(A) Prior to the issuance of any excavation permit for the construction or installation of any pipeline for the transmission of flammable liquids or gases, which are heavier than air, approval shall be obtained from the Fire Chief. Such approval shall be based on the determination that no undue fire hazard will be created to life or property in the areas through which the proposed pipeline will be located. To make such determination, consideration shall be given to:
(1) Type of commodity to be transmitted.
(2) Density of population or structural development in the area through which such pipeline will be located.
(3) Adequacy of water supplies for fire control purposes.
(4) Extent of available public fire protection facilities.
(5) Number and location of shutoff valves in pipeline.
(B) Such review and approval shall be confined only to that pipeline or portion of a pipeline for which such excavation permit has been applied.
