Condition of Approval: Prior to Building Permit approval, the applicant shall provide stormwater calculations for all new impervious areas showing that the facilities are appropriately sized and that the areas draining into them. WATEROUALITY Finding: Under Federal regulation of the Clean Water Act (CWA), Endangered Species Act (ESA), and National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES), the City of Springfield has obtained a Municipal Separate Storm Sewer System (M54) permit. A provision of this permit requires the City demonstrate efforts to reduce the pollution in urban stormwater to the Maximum Extent Practicable [MEP). Finding: Federal and Oregon Department of Environmental Quality (ODEQ) rules require the City's M54 plan address six "Minimum Control Measures." Minimum Control Measure 5, "Post-Construction Stormwater Management for New Development and Redevelopmeng" applies to the proposed development. Finding: Minimum Control Measure 5 requires the City of Springfield to develop, implement and enforce a program to ensure the reduction of pollutants in stormwater runoff to the MEP. The City must also develop and implement strategies that include a combination of structural or non-structural Best Management Practices (BMPs) appropriated for the community. Finding: Minimum Control Measure 5 requires the City of Springfield use an ordinance or other regulatory mechanism to address post construction runofffrom new and re-development projects to the extent allowable under State law. Regulatory mechanisms used by the City include the Springfield Development Code (SDC), the City's Engineering Design Standards and Procedures Manual (EDSPM) and the future Stormwater Facilities Master Plan (SFMP). Finding: As required in Section 4.3-110.E of the SDC, "a development shall be required to employ drainage management practices approved by the Public Works Director and consistent with Metro Plan policies and the Engineering Design Standards and Procedures Manual."

Section 3.03.4.E of the manual requires a minimum of 50 percent of the non-building rooftop impervious area on a site shall be treated for stormwater quality improvement using vegetative methods. Finding: To meet the requirements of the City's M54 permit, the Springfield Development Code, and the City's EDSPM, the applicant has proposed stormwater planter adjacent to the driveway for treating and infiltrating this area. Finding: The vegetation proposed for use in the swales will serve as the primary pollutant removal mechanism for the stormwater runofl and will remove suspended solids and pollutants through the processes of sedimentation and filtration. Satisfactory pollutant removal will occur only when the vegetation has been fully established. Finding: The location of the stormwater planter area has not been shown with sufficient details to meet the requirements set forth in Eugene Stormwater Management Manual. There was no inclusion of a stormwater treatment area detail drawing on the plan set. Condition of Approval: Prior to Building Permit approval, the applicant shall provide an operations and maintenance plan to the City for review to ensure the long-term maintenance and operation of the proposed Stormfilter Catchbasin and planter area, consistent with maintenance criteria required J81 1 -20-000195-TYP1 by EDSPM 3.03.1. The plan should designate maintenance responsibility for operating and maintaining the system, and should be distributed to all property owners and tenants of the site. Condition of Approval: Prior to Building Permit approval, the applicant shall submit a suitable vegetation plan for the proposed stormwater planter area. The City of Eugene stormwater management manual and Chapter 6 of the EDSPM may be referenced for design.
