Which manual must be completed in addition to the Fire Safety Analysis when the aggregate water capacity is 4,000 gallons or greater?

• A. Fire Safety Analysis
• B. Site Plan and Permit
• C. Operation and Maintenance Procedure Manual
• D. Emergency Response Plan

Answer: (C)

Ongoing safe operation of a large propane storage system requires documenting how the equipment will be operated and kept in a safe condition. When the aggregate water capacity reaches 4,000 gallons or greater, the required supplemental document is the Operation and Maintenance Procedure Manual. This manual lays out normal operating procedures, inspection and maintenance schedules, testing, handling of abnormal conditions, corrective actions, and responsibilities. It ensures that the safety measures identified in the Fire Safety Analysis are actually implemented and maintained over time. A Site Plan and Permit deals with site design and approvals, not the ongoing operating procedures. An Emergency Response Plan focuses on actions during incidents, which is important but not the specific manual specified here.
