2010 E HENNEPIN AVE

The General Mills/Henkel Corporation site is located at 2010 East Hennepin Avenue in a mixed light industrial/commercial and residential neighborhood of Minneapolis, Minnesota. A plume of contaminated groundwater extends to the south and southwest of the site. General Mills used the property as a technical center and research laboratory for food research beginning in 1930, and in 1947 added chemical research operations at the property. From 1947 to 1962, approximately 1,000 gallons of solvents were believed to have been disposed in an on-site soil absorption pit each year. BBD Holding purchased the property in 1989, and site buildings now provide space for a variety of small businesses. Shallow groundwater at the site flows generally southwest and discharges to the Mississippi River approximately 1 1/4 mi from the site. All residences and businesses in the area are connected to the municipal water system.
