The facilities storage map shall indicate the location of each hazardous materials storage facility and access to such storage facilities. In addition, the map shall indicate the location of emergency equipment related to each storage facility, and the general purpose of the other areas within each facility.
For each storage facility, the map and associated identified storage area form shall contain information as prescribed below, except that where the hazardous material being stored is a trade secret, it shall be identified in a coded manner (and the key shall be provided separately) and not in a manner which would reveal trade secret information:
(1) A floor plan to scale and the permit quantity limit;
(2) An identified storage area form shall be provided for each location in which a hazard class or hazardous material exceeds those quantities specified in Section 17.20.020(a). Each such location shall be indicated on the facility map. For each nonwaste hazardous material which is stored in a quantity greater than the quantities specified in Section 17.20.020(a), the general chemical name, common/trade name, major constituents for mixtures, United Nations (UN) or North America (NA) number, if available, and physical state. For each waste hazardous material stored in any quantity within the storage facility, the presence of wastes shall also be indicated;
(3) For all hazardous materials, including wastes, stored in such identified storage area, the hazard class or classes and the quantity range for each such class, aggregated within each storage facility, in the following ranges:
Quantity Range Number | Range Amounts |
1 | Up to and including 500 pounds for solids, 55 gallons for liquids, and 200 cubic feet at STP for compressed gases, |
2 | Between 500 and 5,000 pounds for solids, 55 and 550 gallons for liquids, and 200 and 2,000 cubic feet at STP of compressed gases, |
3 | Between 5,000 and 25,000 pounds for solids, 550 to 2,750 gallons for liquids, and 2,000 to 10,000 cubic feet at STP for compressed gases, |
4 | Between 25,000 and 50,000 pounds for solids, 2,750 and 5,500 gallons for liquids, and 10,000 and 20,000 cubic feet at STP for compressed gases, |
5 | More than 50,000 pounds for solids, 5,500 gallons for liquids, and 20,000 cubic feet at STP for compressed gases; |
(4) For materials not regulated under this title, but regulated under the Uniform Fire Code, such as radioactives or cryogens, or for materials stored in storage facilities exempted by Section 17.52.040(a) and (b), the fire chief may require that the hazard class or classes and the quantity range of each such hazard class, using the quantity ranges listed in subsection (3) above, be provided;
(5) For hazardous materials which are water reactive, the map shall provide a code for their location;
(6) For tanks, the capacity limit of each tank, and the hazardous material contained in each tank by general chemical name, common/trade name, major constituents for mixtures, United Nations (UN) or North America (NA) number, if available, and physical state.
(7) Once permit quantity limits are established in accordance with Section 17.32.070, the fire chief may require the posting of such approved limits at each storage facility.
(d) Confidentiality of Facility Storage Map. Due to the threat to the security of the facility posed by the disclosure of the information in the facility storage map, this information shall be maintained by city for law enforcement purposes only and shall not be made public. Public disclosure of this information could endanger the security of the facility or present a clear danger to public health and safety. The city shall not disclose this information to the public without the consent of the permittee or permit applicant unless ordered to do so by a court of competent jurisdiction. Permittee or permit applicant shall be deemed a real party in interest in any such action. Prompt notice of a law suit to compel disclosure shall be given by city to permittee or permit applicant. However, city shall be under no duty to prevent disclosures where there has been any unauthorized discharge of hazardous materials stored in any storage facility shown on such map or where such disclosure arises out of any official emergency response relating to the storage facility.
(e) Annual Update. The facility storage map shall be updated annually or whenever an additional approval is required for the facility or whenever the hazardous materials inventory statement is required to be amended pursuant to Section 17.20.010.
(f) Hazardous Materials Inventory Statement. A hazardous materials inventory statement shall be filed in accordance with Chapter 17.20 .
(g) Separation of Materials. The HMMP shall contain a description of the methods to be utilized to ensure separation and protection of stored hazardous materials from factors which may cause a fire or explosion, or the production of a flammable, toxic, or poisonous gas, or the deterioration of the primary or secondary containment.
(h) Monitoring Program. The HMMP shall contain a description of the location, type, manufacturer specifications (if applicable), and suitability of monitoring methods to be used in each storage facility storing hazardous materials which are liquids or solids at STP. It shall also specify the frequency of inspections of storage facilities which will be conducted by the permittee.
