Reouest
Approval is requested for a 20,000 ft' tenant infill on the fifth floor of the RiverBend Pavilion Building, which is
located at the Sacred Heart Medical Center. Construction of the RiverBend Pavilion building, parking lots,
landscaping and associated improvements was done in accordance with an approved Site Plan (DRC2006-00059).
The "w,,~';i is located at 3377 Riverbend Drive in Springfield (Assessor's Map 17-03-22-00, TL 4102), and the
site is zoned Medical Services (MS). The 5 year Time of Travel Zone (TOTZ) - a reference contour on the City's
wellhead protection maps - runs through the Sacred Heart Medical Center site. and intersects the subject building.
Therefore, the Riverbend Pavilion is located on the boundary between the 1-5 year and the 5-10 year TOTZs for the
Sports Way wellhead. In accordance with Springfield Development Code (SDC) Section 3.3-220.C.3, where
properties have. parts lying within. one or more TOTZ they are governed by the more restrictive standards. For the
purpose of this review, the applicant's submittal will be reviewed for compliance with the 1-5 year TOTZ
regulations in accordance with SDC Section 3.3-235.B.
BacklITound
Nearly one hundred percent ofSpringfi~ld's drinking water comes from wells. Springfield's drinking water supply
and water quality protection is a critical part of Springfield's Drinking Water Protection Plan. A Drinking Water
Protection (DWP) Overlay District application is required in conjunction with any development application when
the development will affect the storage, handling, treatment, use and/or production of hazardous materials that, in
aggregate, pose a risk to groundwater (SDC 3.3-205.B). This DWP decision is required prior to issuance of [mal
occupancy for the tenant infill.
t
Decision
Preliminary Plan Approval, with conditions, as of the date of this letter.
Other Uses Authorized bv the Decision
None.
SUBMITTAL STANDARDS
SDC 3.3-225.D sets standards for review materials:
1. A Hazardous Material Inventory Statement and a Material Safety Data Sheet for any or all materials
entered in the Statement unless exempted under Section 3.3-230. Hazardous material weights shall be
converted to volume measurement for purposes of determining amounts - 10 pounds shall be considered

STAFF FINDINGS AND CONDITIONS
Submittal Standards
Procedural Finding I: The Applicant submitted a DWP Overlay District Development application addressing SDC
3.3-235 on April 17,2009. The application was deemed complete for the review of a -20,000 ft' tenant infill
(oncology clinic) within an existing medical office building.
Procedural Finding 2: The City of Springfield Planning Staff and Springfield Utility Board (SUB) Water'Quality
Protection Coordinator have reviewed the submitted materials. The Springfield Fire Marshal's Office and SUB
Water Quality Protection will be conducting site inspections as may be necessary to ensure that any required
, secondary containment and spill protection measures are implemented.
General Findinl!
Finding 3: The 1-5 year TOTZ is highly susceptible to contarriination from chemicals that may be spilled or leaked,
onto the ground surface. Special precautions, including the safe handling and storage of chemicals, will be required
during building operations to prevent groundwater contamination. Any chemical spills or leaks must be cleaned up
immediately and cleanup materials disposed off-site and in accordance with Lane County and Oregon Department
of Environmental Quality (DEQ) requirements. In every. case, care shall be taken to prevent groundwater
contamination.
Aooroval Standards
Einding 4: The nature of the proposed use' for the medical office building (ie. storage of pharmaceuticals and
t
equipment for an oncology clinic) will result in quantities and types of,hazardous materials that require special
handling, storage, secondary containment, and proper disposaL The materials expected to be used, stored or
produced in the tenant ilifill space include pharmaceuticals, medical waste, waste chemicals, and hazardous waste.
Finding 5: The applicant has submitted a Hazardous Material Inventory Statement (HMIS), Hazardous Material
Management Plan (HMMP), and Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS) for the chemical agents to be used in the
clinic. The applicant's HMMP adequately addresses product and container labeling, provision of spill kits, spill
prevention, and spill clean-up procedures.
Finding 6: The applicant's HMMP provides for staff training onthe ".v,,~,handling and storage of chemicals and
hazardous materials to be used, stored and produced in the clinic, including provision for reporting and cleaning up
spills, spill containment, safe materials handling, signage, proper disposal of wastes, and ongoing inspections.
Finding 7: To address the requirements ofSDC 3.3-235,Dand the relevant sections of the Springfield Fire Code,
the applicant shall implement containment and safety measures as may be required to protect groundwater. Section
5.1 of the applicant's HMMP adequately addresses the secondary containment requirement. All liquid and soluble
hazardous materials will be stored in secondary containment. The secondary containment tubs or trays will have
sufficient depth to contain at least 110% of the volume of the largest container.
Finding 8: All hazardous materials typically associated with the operation of the clinic are to be stored with
secondary containment as recommended by SUB Water Quality Protection and as approved by the Fire MarshaL
Annex B of ' the applicant's HMMP identifies six hazardous material storage area locations. Section 4.4 of the
applicant's HMMP states that ,pharmaceuticals may be hazardous materials and will be managed appropriately.
Finding 9: Section 8.2 of the applicant's HMMP states that "the sanitary sewage system operator may restrict the
disposal of some pharmaceuticals to the sanitary sewer". The applicant must clarify this policy with,the City of
Springfield Public Works Department and provide specifics in the HMMP regarding guidelines for the disposal of
pharmaceuticals to the sanitary sewer system.
Finding 10: The applicant is not proposing to use, store or produce Dense Non-Aqueous Phase Liquids (D~APLs)
during normal operations, In the event there is a change of use for the tenant lease space, storage or use of
DNAPLs by future building occupants is also prohibited. '
Finding 11: There are no anticipated operations that would be using or generating DNAPLson the site. The
applicant's HMIS sheets submitted on April 17,2009 list,the products to be used and stored on site. None of the
listed products were found to contain DNAPL chemicals. . '
Finding 12: Section 4.4 of the applicant's HMMP states that the tenant will not purchase, store or use any DNAPLs
in the clinic. Additionally, prior to obtaining new hazardous materials, the tenant will submit MSDSs to SUB
Water Quality Protection for their review to ensure the products do not contain any DNAPLs. The clinic will
maintain a log of all products reviewed for potential DNAPLs.
Finding 13: Section 4.4 of the applicant's HMMP states that the clinic will submit an updated HMIS to SUB Water
Quality Protection when hazardous materials are newly added or removed from the HMIS.
Finding 14: The applicant is nOLproposing any activities or facilities that are listed as prohibited in accordance
with SDC 3.3-235.B. '
Finding 15: Section lO.O of the applicant's HMMP describes the clinic's policy for monitoring secondary
containment areas. MontWy inspections of hazardous materials and hazardous waste will use the inspection forms
attached to the HMMP. Inspection and maintenance of the required secondary containment areas shall be in
accordance with adopted Fire Codes. '
Finding 16: Sections 10.0 and 1l.0 of the applicant's HMMP describe the ~Iinic's policy for inspection and record
keeping procedures. Monthly inspections of hazardous materials and hazardous waste will use inspection forms
attached to the HMMP. '
Finding 17: The applicant's HMMP follows the standard procedure for notification of a hazardous material release
in Springfield (ie. to call 911), which dispatches information to SUB Water Quality Protection. Following this
procedure is important because SUB needs to be notified as soon as possible if a chemical release has the potential
to contaminate groundwater resources Or nearby drinking water wells.
Finding 18: As proposed, no groundwater monitoring is required at this site.
Conclusion: The above findings indicate that the medical clinic use can be protected if the applicant follows the
provisions of the HMMP; instructs staff on proper use, handling and disposal of chemicals and hazardous wastes;
and observes ongoing monitoring, and inspection of containment measures. '
