Dear Molly
The proposed coffee kiosk development is within Springfield's adopted Drinking Water
Protection Area. This area is highly susceptible to contamination from chemicals that may spill
or leak onto the ground surface. Any chemical spills or leaks must be cleaned up immediately
and cleanup materials disposed off-site and in accordance with Lane County and DEQ
requirements. In every case, care shall be taken to prevent groundwater contamination.
This property overlies portions of the I - 2 year time-of-travel (TOT) zones to the Sports Way
Well. It is important to note that DNAPL chemicals are prohibited at this site (DNAPL list
attached), both during construction and operations. (The applicant has already provided a list of
chemicals to be used during operations and none contain DNAPLs.)
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, petroleum products, and fertilizers and the prevention of
groundwater and storm water runoff contamination. Chemicals used during construction,
including paint and cleaning materials/wastes, must not enter the soil or be washed into the storm
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 the soil or storm water drainage system.
No fill materials containing hazardous materials shall be used on this site.
STORM WATER:
Soils lining the proposed bioswale(s) should be amended with clay as a means offurther reducing
their permeability. A sub-surface layer of heavy clay soils beneath the planting beds would also
serve the purpose of directing excess.moisture containing fertilizers and/or pesticides from porous
planting media into the bio-swale(s).
Because this site is within the two-year TOTZ, injection wells are prohibited.
Because storm water recharges the aquifer, SUB requests that a wellhead protection sign be
placed on the site, temporarily during construction and permanently during operations, to alert
contractors, subcontractors, 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,
~L'C4~
