Hello All,



I am currently reviewing plans for expansion of one of our existing
industries. The plans call for expanding into the neighboring condo
unit of a building next door to the existing unit. The proposal is to
re-locate the chemical storage area to this other building. As such,
they plan to move their chemicals all day long, via forklift, from one
building to the other as they need them in their process. There are two
storm sewer inlets along, or very near, the proposed path. This is
really the only path available. Should there be a spill; the chemicals
would most likely go right into the storm sewer. There would be little
time to contain such a spill. I am inclined to not approve this and was
wondering if anyone else has dealt with a similar situation. Would
there be a way to allow this activity but also protect the storm sewer?
Any ideas or info would be extremely helpful. Thank you.
