Received letter from Mike Gray, Senior Mechanical Engineer for Process Technologies, as an Idaho licensed engineering, reviewing the exhaust requirements for the lab area to provide the 6 air changes per hour as noted in Sec. 1202 UBC. PTI is installing two fume exhaust hoods, not required by code because of the quantities of hazardous materials are within allowable limits, for the added safety to their lab technicians. The listed cabinets, also not required based on quantities, storing the chemicals are supporting the fume hoods and are vented into the exhaust hoods. An exhaust duct has been extended from the hood exhaust duct to the floor to provide required exhaust air requirements. Make up air is supplied from the adjacent assembly rooms plus the lab room to keep a positive air flow from the room across the floor and fume hood work surface so that air is always moving from the area and not into the room. When the fume hood is in use the exhaust air is shared at the hood and at the floor equalling 1710 cfm per the engineer & hood design data sheets. The minimum average CFM at the floor is said to be 990 CFM and the max at 1710 cfm. I have reviewed the details with Bob Garrison, my div. manager, and he agreed with me that the minimum basic code requirements appear to have been met or exceeded. The design was done under Mr. Gray's Idaho Engineering Stamp.

I let Marlene Southard read a copy of the condition for Process Tecnologies concerning issuance of a permit without the Alarm plans being submitted and approved at this time but to be submitted later. It is understood that the tenant cannot occupy or use this space until the plans are submitted, approved and installation complete of the required alarm system per the UBC & UFC. I discussed the permit and condition with Bob Archibald of Structural Div. He suggested that I include a stipulation that the plans need to be submitted and approved before framing inspection is called for. I explained to him that it appears, by comments amde by the contractor that the framing may already be done and that htey are wanting inspections so that they can cover and they need a building permit to do this. Bob understood that they would be proceeding at there own risk and would need to take the steps necessary to install the alarm system to meet code prior to occupancy even if it means redoing some areas already completed. Bob asked for a copy of the condition for Jim Storey, the structural inspector in the area of this project.

Received report from Winslow Partnership concerning hazardous materials quantities to be used at the tenant site. Quantities below those allowed by Tbl. 3-D & 3-E, 1994 UBC with increases for sprinkler protection. I also received a response from Gordon McDonald, architect, to other plan review comments. I am still waiting for new plans for the alarm system (audio & visual) for compliance with Sec. 1105.4.6 UBC & CABO/ANSI Sec. 4.26. A condition has been attached to the final occupancy and use of this tenant space. Subject to final receipt of alarm plans, approval thereof and completion per plans, at the project site this tenant space will not be used or occupied. drs I reviewed this condition with Bob Archibald, Structural Division, and Dave Miller, Fire Protection Engineer BFD, to make sure there would be know problems when requests for finals & occupancy were called for by the contractor if this item has not been resolved.

I suggested that a letter be sent with the signatures of all concerned partiew (owner, architect & contractor) explaining their request and how they propose to handle the establishment of the quantities to be stored and used such that a hazardous occupancy is not created.

Meeting with John Ferrell, Process Technologies; Randy Steed, Pres. of Steed Const.; David Kodanko, Project Manager, Steed Const.; Dave Miller, F.D.Fire Protection Engineer and myself Dan Stuart, Plan Checker, Bldg. Dept. This was an informal meeting with the hop[e of bringing myself upto speed on the proposals since I had just been assigned the project. A report had been submitted from Will Winslow of Winslow Partnership classifying the products to be incorporated at the business site for hazardous consideration. This list had been reviewed by Dave Miller previous to the meeting day and it was determined that an H7 Hazardous Occupancy would be located within the building. At the meeting we reviewed the need for an occupancy separation of 1-hour between the H7 Hazardous Occupancy & the other tenant areas. Mr. Winslow had stated that other hazardous chemicals proposed for use in the area designated as the Lab would be below allowed quantities or within approved storage cabinets with noncompatible substances also separated into cabinets. I told the gentleman present that since I had not reviewed the project to verify the information thus far provided and could not give them definite answers at this time. I would be as helpful as possible but they were to understand things could change once the review process stated. A question was asked concerning the requirements for a ventilation system in the H7 Occupancy area that had to run all the time. It was proposed that since the materials to be used in the H7 Area would involve larger particles that are corrosive irritants, that a dust collection type system be used in conjunction with a hood and that the work of assembling the dusty products be done under the hood. Dave Miller thought this seemed resonable and the final determination would be based on the submittal of the Mechanically Engineered exhaust system with description of performance specs. We adjourned the meeting with the understanding that the architect would move forward on upgrading drawings to reflect the 1-hour wall construction & opening & penetration protection per Ch. #3 & #7. They would provide a Mechanically designed exhaust system.

Visited with Dave Kodanko at the elevators after the meeting and stressed that the Exhaust system design in its entirety would have to be submitted and approved before a permit would be issued. This gave Dave some concern because they needed to start work and occupy the new space in a short time. Dave said it would be 6 or more months before Process Technologies would be in a position to use the amount of hazardous product that would get them into an H7 Occupancy. Dave would contact the client and get back with me.

Call from Mr. John Ferrell of Process Technologies, concerning the requirements for Exhaust System design details. We discussed the same items I had reviewed with Dave Kadanko yesterday (see meeting note). I suggested to Mr. Ferrell that he might go through the architect, Gordon MacDonald and Winslow Partnership to provide a more comprehensive Hazardous Materials Investigation review stipulating the maximum quantities of product that can be on site in the same building and not exceed the allowable limits, so that an H7 occupancy was not created. Mr Ferrell said he would contact his architect.
