Proposal summary
The Deep River Marina wants to be allowed to keep a gasoline dispenser in its current location, 3 metres from the door of the building. Clause 5.1.1(c) of the Liquid Fuels Handling Code (LFHC) requires that product be dispensed at least 4.5 metres from any opening in a building to prevent vapour from entering the building.

Proposal details
During a recent inspection, the inspector noted that the dispenser was too close to the door.
Three metres from the building opening, the existing dispenser is located on a concrete slab and not susceptible to flooding or ice movement in this location. The dispenser is also well protected on two sides by concrete retaining walls. Moreover, dispensing does not take place at this location.
The dispenser is connected by aboveground steel pipe to hose reels. From the reels, marina staff pulls the hose to the floating dock to fuel the boats. The floating dock is approximately 7 metres from the building door; vapours are generated here, at the nozzle, much further than the 4.5 metres required by the LFHC.
In addition, moving the dispenser 4.5 metres away from the door would put the dispenser on timbers and over the water.
