This plan shall show location and density of plants and specify individual plants or seed
mix used to provide the necessary vegetation to ensure tl1at tl1e swale provides adequate
storm water quality improvements.
WATER OUALITY
Finding: Under Federal regulation of the Clean Water Act (CWA), Endangered Species
/ Act (ESA), and National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES), the City of
V Springfield has obtained a Municipal Separate Storm Sewer System (MS4) permit. A
provision ofthis permit requires the City demonstrate efforts to reduce tl1e pollution in
urban stormwater to tl1e Maximum Extent Practicable (MEP).
Finding: Federal and Oregon Department of Environmental Quality (ODEQ) rules
/require tl1e City's MS4 plan address six "Minimum Control Measures." Minimum
Y Control Measure 5, "Post-Construction Stormwater Management for New Development
and Redevelopment," applies to tl1e 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
jIunoffto 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 tl1e community.
Finding: Minimum Control Measure 5 requires tl1e City of Springfield use, an ordinance
or otl1er regulatory mechanism to address post construction runoff from new and re-
i development projects to the extent allowable under State law. Regulatory mechanisms
used by the City include the Springfield Development Code (SDC), tl1e City's
Engineering Design Standards and Procedures Manual (EDSPM) and tl1e future
Stormwater Facilities Master Plan (SFMP),
Finding: As required in Section 4.3-11 O.E of the SDC, "a development shall be required
.,/ to employ drainage management practices approved by the Public Works Director and
consistent witl1 Metro Plan policies and tl1e Engineering Design Standards and
Procedures Manual."
Finding: Section 3,02 of the City's EDSPM states tl1e Public Works Department will
j accept, as interim design standards for stormwater quality, water quality facilities
designed pursuant to the policies and procedures of eitl1er the City of Portland (BES), or
the Clean Water Services (CWS). '
Finding: Section 3.03.3.B oftl1e City's EDSPM states all public and private development
and redevelopment projects shall employ a system of one or more post-developed BMPs
j, that in combination are designed to achieve at least a 70 percent reduction in tl1e total
suspended solids in tl1e runoff generated by that development. Section 3.03.4.E oftl1e
manual requires a minimum of 50 percent of tl1e non-building rooftop impervious area on
a site shall be treated for stormwater quality improvement using vegetative methods.

R~\sEb
Finding: To meet tile requirements of the City's MS4 permit, the Springfield
Development Code, and the City's EDSPM, tile applicant has proposed one private
J vegetative water quality swale but tile actual seed mix and/or plant typesahd applications
rates have not been specified. The applicant has provided a list of plants from tile
Portland Stormwater Management Manual that are suitable for use in a bio-swale, but has
not specified exact plants, number or seed mix to be used. This information is necessary
to evaluate tile proposed swale for adequate functioning as water' quality feature.
)
Finding: The vegetation proposed for use in the swales will serve as tile pnmary pollutant
removal mechanism for the stormwater runoff, and will remove suspended solids and
pollutantstlrrough the processes of sedimentation and filtration. Satisfactory pollutant
removal will occur only when ,tile vegetation has been fully established.

/' maintenance plan to tile City for review. The plan shall contain a schedule and plan for
periodic maintenance ofthe facility. This plan shall clearly state who is responsible.for
tile long term maintenance of the vegetated swale.
j Condition: Prior to final site plan approval, tile applicant shall submit a proposed seed mix
and/or plant list and location for tile private vegetative water quality swale. The seed mix
and application rates shall meet tile requirements of tile City's interim desigh standards as

manual may be referenced for design.
