(A) Detonable materials. Activities, involving the storage, utilization or manufacture of materials or products which decompose by detonation shall be in accordance with the following regulations.
(1) Such materials shall include but are not limited to: all primary explosives such as lead azide, lead styphnate, fulminates and tetracene; all high explosives such as TNT, RDX, HMX, PETN and picric acid; propellants and components thereof, such as dry nitrocellulose, black powder, boron hydrides, hyrazine and its derivatives; pyrotechnics and fireworks such as magnesium powder, potassium chloride and potassium nitrate; blasting explosives such as dynamite, nitroglycerine; unstable organic compounds such as acetylides, tetrazoles and ozonides, unstable oxidizing agents such as perchloric acid, perchlorates and hydrogen peroxide in concentrations greater than 35%; and nuclear fuels, fissionable materials and products, reactor elements such as Uranium 235 and Plutonium 239.
(2) The storage, utilization or manufacture of materials or products which decompose by detonation is limited to five pounds.
(B) Fire hazard solids. The storage, utilization or manufacture of solid materials which are active to intense burning shall be conducted within spaces having fire resistive construction of no less than two hours and protected with an automatic fire extinguishing system. Outdoor storage of such materials shall be no closer than 40 feet from lot lines.
(C) Fire hazard liquids and gases.
(1) The storage, utilization or manufacture of flammable liquids or gases which produce flammable or explosive vapors shall be permitted only in accordance with this section, exclusive of the storage of finished products in original sealed containers (55 gallons or less) which shall be unrestricted.
(2) (a) The total storage capacity of flammable liquids and gasses shall not exceed those quantities permitted in the following table.
