Hunting Plan Ordinance Reviewed by
Action Requested
1. Adopt,by motion, an ordinance to add new section 50-119 establishing hunting regulations
within the William H. Houlton Conservation Area.
2. Approve,by motion, the hours for the William H. Houlton Conservation Area to be open from
two hours before sunrise to 10:00 p.m. daily when the WHHCA is officially open to the public.
Background/Discussion
One of the main efforts of the Houlton Planning Committee was to develop a hunting plan for the
Houlton Farm Property that meets the requirements of the funding acquisition,while being sensitive to
community concerns for safety. City Council reviewed the WHHCA hunting plan on June 1, 2015. The
plan was then sent to the DNR for their approval. It was held up for nearly eight months by a new
DNR application process for hunting plans of wildlife management areas.
The plan was finally approved by the DNR Commissioner on March 3, 2016. The hunting regulations
the City Council reviewed in June basically stayed the same. City Attorney Peter Beck incorporated the
WHHCA hunting regulations into the City Code. He added a new section to the code establishing
hunting regulations within a new WHHCA section making it simple for citizens to find within the code.
The ordinance includes the hours the WHHCA is open to the public. At this time the Houlton Planning
Committee is recommending that the hours for WHHCA are open two hours prior to sunrise and close
at 10:00 p.m. daily. The exact hours are not defined in the ordinance so they may be changed at a later
date through City Council action.
Financial Impact
The WHHCA hunting ordinance fulfills the requirements of the funding acquisition.

Dear Mr. McGillivray and Mr. Hecker:
Under Minn. Stat. § 115C.021,subd. 1, (2014), a person is a responsible person for a release from a tank
if that person owned or operated the tank any time during or after the release. If a person comes into
possession of property where there has been a release after the tanks have been removed that person
is not a responsible person under the statutory definition and the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency
(MPCA)does not order that person to take corrective action under Minn. Stat. Ch. § 115C(2014).
Liability is further limited for lenders. Minn. Stat. § 115C.021,subd.4(2014) provides that a mortgagee
is not responsible for a release from a tank solely because the mortgagee becomes an owner of real
property where the tank is located through foreclose or receipt of a deed in lieu of foreclosure.
If future development of the site or the surrounding area is planned, it should be assumed that petroleum
contamination may be present. State law requires that persons properly manage contaminated soil and
water they uncover or disturb-even if they are not the party responsible for the contamination. For some
properties, special construction may also be needed to prevent the further spreading of the contamination
and/or to prevent petroleum vapors from entering buildings or utility corridors. The MPCA Petroleum
Brownfields Program can assist with reviews and approvals of Development Response Action Plans
required to address environmental risk from petroleum contamination. If contamination is encountered
during development work, contact the MPCA immediately,
This letter represents the views of the MPCA and is based upon information disclosed to the MPCA as of
the date hereof. Depending on your circumstances, it may or may not be construed as releasing any
person from liability understate or federal laws. Please be advised that the determination made in this
letter is subject to the disclaimers found in Attachment A. If you have questions concerning your
particular situation,the MPCA recommends that you discuss your concerns with your legal counsel. if
you have any questions pertaining to this letter please call me at 651-757-2778 or at
pamela.foster@state.mn.us.You can also reach the MPCA at 800-657-3864.

Dear Mr. McGillivray and Mr. Hecker:
The Minnesota Pollution Control Agency(MPCA) is pleased to let you know it has determined your
investigation and/or cleanup have adequately addressed the petroleum tank release at the site (Site)
listed above. Based on the information provided,the MPCA has closed the petroleum tank release site
file.
The closure of the petroleum tank release site fife means the MPCA does not require any additional
investigation and/or cleanup work at this time or in the foreseeable future. Please be aware that file
closure does not necessarily mean that all petroleum contamination has been removed from this Site.
However,the MPCA has concluded that any remaining contamination, if present, does not appear to
pose a threat to public health or the environment under current conditions.
The MPCA reserves the right to reopen this file and to require additional investigation and/or cleanup
work if new information,changing regulatory requirements, or changed land use makes additional work
necessary. If you or other parties discover additional contamination (either petroleum or non-
petroleum)that was not previously reported, Minnesota state law requires that the MPCA be notified
immediately.
You should understand this letter does not release any party from liability for the,petroleum
contamination under Minn.Stat. § 1150.021, subd. 1 (2014)or any other applicable state or federal law.
In addition, this letter does not release any party from liability for non-petroleum contamination, if
present, under
Minn. Stat. § 1158 (2014), the Minnesota Superfund Law.
Please note that as a result of performing the requested work you may be eligible to apply to the
Petroleum Tank Release Compensation Fund (Petrofund)for partial reimbursement of the costs you
have incurred in investigating and cleaning up this petroleum tank release.The Petrofund is
administered by the Petroleum Tank Release Compensation Board (Petro Board)and the Minnesota
Department of Commerce. To learn more about who is eligible, the types of work, and the amount of
reimbursement available, please contact the Petrofund at 651-539-1515 or 1-500-638-0418.
