And when you put water on the Haz Mat chemicals what do you end up with?
How is the resulting liquid Haz Mat going to be dealt with? Dykes,
underground tanks, just let it run into the storm drains, hope it
evaporates?

Subject: RE: Pesticides Storage
Ray,
First in order to do any kind of analysis you need MSDS on ALL of the
products to be stored, then you need to know what kind of conatiners, if
they are racked or palletized, how high and how much. Do you have a rack or
storage arrangement plan? I assume you already know the building
construction characteristics?
Don't assume that NFPA 30 will be the only place to look. Flammables and
combustible liquids will probably be the least of any commodity when it
comes to pesticides. Mostly you'll be dealing with toxics and highly toxics
which don't have a big impact on the fire protection systems in and of
themselves but they do have major impact on other systems which could in
turn affect your installation, such as ductwork (obstructions). Toxics are
addressed in the Building Code as far as allowable quantities in reference
to occupancy classifications. Most likely you will be dealing with an "H"
Occupancy.
