Dear Andy:
The proposed birth center 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 -5 year time-of-travel (TOT) zone to the Sports Way
Well. It is important to note that DNAPL chemicals are prohibited at this sensitive 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. 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.
OPERATIONS:
Rooftop mounted equipment and, if applicable, other fluid-containing equipment located outside
the building should be sealed and provided with secondary containment or a weather resistant
enclosure. 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.
STORM WATER:
Soils lining the soakage trench may need to be amended with clay or outfitted with another means
of reducing the permeability. These plans need to be approved by the City of Springfield in
regard to achieving acceptable infiltration in the Gateway area.
Because storm water recharges the aquifer, SUB requests that wellhead protection signs be placed
at the site temporarily during construction and permanently adjacent to the trash enclosure and
.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,
~'~
