Dear Andy:
The proposed car lot development is within Springfield's adopted Drinking Water
Protection Area. The property overlies portions of the 20-year time-of-travel (TOT) zone to
the Maia Well. 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
cont:amiilati'on,
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 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 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:
Because storm water recharges the aquifer, SUB requests that wellhead protection signs be
placed temporarily at the constructipn site and permanently during operations near the
building entrance and at the trash enclosure 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$15jsign.
Feel free to contact me at 541-744-3745 for further details or with any questions.
Sincerely,
