Current through September 16, 2024

1. In addition to any other information required to be included pursuant to NAC 459.95345 to 459.953475, inclusive, an application for a permit to construct a new process must include:

(a) A site plan, drawn to scale, that identifies the location within the facility of the new process on a map. A site plan must include and indicate, without limitation:
(1) The city and county roads in the area of the facility of the new process.

(2) The area encompassing the endpoint of the worst-case release scenarios developed pursuant to NAC 459.95366 or the area encompassing an area extending 1 mile radially from the facility, whichever is larger.

(3) A graphical delineation of the endpoints of each worst-case release scenario and alternative release scenario developed pursuant to NAC 459.95366 and 459.95368.

(4) All major roads and transportation corridors.

(5) Routes for incoming and outgoing raw materials and products.

(6) The location of the first responding fire station and the hazardous materials response station. If the first responding fire station or hazardous materials response station is located outside the plan area, the site plan must include the address of the station and indicate the distance and direction that the station is from the facility.

(7) The location of schools, hospitals and other public receptors within the plan area.

(b) Plot plans of the project area, shown on separate drawings and drawn to scale, that show:
(1) The safety systems, including, without limitation, the locations of:
(I) Water and tankages for other materials associated with the fire suppression systems.

(II) The system pumps and the routing of the distribution piping.

(III) Hydrants, monitors and other similar fire suppression equipment.

(IV) The detectors of toxic and combustible gases and flames.

(V) Personal protective equipment.

(VI) Major process equipment.

(2) The location of the electrical hazardous areas. The plot plan must:
(I) Provide the necessary elevations and include detailed drawings to distinguish between electrically unclassified and electrically classified areas, as those terms are defined in Article 500 of the N.F.P.A. 70, the National Electrical Code, adopted by reference pursuant to NAC 459.95528; and

(II) Denote the nationally recognized code or standard upon which the drawing is based to determine the extent of the electrically classified areas.

(c) Process flow diagrams, shown on as many drawings as necessary, developed pursuant to NAC 459.95412. The process flow diagrams must correspond to the material and energy balance submitted pursuant to NAC 459.953455.

(d) Piping and instruments diagrams, shown on as many drawings as necessary, developed pursuant to NAC 459.95412. The piping and instrument diagrams must:
(1) Be submitted on paper that is 11 inches by 17 inches.

(2) Be on an easily legible scale.

(3) Cover the new process. The Division may request that the diagrams include any associated systems, including, without limitation, air, water, nitrogen and process drain systems, if the Division determines that the inclusion of the additional information is necessary to assist with the review of the process hazard analysis.

(4) Indicate all piping, equipment, instruments and controls.

(5) Correspond to:
(I) The process flow diagrams;

(II) The documentation concerning the control logic and the process hazard analysis submitted pursuant to NAC 459.953455; and

(III) The specifications submitted pursuant to NAC 459.953459.

(e) Drawings indicating the concrete foundations and structures related to the new process that are not subject to the review and approval of the local building official. These drawings must include and indicate:
(1) The preparation for the base and subbase, including, without limitation, compaction requirements;

(2) The requirements relating to forms, reinforcing bars and appurtenances;

(3) The specifications relating to concrete and grout;

(4) The requirements for testing and inspection; and

(5) The applicable codes, standards or industry recommended practices governing the design and construction to be used.

(f) Drawings for the structural steel support for the equipment and piping related to the new process that are not subject to the review and approval of the local building official. These drawings must include and indicate:
(1) Specifications for the steel and bolting;

(2) Requirements for welding, testing and inspection; and

(3) The applicable codes, standards or industry recommended practices governing the design and construction to be used.

2. A drawing included pursuant to this section in an application for a permit to construct must indicate the current revision number and date of the drawing and be of sufficient quality so that a legible copy can be made of the drawing. If a drawing is drawn to scale, the scale must be indicated and a bar scale must be included.
