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 clean-up 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 5 - 10 and 10 - 20 year time-of-travel (TOT) zones to the "Q" Street Well. DNAPL chemicals are 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, 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 (as stated in the general construction notes). 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. ... ..~. .. . S:\SITEPLAN\304 Q Street site plan tentative DWP 5-6-09.doc . . OPERATIONS: A Drinking Water Protection Overlay District permit application will be required. This permit will require, among other items, that all chemicals/hazardous materials used inside or outside be stored in appropriate secondary containment and that no DNAPLs are used on or brought to the site. Sealants used in CO!1t-ili,n,i1}ent areas should be compatible with chemicals stored within them. Please contact me (541.744.3745) with any questions about the DWP application process. Secondary containment will be required for the generator fuel tank and all associated pipes and hoses. Generator cut sheets and a design for a curbed, sealed containment area should be submitted to the City and SUB for approval. The facility hazardous materials management plan should include provisions for protecting catch basin #1 in the event of a spill at the generator site. Fluid-containing equipment located outside the building should be sealed and provided with secondary containment to prevent any fluids from migrating into the storm water drainage system in the event of a spill or leak. More information is needed about the kinds of chemicals to be used in the BV AC system and how they will be contained. -.' If applicable, chemicals stored outdoors (fertilizers, pesticides, etc.) should be covered and placed in secondary containment. STORM WATER: Because storm water recharges the aquifer, SUB requests that wellhead protection signs be placed at the site temporarily during construction and permanently at the trash enclosure/generator and southwest parking lot/building entrance 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, ~t,~ Amy E. Chinitz .
