Constellation Similarity Assertions

In 1989, the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency [PCA] issued a request for response action against the Ashland Petroleum Company to investigate an alleged oil spill, air quality violation, and soil and water contamination at its refinery site in St. Paul Park. Six meetings (October 14, 1993, January 18, June 16, and September 14, 1994, January 24 and September 27, 1995) were held to discuss and provide information regarding the pollution problems and clean-up. The meetings were facilitated by Senator Leonard K. Price and attended by city administrators, attorneys, concerned citizens, and PCA and Ashland representatives. This was an ad hoc group; it was not mandated by the Legislature or the PCA. The PCA reached a stipulation agreement with Ashland in August 1995. However, twenty-one residents of the nearby communities filed suit against the company in December 1995.
