Dear Molly
The proposed parking lot development is within Springfield's adopted Drinking Water Protection
Area. This area is highly susceptible to contaminatiOIHrom 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 accordaDce with Lane County and DEQ requirements. In every
. case, care shall be taken to prevent groundwater contamination.
This property overlies portions of the I - 5 year time-of-travel (fOJ') zone to the 16"' & Q Street
Well. It is important to note that 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 ofMSDSs 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 V
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 chemic31s 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, V
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. /

Because storm water recharges the aquifer, SUB requests that wellhead protection signs be placed
at the site temporarily dining construction and permanently at the trash enclosure and in the
parking lot 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,
