State suing southeastern Minnesota gas station that leaked 10,000 gallons of fuel

Published Sun, 29 Dec 2024 20:23:44 GMT

ELGIN, Minn. — A monthslong petroleum leak at a Cenex gas station in Elgin last year resulted in 10,000 gallons of gasoline spilling into the environment, threatening drinking water and creating an unstable gasoline plume within the groundwater that officials are still grappling with.This week, the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency filed a lawsuit against the station’s owner, Gurek Inc., and that company’s owner, Tejinder Singh, to reclaim the costs associated with its investigations and cleanup actions. Specifically, it accuses Gurek of knowingly bypassing safety protocols that, if followed, would have prevented the leak from happening.An MPCA official estimated the agency has spent more than $1.1 million in cleanup costs so far. That figure does not account for the work MPCA employees have done within the past year, said Darin Broton, MPCA director of external affairs. He described the $1.1 million paid so far as “out-of-pocket costs” paid to contractors and environme...
