LOCATION OF STORAGE FACILITIES
Saf-C
1615.01 Distances and Barricades.
(a) Except as otherwise provided in this section,
storage facilities in which any explosive materials are stored shall be located
at minimum distances from inhabited buildings, passenger railways, public
highways, and from other storage facilities in which explosive materials are
stored as specified in Saf-C 1640, provided that this table shall not apply to
any indoor storage facility.
(b) When a storage facility is not barricaded,
the distances shown in the American Table of Distances, 1991 edition, shall be
doubled.
(c) For purposes of paragraph (b) above, a
storage facility shall be deemed barricaded when it is effectually screened, by
a natural or artificial barricade, from inhabited buildings, passenger
railways, public highways, and other storage facilities in which explosive
materials are stored. The natural or
artificial barricade shall be of such height that a straight line from the top
of any sidewall of the storage facility to the
eave line of such other inhabited building or
storage facility, or to a point 12 feet above the center of a passenger railway
or public highway, will pass through such intervening barricade.

(a) If any 2 or more storage facilities are
separated from each other by less than the distances specified in Saf-C 1640,
then those storage facilities, as a group, shall be considered as one storage
facility.
(b) The total quantity of explosive materials
stored in such a grouped facility shall be treated as if stored in a single
facility and shall comply with the minimum of distances from other storage
facilities, inhabited buildings, passenger railways, and public highways, as
set forth in Saf-C 1640.
