The property lies within the 20_yearlwne-of-contribution combined to the Thurston Middle School, Platt 1, Platt 2, and Thurston wells. The applicant stated that the site is "located in the unregulated Zone ,of Concentration," The 20-year/zone-of-contribution combined simply means that the entire recharge area is within a 20-year TOTZ. The site is therefore regulated by the 10 - 20 year TOTZ Standards in Springfield Development Codc (SDC) 3.3-235 D. This area is highly susceptible to contamination from chemicals that may spill or leak onto the ground surface. ,During both construction and'operations, any chemical spiUs or leaks must be cleaned up immediately. All cleanup materials shall be disposed off-site and in ~ccordance with Lane County and DEQ requirements. In every case, care shall be taken to prevent groundwater contan'rination. Construction notes should mclude drinking water protection guidelines. GENERAL CONSTRUCTION: ContractorslDevelop,ers shall be responsible for the safe handling and storage of cheri1icals, petroleum . products, and fertilizers, and the prevention of groundwater and storm wilter runoff contamination, All chemicals should ,be placed in adequate secondary containment. ' Care shall be taken to prevent fluid-containin'g equipment located outside from leaking. A dedicated area for fueling and maintenance of equipment should be provided. This 'area should be prepared and maintained such that, in thc event of a leak or spill, no fluids will migrate into the soil or storm water drainage system. . " Care shall be taken to ensure that no chemicals used during construction enter the soil or be washed into the storm water system. No paint or cleaning materials or wastes shall be allowed ,to enter the soils or storm water system. ( No fill materials containing hazardous materials shall be used on this site.

A Drinking Water Protection Overlay District application will be required. The application will need to include cut sheeis for the generator and tank, and the facility h.a2ardous materials, management plan should address spill prevention and response for the generator tank. The ~pplicant should contact me at 541-744-3745 to discuss the debiils of the application requirements. . Dumpster areas should be covered and contained to avoiq 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 conslructed such that they prevent any leaks or spills'from entering the soil or storm water ,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 need to be approved by the City of Springfield. , Because storm water recharges the aquifer, SUB requests that wellhead protection signs be placed at the parking lot, parent and bus drop-off areas, trash enclosure, and building entrance to alert employees and others to thc importance of reporting and clcaning up any spills (sign.!standard attached). Please contact Amy Chinitz (541-744-3745) if you prefer 10 purchase signs directly from SUB at the cost of $15/sign.
