Dear Andy:
The proposed warehouse development is within Springfield's adopted Drinking Water Protection
Area. The property overlies portions of the 10 - 20 year time-of-travel (TOT) zones to the 16th
& Q Street Well. (The site is not outside the 10- 20 year TOTZ as stated in Section B of the site
plan narrative.) 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.
GENERAL CONSTRUCTION:
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 andfueling: 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.

OPERATIONS:
If a trash enclosure is added to the site, it must be covered and drain to the sanitary sewer.
If applicable, rooftop mounted equipment and other fluid-containing equipment located outside
the building should be sealed and provided with secondary containment. In the event of a spill or
leak, this will prevent any fluids from migrating into the storm water drainage system. If
applicable, chemicals stored outdoors (fertilizers, pesticides, etc.) should be covered and placed
in secondary containment.
Tenants will be required to comply with all standards set forth in Section 3.3-200 of the
Springfield Development Code, which may include completing a City of Springfield Drinking
Water Protection Application. All lease agreements should include language requiring
compliance with Section 3.3-200 Drinking Water Protection (DWP) Overlay District of the
Springfield Development Code.
STORM WATER:
Storm water basins should be equipped with hydrocarbon- filtering media.
Because storm water recharges the aquifer, SUB requests that wellhead protection signs be
placed at the site temporarily during construction and permanently in the east and west parking
lots to alert contractors, subcontractors, employees, and others to the importance ofreporting 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,
~c.~
