1106.
2) A site may not be scheduled for funding under the Federal Superfund Program (United
States Code, title 42, section 9601 et seq.) or the Minnesota Environmental Response and
Liability Act (Minn. Stat. §§ 115B.01 to 115B.24) under the current or next fiscal year.
3) A site must contain contaminants, pollutants or hazardous substances as referenced in
Minn. Stat. § 115B.02 or petroleum that is not eligible for reimbursement from the
Minnesota Petrofund. A site must also have a Minnesota Pollution Control Agency
(MPCA) approved RAP. Asbestos abatement in buildings does not qualify under this
grant program, unless it is part of demolition necessary for RAP implementation.
4) Finally, to qualify for this grant program, it is expected that the site will be improved with
buildings or other improvements within a reasonable period of time, and that these
buildings or improvements will provide a substantial increase in the property tax base or
will be used for an important publicly owned or tax exempt facility. The final
development of polluted sites may include, for example, commercial, industrial, office or
housing development.

1) Attach an appraisal completed by a qualified independent appraiser licensed under chapter
82B using accepted appraisal methodology which shows the current market value (pre-
cleanup) of the property, separately taking into account the effect of the contaminants on
the market value. This value should include both the value of the land and, if applicable,
any buildings on the Site. Along with the appraisal, please include the projected value
after cleanup and development.
OR
2) Submit the assessed value of the property for the latest year, as determined by the local
assessor, shown on the most recent valuation notice used under Minn. Stat. § 273.121. If a
property is publicly owned, its value should still be assessed. Along with the assessed
value, please include the projected value after cleanup and development.
REQUIRED CLEANUP BUDGET/SCHEDULE:
You must submit a budget for cleaning the site and a timeline for cleaning and redeveloping the
site (both the budget and timeline are part of the following application). While the redevelopment
of the site is considered in the application and must be identified in the timeline, grant funds can
only be used toward site remediation. The budget page of this application should include only
eligible remediation costs, which are the statutorily defined as “cleanup costs” and “project costs.”
Cleanup Costs: Includes the costs of developing and implementing a response action plan, but
does not include implementation costs incurred before the award of a grant unless the application
for the grant was submitted within 180 days after the response action plan was approved by the
commissioner of the pollution control agency.
Project Costs: Includes the cleanup costs for the site (see above definition), and the cost of related
site acquisition, demolition of existing improvements, and installation of public improvements if
necessary for the applicant to implement the response action plan.
Examples of eligible and ineligible costs include:
ELIGIBLE COSTS INELIGIBLE COSTS
Investigation (if not already funded under a DEED Project/Grant Administration
Investigation and RAP Development Grant or other
grant source)
Cleanup Costs of appraisals or other application costs
Acquisition (if necessary to implement RAP) Counted Development Costs

Please note: You should take great care in estimating your cleanup budget. If you find additional
costs that you did not anticipate in the application budget, you will still be responsible for cleaning
and developing the site. You may submit a second application for your cost overruns, but there is
no guarantee that you will receive a second grant. At the same time, your budget should not be
inflated but rather should be based on careful investigation and planning.
GRANT LOCAL MATCH REQUIREMENT:
It is required that the applicant or other local source pay for 25 percent of the project costs as a
local match to obtain a cleanup grant. Of this local match, the applicant must pay an amount equal
to 12 percent of the cleanup costs from the municipality’s general fund, a property tax levy or
other unrestricted money available to the municipality. This 12 percent cannot include funds from
other grant sources or Tax Increment Financing.
The rest of the local match may be paid with tax increments, regional, state or federal money
available for the redevelopment of brownfields or any other money available to the municipality.
GRANT AWARD CRITERIA:
Due to environmental contamination that has affected many communities throughout Minnesota, a
large number of applicants apply for the contamination cleanup grants. The law allows DEED to
make grants for sites that meet all the statutory requirements and for sites that provide the highest
return in public benefits for the public costs incurred.
In order to evaluate the applications for public benefits with respect to the costs incurred, the law
specifies priorities which DEED must consider. The legislative priorities listed below have been
assigned maximum point values in order to systematically award grants in each cycle. Please
note, an application must receive a minimum of 50 points in order to be eligible for funding.
1) The potential increase in the property tax base of the local taxing jurisdictions relative to
the fiscal needs of the jurisdictions, which will result from developments that will occur
because of completion of the approved response actions. Maximum = 15 points.
2) The social value to the community that will result from cleaning up and redeveloping the
site. Social value includes the project’s time frame, the number of new jobs, the
importance of the proposed facilities and the removal of blighting influences at the site, the
readiness of the project, the development potential and the financial health of the project.
Maximum = 75 points.
3) MPCA review of the reduction or elimination of potential threat to human health and the
environment due to cleaning that site. Maximum = 25 points.
4) The likelihood that the site will be cleaned without use of government money in the
reasonably foreseeable future by considering but not limited to the current market value of
the site versus the cleanup cost. Maximum = 15 points.
Cleanup – IV

FY 21-22

5) The amount of cleanup costs for the site. Maximum = 10 points.
6) The amount and level of the commitment of municipal or other local resources to pay for
the cleanup costs. Maximum = 5 points.
