Page 3 of 3 <br /> GPNPP-06-0309 <br /> 192 gallons (16— 12 gallon containers) of paint(Class 1B Flammable Liquid). <br /> The spraying of solvent on the airplane for cleaning is not performed <br /> simultaneously with the painting operation. The solvent and paint containers are <br /> identical and are ASME certified pressure tanks. The LEL testing performed <br /> above shows that the spray operation within the hangar does not create a <br /> hazardous level of vapors under any condition with the ventilation system in <br /> proper operation. <br /> BOE//VG <br /> The maximum allowable quantity per control area of hazardous materials by code <br /> in a building with an automatic sprinkler system is 240 gallons of storage and 60 <br /> gallons used in an open system (total of use and storage is 240 gallons). Because <br /> this facility does not exceed the maximum allowable quantity of hazardous <br /> materials we interpret the closest occupancy classification as Group S-1 Aircraft <br /> Repair Hangar. <br /> Smoke Vents/Draft Curtains <br /> Section 910.2.1 of the 2003 IBC does not require smoke vents for a Group S-1 <br /> Aircraft Repair Hangar. Since smoke and heat vents are not required the draft <br /> curtains serve no purpose and therefore are not required. This scenario was <br /> accepted by the City of Everett for the High Bay Factory 777 Expansion as well <br /> as the 45-01 and 45-04 Paint Hangars. <br /> Summary Request <br /> Please acknowledge acceptance of our request by providing a letter stating <br /> acceptance of the recommended reduction to the Class 1, Division 2 areas within <br /> all three Everett paint hangars, assigning an Occupancy Classification of S-1, and <br /> deleting the requirements for smoke and heat vents and draft curtains in the 45-03 <br /> Paint Hangar. <br /> The Boeing Company values our continued successful working relationship with <br /> the City of Everett. Should you have any questions or concerns or require <br /> additional information, please feel free to contact me. <br /> Sincer , <br /> Dirk H.
