SECTION 200.70 APPLICATIONS, PLANS AND BLUEPRINTS; FENCING STANDARDS
Section 200.70 Applications,
Plans and Blueprints; Fencing Standards
Applications for approval of
installations shall be made out in triplicate on blanks furnished by OSFM and
shall be accompanied by drawings or blueprints in triplicate made to scale, with
all dimensions indicated on the plans. These applications, drawings or
blueprints must be approved by OSFM before any new construction or addition is
undertaken. Approval will be granted if all requirements of this Part are
met. Drawings or blueprints shall bear the name of the person, firm or
corporation proposing the installation. In addition, drawings or blueprints
shall show the following:
a) The plot of ground to be utilized and its immediate
surroundings on all sides, the complete layout of the tanks, the capacity of
each tank, the type of tank supports, type of construction of each building and
all clearances as required by NFPA 58 (see Section 200.10).
b) The location with respect to city, village or incorporated
town, naming adjacent railroads and side tracks and showing the clearance
between tanks and closest passenger train tracks, between tracks at the point
where the tank car will be placed for unloading and the nearest passenger train
tracks, and between unloading docks and closest passenger train tracks.
c) Whether the surrounding area is congested or heavily
populated.
d) Fencing and enclosures.
1) The method and location of fencing or other devices used to
protect the LP-Gas container against collision and tampering, as specified in
NFPA 58. Facilities existing on January 1, 1984 shall comply with this Part or
the rules in existence at the time of construction. Where LP-Gas containers
are located at an establishment completely enclosed by fencing equivalent to
that required by NFPA 58, an additional enclosure for containers installed
within the fencing shall not be required, except that, if containers are
accessible to vehicular traffic, the containers shall be enclosed or encircled
by a guard rail, or by posts 6 inches or more in diameter set in firm ground to
a depth of at least 24 inches and rising aboveground to a height of 30 inches
or more set at intervals of not more than 6 feet.
2) Walls of buildings that are part of the establishment and have
adjacent fencing to enclose the facilities shall be acceptable as a portion of
any necessary fencing. There shall be no gap or opening between the building
wall and the adjacent fencing. Walls of buildings shall not form more than two
sides of enclosures for LP-Gas containers. Required means of egress from
buildings shall not pass through enclosures for LP-Gas. When building walls
are used as part of enclosures, the separation distance from the LP-Gas
container to the building shall comply with NFPA 58.
e) The location and type of lights conforming to NFPA 58 to
illuminate storage containers, control valves and other equipment, if loading
or unloading is normally done during other than daylight hours.
f) The location of any container filling or LP-Gas dispensing
devices.
