WELLHEAD PROTECTION RESPONSE TO SITE PLAN REVIEW
#DRC2007,00075 SPRINGFIELD SCHOOL DISTRlCT/MAPLE ELEMENTARY
17,03-36-12 TL 100; 2109 "J" Street,
The proposed school development is within the adopted Drinking Water Protection Area, Theproperty
lies within the five-, ten-, and 20,year time-of,travel zones (TOTZs) to the Maia well and the lO-year
time-of-trave1 zone to the 1611> & Q Street well, This area is highly susceptible to contamination from
chemicals that may spill or leak onto the ground surface. During both constniction and operations, any
chemical spills or leaks must .becleaned up immediately, ' All cleanup materials shall be disposed off,site
and in accordance with Lane County and DEQ requirements, In every case, care shall be taken to prevent
groundwater contamination, Construction notes should include these drinking water protection guidelines
and the DNAPL prohibition,
The use or storage of pro duets containing DNAPL chemicals will be prohibited at this site. (DNAPL
and Exempt Lists attached.) ,
GENERAL CONSTRUCTION:
DNAPL Prohibition: The contractor and all subcontractors are required to provide the owner's engineer
with copies of MSDSs for all chemicals proposed for use on-site prior to use or delivery to the property,
Based on,these MSDSs, the engineer will determine if the chemical is approved for use on this site (i,e"
whether or not the product contains DNAPLs), The engineer may contact the SUB Water Quality
Protection Coordinator (744'3745) with any questions about evaluating products for DNAPLs, A copy of
the MSDS for all chemicals used on the project will remain on the job site as required by law,
Chemical handling, storage, and use: Contractors/developers shall be responsible for the safe handling
and storage of chemicals, petrolewn products, and fertilizers and the prevention of groundwater and stonn
water runoff contamination, Chemicals used during construction, including paint and cleaning .
materials/wastes, must not enter the soil or be washed into the stonn 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 ihe soil or storm water drainage system, '

No fiU materials containing hazardoUs materials shan be used on this site,
OPERATIONS:
The site is regulated by the 1'- 5 year TOTZ Standards in Springfield Development Code (SDC) 3,3~235
B. SDC 3,3,235 requires secondary containment for all hazardous materials that pose a risk to '
groundwater when the total aggregate quantity on site exceeds 20 gallons, Areas shown on the site plan
that are likely to need secondary containment are the janitor area, custodial room, and possibly the nurse's
office,
The applicant proposes to install an emergency generator and fuel tank in the service court, A Drinking
Water ProteCtion Overlay District application will be required, The application will need to include cut
sheets for the generator and tank, and the facility hazardous materials management plan should address
spill prevention and response for the generator tank, The applicant should contact me at 541-744-3745 to
discuss the details of the application requirements,
Dumpster areas should be covered and contained to avoid wastes from leaking into the soil or storm water
system, These containment plans need to be approved by the City of Springfield,
Vehicle storage areas should be constructed such that they prevent any leaks or spills from entering the
soil or storm w~ter drainage system, Runoff from parking areas should pass through a system of catch
basins, oil/water separators, and bio-swales before entering the City's storm water drainage system, These
plans 1!eed to be approved by the City of Springfield, '
Because storm water rechargcs the aquifer;SUB requests that wellhead protection signs be placed in the
parking lots, at parent and bus drop-off areas, at the trash enclosure, and at the building entrance to alert
employees and others to the importance of reporting and cleaning up any spills (sign standard attached),
Please contact Amy Chinitz (541,744-3745) if you prefer to purchase signs directly from SUB at the cost
of $15/sign,
Feel free to contact me at 541-744-3745 for further details or with any questions,
Sincerely,
~~
Water Quality Protection Coordinator-
