Dear Mr. Limbird:
The proposed development at the above-referenced location is within Springfield's adopted
Drinking Water Protection Area (10-99 year time-of-travel zone to the SP well). Chemical
spills or leaks at this location have the potential to contaminate Springfield's drinking water
supply. Any chemical spills or leaks shall be cleaned up immediately and clean-up materials
disposed off-site in accordance with Lane County and DEQ requirements. Care shall be
taken during construction to prevent groundwater contamination.
Construction notes shall include the following drinking water protection guidelines:
• Any chemical spills or leaks must be cleaned up immediately and clean-up materials
disposed off-site and in accordance with Lane County and DEQ requirements.
• Chemical handling,storage, and use: Contractors/developers shall be responsible for
the safe handling and storage of chemicals,petroleum products,and fertilizers and
the prevention of groundwater and storm water runoff contamination. Chemicals
used during construction, including paint and cleaning materials/wastes, must not
enter the soil or be washed into the storm water system. All chemicals should be
stored in adequate secondary containment.
• Equipment maintenance and fueling: Precautions must be taken to prevent fluid-
containing equipment located outside from leaking,including providing a dedicated
area for fueling and maintenance of equipment. This area should be prepared and
maintained in a way that prevents spills or leaks from migrating to the soil or storm
water drainage system.
• No fill materials containing hazardous materials shall be used on this site.

A Drinking Water Protection (DWP) Overlay District Development Application will be
required if the project will affect the storage,use,and/or production of hazardous or other
materials that pose a risk to groundwater; or will increase the quantity of hazardous or
other materials that pose a risk to groundwater that are stored,used and/or produced. If
the DWP application will be required, please contact me (541.744.3745) to discuss the
requirements and submittal materials.
Rooftop mounted equipment and other fluid-containing equipment located outside the
building should be sealed and provided with secondary containment or a weather resistant
enclosure. In the event of a spill or leak, this will prevent any fluids from migrating into the
storm water drainage system.
Wellhead protection signs (using the sign standard provided by SUB) shall be placed at
the site temporarily during construction and permanently adjacent to truck bays,building
entrances,trash enclosures,stormwater facilities, and elsewhere on the site to alert
contractors, subcontractors, employees, and others to the importance of reporting and
cleaning up any spills. Please contact me (541-744-3745) if you prefer to purchase signs
directly from SUB at the cost of$15/sign.
If any new swale facilities will be added, the following standards shall apply:
• The thickness of the constructed medium, including or in addition to the growing
medium,at the base of the swale shall be a minimum of 24 inches thick.
• The base of the swale shall include a constructed medium comprising a mixture of
sand, native soil, loam,and compost. The fraction of organic carbon (foc) in the
constructed medium shall be a minimum of 0.20 (i.e., 40-50%) organic matter. If the
growing medium does not conform to this minimum foc requirement,then the
constructed medium would be placed in addition to the required growing medium.
Feel free to contact me at 541-744-3745 for further details or with any questions.
Sincerely,
av-kz.
