NOTE - THE NOTED DISAPPROVED ITEMS MAY NOT CONSTITUTE A COMPLETE LIST OF VIOLATIONS. THE DESIGNER IS TO CONDUCT A COMPLETE RE-REVIEW OF THE PLANS FOR ADDITIONAL VIOLATIONS OF THE STANDARD COMMENTS AND INCORRECT INFORMATION PRIOR TO RESUBMITTING. System plans must be picked up within 30 days. All system plans left longer than 30 days will be discarded as abandoned.

Attention | REVIEW COUNT: This is the 2ND review of these plans. Latest date shown on plans reviewed: 10/30/09
Plans are RECOMMENDED for APPROVAL pending APPLICATION FOR TANK INSTALLATION PERMIT.
1) A narrative response dated October 20, 2009 was received with the plan resubmittal which also provided corrections on plan sheet E 603 for the generator/base tank. See Scanned documents for tank narrative.
The diesel tank is 400 gallon, subbase self contained factory installed component of the emergency generator. The batteries for the generator, alarm system and sliding doors contain a total 5 gallons of electrolyte. This amount is less than the Hazardous Materials permit amount and less than the amounts for corrosives listed in Chapter 27, per control area.
All plan comments and requirements listed were noted on plan sheet E 603 and reported that contractor will be in compliance with fire department requirements. It was noted that contractor is required to apply for tank permit prior to installation of the tank.
The location of the tank and the enclosure wall (CMU) appears to comply with the requirements based on location, enclosure design and potential for vehicle impact. This feature appears as a courtyard type of enclosure.
2) Verbal correspondence with Mr. Dwight Miller, project manager re: HM comments. See HM comments.
3) REMINDER: Contractor shall apply for tank installation permit and submit to the CSFD.
4) The fuel tank and electrolyte below permit quantities associated with the Generator are exempt from the annual operational permit. No annual permit required. |
