What prevents hydrogen sulfide gas from entering the storage areas?
Hydrogen sulfide is heavier than air. If present, it will remain at the bottom of the sealed sumps below the floor of the mechanical room at the lowest cavern level. The room has elaborate sensing, control and exhaust systems. Air quality monitoring has shown no detectable levels of hydrogen sulfide anywhere in the storage buildings.
