Section 272-9-006 - Location of Storage Facilities
Current through March 20, 2024
006.01 Except as otherwise provided in these regulations, storage facilities in which any explosive materials are stored shall be located at minimum distances from inhabited buildings, passenger railways, public highways, and from other storage facilities in which explosive materials are stored as specified in the American Table of Distances, (see Appendix V), provided that this table shall not apply to any indoor storage facility. When a storage facility is not barricaded, the distances shown in the American Table of Distances shall be doubled. For purposes of this paragraph, a storage facility shall be deemed barricaded when it is effectually screened from inhabited buildings, passenger railways, public highways, and other storage facilities in which explosive materials are stored-either by a natural or artificial barricade of such height that a straight line from the top of any sidewall of the storage facility to the eave line of such other inhabited building or storage facility, or to a point 12 feet above the center of a passenger railway or public highway, will pass through such intervening barricade.
006.02 If any two or more storage facilities are separated from each other by less than the distances specified in the American Table of Distances, Appendix V, then such two or more storage facilities, as a group, shall be considered as one storage facility, and the total quantity of explosive material stored in such group shall be treated as if stored in a single facility and shall comply with the minimum of distances specified in the American Table of Distances, from other storage facilities, inhabited buildings, passenger railways, and public highways.
006.03 Storage facilities in which low explosives are stored shall be located at minimum distances from inhabited buildings, passenger railways, public highways, and from other storage facilities in which explosive materials are stored as specified in the American Table of Distances for Storage of Low Explosives, Appendix VI. Provided, that this table shall not apply to any indoor storage facility. The distances shown therein shall not be reduced by the presence of barricades.
006.04 Ammonium nitrate and storage facilities in which blasting agents are stored shall be located at minimum distances from storage facilities containing high explosives or blasting agents as specified in the Table of Recommended Separation Distances of Ammonium Nitrate and Blasting Agents from Explosives or Blasting Agents, Appendix VII.
