Intent 1:
To supersede the requirements of Sentence 4.8.3.1.(1) and permit storage tanks to be located in buildings
on piers and wharves, if certain conditions are met [the piers or
wharves are of solid-fill or noncombustible construction, and the
tank installation conforms to Subsections 4.3.13. to 4.3.15.].
This is to limit the probability that:
- the substructure or deck will fail under normal or fire
conditions, which could lead to failure of the storage tank or associated
piping, which could lead to the escape of liquid, which could lead
to harm to the public, and
- there will be an unwanted release of liquid from the
storage tanks, which could lead to harm to the public.
