What are my options if the AHJ will not accept a proposed installation without water protection for the facility?
The background and training of some AHJs will make applying water or other suppression agents a priority to a propane facility. As the facility operator, you should be knowledgeable on the important aspects of product control and training, as reflected in the requirements of NFPA 58. Make an effort to contact the AHJ and utilize the information in the FSA manual to educate the AHJ on the overall importance of product control and the realistic product release scenarios that are portrayed in the manual. Contact NPGA if additional assistance is needed.
