Draft tightens fuel-storage, containment and fire-protection expectations for industrial sites
Summary
Staff summarized new code language to require secondary containment, corrosion protection and site-specific fire protection measures for fuel storage and related materials, and said inspection and repair schedules will be part of final plans.
Staff described requirements for fuel storage setbacks, secondary containment and corrosion protections in the draft to reduce risks from spills and equipment failure. "Secondary containment for construct the for these to have materials," Speaker 2 said when listing safeguards that should be required in the final package.
The group discussed tying those protections to inspection and maintenance schedules (three years for wall/containment repairs was referenced) and to site-specific fire-detection and shut-off procedures. Staff said final plans will identify containment locations, access controls and security measures and that those specifications will be included before approvals proceed.
