SUBJECT:
HAMILTON CONSTRUCTION
DRINKING WATER PROTECTION OVERLAY DISTRICT APPLICATION
DRC2008-0002
Mark,
I have reviewed all documents submitted for the Hamilton Construction Drinking Water Protection
Overlay District Application (hereafter DWP application) in relation to the criteria outlined in
Section 3.3-200 of the Springfield Development Code (SDC). The property lies within the 10 - 20-
year time of travel zone to the 16th & Q Street Well and is therefore governed by the 10 - 20 year
TOTZ Standards in Springfield Development Code (SDC) 3.3-235 D.
SDC 3.3-225 (D): REVIEW
1) Hazardous Materials Inventory Statement and Material Safety Data Sheets.

2) List ofthe chemicals to be monitored through the analysis of groundwater samples and a
monitoring schedule if groundwater monitoring is anticipated to be required.

3) Detailed description of the activities conducted at the facility that involve the storage,
handling, treatment, use or production of hazardous materials in quantities greater than
the maximum allowable amounts as stated in Section 3.3-235 A.

6) Description of the procedures for inspection and maintenance of containment devices
and emergency equipment.
COMPLETE.
7) Description of the plan for disposition of unused hazardous materials or hazardous
material waste products over the maximum allowable amounts including the type of
transportation, and proposed routes.
COMPLETE.
SDC 3.3-235 (D): 10 - 20 YEAR TOTZ STANDARDS FOR APPROVAL
The storage, handling, treatment, use, application, or production or otherwise keeping on
premises of more than 20 gallons of hazardous materials that pose a risk to groundwater in
aggregate quantities is allowed only upon compliance with containment and safety
standards set by the most recent Fire Code adopted by the City.
Findings:
The HMMP submitted with the application addresses product and container secondary
containment, labeling, provision of spill kits, spill prevention, spill clean-up procedures, and
employee training.
The HMIS lists hazardous material storage areas. The site plan included in Appendix B of the
HMMP shows the hazardous material storage locations listed in the HMIS but does not identify
them specifically as hazardous material storage areas.
Hamilton Construction has proposed to use spill basins, spill pallets, and other devices to provide
secondary containment for its hazardous materials storage.
Section 4.1 of the HMMP inaccurately states that "The City of Springfield requires that all
hazardous material containers must have secondary containment regardless of type, quantity, or
size." The DWP standards for approval for properties in the 10 - 20-year TOTZ state that "The
storage, handling, treatment, use, application, or production or otherwise keeping on premises of
more than 20 gallons of hazardous materials that pose a risk to groundwater in aggregate
quantities is allowed only upon compliance with containment and safety standards set by the most
recent Fire Code adopted by the City." The secondary containment requirements that apply to this
site are as prescribed by the Fire Code.
Conditions:
The site plan in Appendix B of the HMMP must be labeled "Hazardous Material Storage Locations,"
and the storage locations should be clearly identified on the map. It is acceptable to make this
change with handwritten notes and color highlighting.
SDC 3.3-240 CONDITIONS
1) The HMIS should be dated and include a note to be updated annually.
2) During a site visit conducted on July 30, 200S, SUB found that the site currently has areas of oil

the ground surface or in any uncovered area or any-residue-covered containers in uncovered
areas should be cleaned up and documentation of the clean-up provided as part of DWP permit
approval.
3) An inspection to verify physical aspects and processes of the site is required, Please contact
Amy Chinitz at 744-3745 to schedule a site visit.
Please feel free to contact me at 744-3745 if you have any questions.
Sincerely,
