If, by statute or order of competent public authority having jurisdiction in the matter, greater clearances or other standards than those specified in said Exhibits "A" and "A-1" shall be required, third party will comply strictly with such statute or order. All doors, windows or gates of any building or enclosure shall be of the sliding type or shall, when opened, be swung away from the track when such building or enclosure is so located that said doors, windows or gates if opened toward the track would, when opened, be at clearances in violation of the clearances specified on said Exhibit "A.

Flammable liquids and flammable compressed gases are those as defined in the latest edition of the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 49. 2. Safety in handling these hazardous materials requires adherence to the following provisions for preventing static sparks and stray electrical currents. A. THE FOLLOWING RULES APPLY TO LOADING OR UNLOADING TRACKS: 1. A permanent electrical connection shall be made at each loading or unloading position between the rails on which tank cars may stand and the piping system used in connection with the transfer of flammable liquids or flammable compressed gases. 2. The electrical protection shall conform to the following specifications: (a) The electrical connection shall consist of not less than one No. 6 AWG copper stranded wire. (b) The rails on which any part of the tank car may stand while a flammable liquid or flammable compressed gas is being trans- ferred, shall be adequately bonded .at each rail joint by means of standard rail bonds. (c) The rails of such tracks shall be electrically separated from all other rails by the use of insulated rail joints of an approved type. Such insulated rail joints shall not be bridged by tank cars or other means during transfer operations. (d) A No. 2 AWG bond jumper cable with heavy-duty battery clip shall be connected between fill stem and tank car before any connection is made or cover raised and shall remain in place until filling is completed, all connections removed, and all dome covers are closed and secured. (e) Other precautions, such as additional temporary bonds between the piping system and tank car, and other special measures as may be required under specific local conditions, shall be taken to provide adequate protection. (f) All grounding wire connections to rails, pipes and bond wires connecting rails to each other shall be inspected and maintained periodically to insure that the grounding system is in proper working order. Insulated joints will be periodically inspected and maintained to assure that they are insulating the unloading track, electrically, from all other tracks, all at expense of Lessee. 3. Drawing CE 20187, Sheet 1R, dated 2-1-76, shows the details of protection specified above. All tracks where flammable liquids or flammable com- pressed gases are handled must be protected accordingly. Tracks already provided with protection in accordance with previous instructions need not be changed unless specifically authorized. B. THE FOLLOWING RULES APPLY TO PROXIMITY OF OVERHEAD ELECTRICAL WIRES TO LOCATION OF STORAGE TANKS OR TANK CARS : 1. Where any electric wire lines are within 20 feet of the tank opening, the use of a metallic gaging rod is prohibited. 2. Wherever possible, storage tanks shall not be located under or near any electric wire lines. _3. Wherever possible, where the contents of tank cars are being gaged or transferred, they shall not be located under or near any electric wire lines. 4. Where conditions of Paragraph 2 and 3 above cannot be met, the following requirements must be observed: (a) Where electric wire lines pass overhead, there shall be a minimum vertical clearance of 8 feet between the wires and the tank. (b) Where electric wire lines pass nearby and do not have minimum vertical clearance specified above, there shall be a minimum horizontal clearance of 8 feet between the lines and the tank. (c) Openings in tanks shall be at least 6 feet distant horizontally from any overhead electric wire lines. 5. Where electric wire lines involved, under above conditions, operate at voltages in excess of 550 volts, clearances herein specified shall be increased consistant with voltage involved. C. THE FOLLOWING RULES APPLY TO ELECTRICAL EQUIPMENT AND ASSOCIATED WIRING WITHIN M\ZARDOUS (CLASSIFIED) AREAS : 1. All electrical equipment and associated wiring within Hazardous (Classified) Locations must be approved for the class of location and for the explosion properties of the specific gas or vapor that is or may be present. All approved equipment, except where specifically exempted, shall be marked to show the Class, Group and operating temperature, or temperature range, based on 400C. ambient, for which it is approved. 2. The Lessee shall see that electrical equipment and their instal- lation conforms to the codes and standards of any Federal, State or local agencies having legal jurisdiction over their facility and that no operations, including storage or handling of flammable liquids or gases, can begin until facility has been examined and approved by inspecting authorities from the enforcing agencies. Where specific requirements of several enforcing agencies are in conflict with each other or with those standards set by the National Electric Code (NEC) , the facility must conform to the most stringent of the requirements. Article 500 of the latest edition of the NEC shall. be considered as the absolute minimum requirements for the installation and use of electrical equipment.
