What is the minimum bulk propane storage capacity required for Class I permit holders?

The minimum bulk propane storage capacity required for Class I permit holders is 18,000 water gallons. This regulation is specified to ensure that facilities with a Class I permit have sufficient storage capacity to operate safely and efficiently, adhering to both safety standards and regulatory requirements.

Class I permits are typically associated with commercial and industrial operations that handle significant volumes of propane, necessitating a larger storage capacity to accommodate the demands of their operations while also maintaining safety measures. This capacity helps to mitigate risks associated with propane handling and storage, facilitating the implementation of safety protocols to protect both personnel and the environment.

In contrast, the other capacities listed do not align with the regulatory requirements for Class I permits, indicating that they either exceed or do not meet the minimum necessary for safe operation under this classification.
