Call to Order. 2. Introduction of Attendees. Update of Committee Roster. [Attachment A1] 3. Approval of Minutes of Last Meeting. (November 2013 Web Conference.) [Attachment A2] 4. Report of Committee Chair. 5. Report of Staff Liaison. Correlating Committee Membership. [Attachment A3] Annual 2017 Document Revision Schedule. [Attachment A4] 6. Member Reports on Current Issues. 7. Review and Correlating Action on Second Revisions to NFPA 30. Because Second Revision 210 failed ballot, all related Second Revisions that passed ballot must be reversed (i.e., resolved by rejecting). These include Second Revisions s 212, 202, 203, 204, 211, and 206. Public Comment 5 (proposed addition of ASTM E 1529 to A ) was rejected. However, Second Revision 3 added this same reference to Annex I. Since the source reference was not added to Annex A it must be deleted from Annex I. The action on Public Comment 30 was to reject the addition of UL 142A to the body of the code, because it is an Outline of Investigation (OI) and not a full Standard. However, Second Revision 101 added UL 2152, which is also an OI, to the body of the code. These actions contradict each other and must be resolved to be consistent, one way or the other. [See Attachment A5 for the items in question, in order of discussion.] [Attachment A6 is a complete set of Second Revisions.] 8. Recent Correspondence. [NONE] 9. Other Old Business. [NONE] 10.

6 2. Attendees introduced themselves. The Correlating Committee roster was corrected as needed. An updated roster will be posted on the Correlating Committee s web page. 3. The Minutes of the previous meeting were unanimously approved as issued. 4. The Correlating Committee Chair had nothing to report. 5. The Staff Liaison reported on the following: Committee Scope Statements. The Correlating Committee agreed to the need for revised scopes that accurately reflects the various committee responsibilities. The Staff Liaison was directed to develop a set of revised scope statements for the review. Membership Status. The Staff Liaison reported on recent changes to committee membership and on the balance of interests on the committees. At this time, there is no balance issue. Document Revision Schedule for NFPA The Staff Liaison reviewed the Annual 2014 revision schedule for the 2015 edition of NFPA There were no reports on current issues. 7. Review Technical Committee Second Draft Ballot Reports. [NOTE: The Second Draft Report of the T/C on Fundamentals was unanimously affirmative. There was no Second Draft Report of the T/C on Storage & Warehousing of Containers & Portable Tanks.] The Correlating Committee reviewed the Second Draft report of the NFPA 30 Technical Committee on Operations, specifically Second Revisions SR-3, SR-6, and SR-7. The Correlating Committee took the actions described as follows: SR-3 / & / Negative Vote Ordile: The Correlating Committee created a Second Revision to make these Paragraphs an annex item to , because the referenced documents contain unenforceable language. SR-6 / / Affirmative Comment Wechsler: The Correlating Committee determined that the comment presented technical issues that were not within the purview of the Correlating Committee; therefore, no action was taken. The issue should be revisited next cycle. SR-7 / / 19.7 / Affirmative Comment Wechsler: The Correlating Committee determined that the issue was fully considered by the Technical Committee and agreed that listing incorporates temperature limitations; therefore, no action taken. The Correlating Committee reviewed the Second Draft report of the NFPA 30 Technical Committee on Tank Storage and Piping Systems, specifically Second Revisions SR-14, SR-15, SR-16, and SR-17. The Correlating Committee took the actions described as follows: SR-14 / / Affirmative Comment Geyer: The Correlating Committee determined this is just clarification; therefore, no action was taken. SR-16 / / Affirmative Comments Geyer & Wechsler & Negative Curran: The Correlating Committee determined that the issues raised were technical and not within the purview of the Correlating Committee; therefore, no action was taken. See Agenda Item 8 below for details. SR-17 / / Negative Cignatta: The Correlating Committee that the issues raised were technical and not within the purview of the Correlating Committee; therefore, no action was taken. See Agenda Item 8 below for details. SR-15 / A / Affirmative Comment Rocco: The Correlating Committee determined that the issue raised was technical and not within the purview of the Correlating Committee; therefore, no action was taken. FLCAAC Minutes.doc

7 8. Review of Potential Complaint to Standards Council on Second Revisions Nos. SR-16 and SR-17. The Correlating Committee discussed the complaint involving SR-16 & SR-17. The committee noted that the complaint was actually submitted outside the valid time frame and therefore should be resubmitted during the time frame for submitting a Notice of Intent to Make a Motion ( January 1, 2014 to February 7, Mr. Curran (proponent) presented justification for change, but change would be of substantive nature and, therefore no action can be taken by the Correlating Committee. At the Correlating Committee Chair s direction, the Staff Liaison had prepared a timeline of the text in question, which has remained almost unchanged since 1966 edition. Proposed changes via SR-16 and SR-17 do not amend the text, but do move the definition to a more appropriate place in Chapter 27 of NFPA 30 and do set stricter requirements for piping in diked areas and impoundments. Given the technical nature of the changes, the Correlating Committee suggested this be handled during the next document revision cycle, with the inclusion of technical data to justify handling glass fiber-reinforced plastic piping and thermoplastic piping differently. 9. There was no correspondence requiring the Technical Committee s attention. 10. There was no old business requiring the Technical Committee s attention. 11. The Technical Committee discussed the following new business items: Next Revision Cycle for NFPA 30. The Correlating Committee discussed planning for the next document revision cycle for NFPA The Technical Committee deferred action on scheduling future meetings. 13. The meeting adjourned at 1:30 PM.

Cosey, William V. F. Fitzgerald, Keric M. Negative with Comment Apostoluk, Peter R. I agree with John LeBlanc. De Taeye, Claire V. I agree with John LeBlanc's comments. Havens, Dwight H. I have reviewed and agree with the concerns raised by Mr. LeBlanc. Hicks, Donald B. I agree with John Leblanc s comments. Kirby, David C. After reviewing John Leblanc's comments, they confirm my thoughts from the Meeting - that the tests were not conservative enough to meet worst credible case. I believe that there should at least be a safety factor. Unfortunately, I am not qualified to recommend a safety factor. Kraus, Richard S. agree with Mr LeBlanc comment Kulpit, Jonathan This protection scheme for unlimited storage height was extrapolated from one fire test which does not represent a reasonable worst case scenario of what the protection scheme aims to protect. That fire test did not address the possibility that a spill fire originating at the top and spilling down the face of a storage arrangement greater than four barrier levels tall may open more than the seven sprinklers (three at the top level and two on each of the next two lower levels) required to be calculated and / or involve ceiling sprinklers which are not required to be calculated. The protection scheme should not permit unlimited height without requiring hydraulic consideration of all sprinkler levels or proving with multiple fire tests that the number of sprinkler levels involved is independent of the height of the arrangement / number of barrier levels below the spill fire level of origin. LeBlanc, John A. The testing that was done used a ~34 ft high rack (4 tiers of filled drums, 3 tiers of empty drums) in a 48 ft high building. Actual filled drums were only used in the lower 4 tiers of the rack. The spill location was located at the bottom

12 3 of 4 10/18/ :44 AM of the third tier instead of at the bottom of the highest stored drum. Two barrier/in-rack levels were provided. No ceiling sprinklers were provided. I believe the testing has clearly shown that this in-rack arrangement will meet the goal of keeping steel drums cool when they are exposed to a spill fire, however, the next critical element, the sprinkler system design, was not validated to support unlimited storage heights and roof heights. When using large orifice, quick response sprinklers at the ceiling or as in-racks it is critical to design the sprinkler system for an adequate number of sprinklers to conserve the water supply. Past full scale fire tests by FM Global with barriers installed in racks has shown that a spill down the face of an array will operate a large number of quick response in-rack sprinklers at every barrier level. Extrapolating the test results beyond the building height and storage height tested ignores this potential. Also, if the spill was initiated at the bottom of the top level of storage, there would have been a possibility of ceiling sprinkler involvement if ceiling sprinklers were installed. Since this protection option involves the use of K 25.2 sprinklers flowing 138 gpm each, operating more sprinklers than were included in the design can quickly overtax a water supply. The bottom line is this testing does not support extrapolating the results to unlimited storage heights when large containers are being stored. Ordile, Anthony M. I am concerned about this proposed Table and Scheme being developed on a single fire test. The TC has previously developed the protection criteria Tables based on redundant large-scale fire tests. My concern about basing this on a single test is emphasized by the fact that the in-rack sprinklers operated at 6 seconds after ignition. Perhaps a second test altering the location of the spill and ignition would yield different results that could have resulted in a delay of sprinkler operation that may have also caused some drums of product to be more involved and more than 2 rack sprinklers to operate. I also have concern over the unlimited storage height involving drums, especially when standard lift trucks are involved. The unlimited ceiling height is a concern with larger containers should the spill incident occur in an aisle or staging area. Riegel, Roland A. A single test is not sufficient. There is a need for additional testing that would substantiate unlimited storage heights for drums. Additional test scenarios should evaluate if an alternate ignition source / location and subsequent fire propagation would bypass the rack sprinkler systems and operate ceiling sprinklers. Wechsler, David B. After having reviewed the committee actions, the original submittal and the response from John Leblanc on SR210- I find the complete actions on all these related changes ill advised and We should not advocate an unlimited conditions. Again as my common voting comment: The proposed Scheme E is linked to the justification provided in Public Comment No. 52, which was associated with the test results of a single fire test conducted at UL. The protection recommendations are based on a single spill scenario and a single ignition source location. The two sprinklers that operated during the test both activated at 6 seconds after ignition, which leads to questions of whether a more delayed or relocated ignition or spill location, perhaps to a higher location in the rack structure, might have produced unsatisfactory results. It is unprecedented to base the entire protection scheme for an unlimited area, unlimited storage quantity of drums of Class II liquids on a worst case scenario of operating 3 in-rack sprinklers, particularly when that basis represents a single fire test and contemplates only a single additional operating sprinkler beyond the two that operated in the cited test as the factor of safety. Willse, Peter J. After reviewing John Leblanc's comments, I vote negative. Workman, Martin H. The fire test provided showed an exceptional fast operation of the sprinkler within the rack. This occurred because the fuel was ignited upon fuel release. In the past, fuel was allowed to discharge from the container prior to igniting the fuel, which would have created a spill fire and would have had slower sprinkler operation and in the long term would have activated more sprinklers within the rack area. I don't think the sprinkler operation would be realistic in a true scenario. I think the committee should reconsider this testing and ask the submitter to modify the testing scenario.

Wright, Scott Wypychoski, Kevin M. de Nooij, Tom Abstention Ozog, Nicholas Changes to this section should be based in research and testing. However, there is concern that existing industrial storage arrangements will be invalidated due to a vacuum in the current testing. How can the code provide additional options for those facilities?

The protection recommendations are based on a single spill scenario and a single ignition source location. The two sprinklers that operated during the test both activated at 6 seconds after ignition, which leads to questions of whether a more delayed or relocated ignition or spill location, perhaps to a higher location in the rack structure, might have produced unsatisfactory results.

27 3 of 7 10/18/ :48 AM Sprinklers and horizontal barriers shall be installed in accordance with Figure (a) or Figure (b), whichever is applicable. Horizontal barriers shall be of plywood having a minimum thickness of 3 8 in. (10 mm) or of sheet metal of minimum 22 gauge thickness. All liquid storage shall be located beneath a barrier. Figure (a) Single-Row Rack Sprinkler Layout for Design Scheme "E." Figure (b) Double-Row Rack Sprinkler Layout for Design Scheme "E."

28 4 of 7 10/18/ :48 AM Vertical baffles shall not be installed between in-rack sprinklers In-rack sprinklers shall meet the following requirements: (1) In-rack sprinklers shall be intermediate temperature rated, pendent sprinklers with a nominal K-factor of 25.2 and shall be listed as extended coverage control mode density/area storage sprinklers. (2) In-rack sprinklers shall be positioned in a transverse flue below each barrier level. (3) In-rack sprinklers shall not be positioned within 3.5 ft (1 m) of a rack upright. (4) The minimum in-rack sprinkler discharge pressure shall not be less than a gauge pressure of 30 psi (207 kpa). (5) Where one level of in-rack sprinklers is installed, the design shall include the 3 most hydraulically remote sprinklers on a single line. (6) Where two levels of in-rack sprinklers are installed, the design shall include the 3 most hydraulically remote sprinklers on a single line, and the 2 most hydraulically remote sprinklers on the next adjacent level. (7) Where three or more levels of in-rack sprinklers are installed, the design shall include the 3 most hydraulically remote sprinklers on a single line, and the 2 most hydraulically remote sprinklers on the next two adjacent levels. (8) Foam-water sprinkler protection shall be permitted to be substituted for water sprinkler protection, provided the same design criteria is used, and that the sprinkler is listed for use with foam If there are adjacent bays of in-rack arrays that are not dedicated to storage of liquids, the barrier and in-rack sprinkler protection shall be extended at least 6 ft (1.8 m) beyond the area devoted to liquid storage.

29 5 of 7 10/18/ :48 AM Ceiling sprinkler demand shall not be included in the hydraulic calculations for in-rack sprinklers Water demand at point of supply shall be calculated separately for in-rack and ceiling sprinklers and shall be based on the greater demand Ceiling sprinklers shall meet the following requirements: (1) Ceiling sprinkler protection shall be designed to protect the surrounding occupancy. (2) Any sprinkler type shall be acceptable. (3) If standard spray sprinklers are used, they shall be capable of providing not less than 0.30 gpm/ft 2 over 3000 ft 2 (8 mm/min over 270 m 2 ) when supplied with water. Design area can be reduced to 2000 ft 2 when using a preprimed foam-water system installed in accordance with NFPA 16 and maintained in accordance with NFPA 25. (4) If the liquid storage does not extend to the full height of the rack, protection for commodities stored above the top horizontal barrier shall meet the requirements of NFPA 13 for the commodities stored, based on the full height of the rack A 500 gpm (1900 L/min) hose stream allowance shall be provided.

31 7 of 7 10/18/ :48 AM Workman, Martin H. agree with committee Negative with Comment Havens, Dwight H. Based on my revised vote on SR-210, this revision is no longer needed. Hicks, Donald B. I agree with Wechsler's comments. Lentz, Thomas S. The time heads operated from the ignition of the fire test. Did not simulate a worse case scenario of possible obstructions or other delays Ordile, Anthony M. SAME RESPONSE AS SR I am concerned about this proposed Table and Scheme being developed on a single fire test. The TC has previously developed the protection criteria Tables based on redundant large-scale fire tests. My concern about basing this on a single fire test is emphasized by the fact that the in-rack sprinklers operated at 6 seconds after ignition. Perhaps a second test altering the location of the spill and ignition would yield different results that could have resulted in a delay of sprinkler operation that may have also caused some drums of product to be involved and more than 2 rack sprinklers to operate. I also have concern over the unlimited storage height with larger containers especially when standard lift trucks are involved. The unlimited ceiling height is a concern with larger containers should the spill incident occur in an aisle or staging area. Seuss, Jr., George A. I agree with John Leblanc's reasoning for why this resolution should not pass. Further, I am not comfortable with using only 3 in-rack sprinkler heads as the design basis. Wechsler, David B. After having reviewed the committee actions, the original submittal and the response from John Leblanc on SR210- I find the complete actions on all these related changes ill advised and We should not advocate an unlimited conditions. Again as my common voting comment: The proposed Scheme E is linked to the justification provided in Public Comment No. 52, which was associated with the test results of a single fire test conducted at UL. The protection recommendations are based on a single spill scenario and a single ignition source location. The two sprinklers that operated during the test both activated at 6 seconds after ignition, which leads to questions of whether a more delayed or relocated ignition or spill location, perhaps to a higher location in the rack structure, might have produced unsatisfactory results. It is unprecedented to base the entire protection scheme for an unlimited area, unlimited storage quantity of drums of Class II liquids on a worst case scenario of operating 3 in-rack sprinklers, particularly when that basis represents a single fire test and contemplates only a single additional operating sprinkler beyond the two that operated in the cited test as the factor of safety.
