File Name 30A_Ralston_6.4.2.docx Description Approved Cover Sheet The wording in this section of the code makes it impossible to comply with. No leak detector installed on the discharge side of the pump provides an audible or visible alarm. Line leak detectors used on remote submersible pumps are not capable of sounding an audible or visible alarm, they use a pressure differential in the piping to either restrict the flow of product to the dispenser (mechanical line leak detectors) or shut off the flow of product (electronic line leak detectors).

Automatic sprinkler protection installed in accordance with the requirements of NFPA 13, Standard for the Installation of Sprinkler Systems, shall be provided in major repair garages, as herein defined, when any of the following conditions exist: (1) The building housing the major repair garage is two or more stories in height (1) levels, including basements, and any one of the floors exceeds 930 m 2 (10,000 ft 2 ) story (1) the aggregate area of all levels combined exceeds ft2. (2) The major repair garage is one (1) level and exceeds 1115 m 2 (12,000 ft 2 ). (2) The major repair garage is servicing vehicles parked in the basement of the building. Subsection 1 should clarify that the requirement applies to the entire building; the entire building does not have to be used as a repair garage to utilize this requirement. The current language of section 1 would allow a large area without sprinkler protection. (Example: 3 story building, 9,000 ft² per floor would not require sprinkler protection) Submitter Full Name: Doug Hohbein Organization: Northcentral Fire Code Develop Submittal Date: Tue Apr 02 21:54:45 EDT 2013

10 Page 10 of 13 Public Comment No. 5-NFPA 30A-2013 [ Section No ] Tanks that have top openings only shall be mounted and equipped as follows: (1) * Stationary tanks shall be mounted on concrete, steel, or masonry supports at least 150 mm (6 in.) in height so as to protect the bottom of the tank from corrosion due to contact with the ground and to maintain the tank in a stable position. (2) Movable tanks shall be equipped with attached metal legs that rest on shoes or runners designed so that the tank is supported in a stable position and so that the tank and its supports can be moved as a single unit. (3) Tanks shall be equipped with a tightly and permanently attached approved pumping device having an approved hose and nozzle. (4) Each component of dispensing systems for Class I liquids shall be listed. (5) The dispenser nozzle and hose shall be designed so they can be padlocked to the hanger to prevent tampering. (6) The pump discharge shall be equipped with an effective antisiphoning device, or the discharge hose shall be equipped with an approved self-closing nozzle. (7) Siphons or internal pressure discharge devices shall be prohibited. (8) Tanks shall have non-porous containment protection equal ½ of the total volume of the tank. Due to the lack of local enforcement on farms and remote areas, the requirement for capture of flammable liquids must be required to contain and prevent potential fires to humans, grass, equipment, buildings, and out structures that may be located adjacent to such tanks. Protection of the surrounding area and ground water from flammable liquids will increase overall safety.
