1. Storage of flammable liquids inside the buildings of the KCP must comply with NFPA 30 and the requirements listed below. Flammable Liquid Storage Cabinet Location Guidelines, Flammable liquid cabinet placement shall reflect the following:

a) Boundary areas a minimum of 5 feet from the edge of each side and 3 feet from top of the opening of the cabinet and free of ordinary combustibles. b) NOTE: Walls may reduce the dimensions on the sides and top of the cabinet

by altering the flammable liquid vapor path to travel. Vapor travel distance to ignition source shall not be less than noted above.

c) A maximum of three (3) flammable liquid storage cabinets adjacent to each other (the boundary is applicable to the ends of the outer 2 cabinets and the fronts and backs of the cabinets).

d) A minimum of 100 feet separation between groups of cabinets within the same fire area.

e) NOTE: Flammable liquid storage rooms are exempted from the total cabinet limit, and are limited by design capacity requirements.

f) The maximum number of cabinets within a 2-hour fire rated area shall not exceed a storage capacity of 600 gallons, unless additional minimum 1-hour fire rated separation is provided.

g) Be separated by a noncombustible wall or located 5 feet or more from any aisle that is used for emergency egress unless written approval is given by Fire Protection Department. A copy of the written approval shall be

conspicuously displayed on the cabinet or within the boundaries for the cabinet.

h) Be easily accessible for firefighting operations.

i) Provide a minimum of a 40B:C rated portable fire extinguisher located within 30 feet of the storage area.

2. Flammable Liquid Storage Cabinet Storage guidelines:

a) Store only closed containers one tier high per shelf within the cabinet, not to exceed 15 gallons per shelf.

b) Store quantities less than or equal to the rating / listing of the cabinet. c) Store all flammable liquids within the cabinet [(hazard of 3 or 4 in the fire

quadrant of the NFPA diamond or HMIS square (MSDS) material storage class (A)].

d) Combustible liquids may be, but are not required to be stored within the cabinet [(rated hazard of 1 or 2 in the fire quadrant of the NFPA diamond or HMIS square (MSDS) material storage class (B)].

e) Combustible liquids shall not displace or supersede requirements for flammable liquids to be in the cabinet.

f) Flammable aerosols shall be stored in a flammable liquid cabinet.

g) Flammable liquids which are not used in daily operations shall be stored in approved containers within the cabinet, or shall be removed from the KCP. h) Combustible materials, such as empty cardboard boxes, paper, wood, tote

boxes, and rags shall not be stored in flammable liquids cabinets. i) NOTE: Special cases allowed in the cabinets are multi-part kits, large

quantities of small size containers (tubes of glue and collapsible containers). j) Store any flammable liquid not in use during the shift in an approved

flammable liquid cabinet. This includes aerosol spray cans, red plastic squeeze bottles, flammable liquid safety cans, and dip cans.

k) Do not store other materials in the cabinet. 3. Storage Outside of Buildings

Storage of flammable liquids outside of the buildings of the KCP must comply with NFPA 30 and the requirements listed below:

Container storage (five gallon containers and less) a) Containers must be:

(1) NRTL (UL/FM) approved metal Safety Cans

(2) Have self-closing (spring) lids and flash arrestor screens (3) Maximum sized container allowed is five gallons.

Quantity limited to amount needed for efficient operations (2-day supply) not to exceed 25 gallons (five 5-gallon containers). c) Storage location:

(1) No storage inside office trailers, material storage trailers, or on the roof.

(2) Maintain separation distances from important combustible buildings and or materials of not less than fifty (50) feet.

(3) Maintain separation distances from important noncombustible storage or solid masonry walls with no penetrations of not less than twenty-five (25) feet.

(4) Important buildings would be considered any NNSA-owned buildings, buildings with high value or mission critical functions, and buildings not owned or operated by/for the KCP. (Construction trailers would not be considered an important building.)

(5) Outside storage must be protected from weather, theft, and provide spill containment (i.e., a watertight, leak-proof job box or flammable liquid cabinet secured such that wind will not tip over the box/cabinet).

(6) Flammable cabinet or box shall be clearly labeled "Flammable - Keep Fire Away" and contain the NFPA Diamond label (Gasoline is 1- 3-0) on all four sides.

(7) Flammable/combustible liquids must be separated from flammable gas (LP, acetylene, etc.) and oxygen cylinders by at least 20 feet. (8) Storage location must not impede or present a danger to any building exit route, including exits from construction trailers.

(9) Area surrounding flammable storage areas shall be kept clear of all trash, debris, weeds, and other combustible material.

(10) Storage location must be easily accessible for fire fighting operations.

(11) Provide a minimum of a 40B:C portable fire extinguisher located within 30 feet of the storage area.

(12) Portable extinguisher shall be inspected and maintained per NFPA 10 Portable Fire Extinguishers.

(13) For outside storage in containers larger than 5 gallon (drums, portable tanks, etc.) containers or quantities exceeding 25 gallons, please contact KCP Fire Protection and Environmental Operations Departments for required guidance.

4. Using Flammable Liquids

a) Refueling operations shall be conducted outside in an area that is safe to dispense flammable liquids.
