Subject: Oil Tank shed and site Storage Building
David and Myk,
Thanks for speaking with me last week about the oil tank shed and storage building that is being proposed at the Rifle
Bayou Well Service Facility. As we spoke, more information is needed for me to complete my review. Although we went
over my questions, I thought it best to put them down in writing so the project can move forward . My comments are:
• What is the size of the tanks?
• What type of "oils" are they going to contain per the fire code classifications?
• MSDS sheets will be required.
• The fire district has a hazardous materials declaration packet that has been given to your company for this site
when you expanded your building. It appears that now would be a good time to complete this which should
include the proposed oil tanks and any other hazardous materials that will be stored in the proposed storage
building. If you think this might delay this project to long, I would be willing to just have the information for the
shed and storage building submitted. It is important to fully complete this packet at some time in the near
future.
• How are the "empty'' containers going to be stored? My experience has shown that most empty containers are
not empty and that storage and containment would be appropriate.
• Placarding will be required per NFPA 704.

• Containment: more information or direction is needed on what type of containment will be in place. Is the tanks
doubled walled so the containment is built in, is there built in containment on the concrete pads ... ?
• Storage shed may not be adequately design to store flammable liquids. As noted above, more information is
needed on what you will store but if vapors can collect under the eaves or within the walls of the shed, a re-
design may be appropriate.
I know you are working on some or all of the above items, and I look forward to completing the plan review for this
project. Please let me know if you have any questions.
