(2) Aggregate water capacity of less than 15,540 gallons.
After receipt of LNG Form 2501, LP-Gas Operations shall conduct an
inspection as soon as possible to verify the installation described
complies with the rules in this chapter. The applicant may operate
the facility prior to inspection if the facility fully complies with
the rules in this chapter. If any LNG statute or safety rule violations
exist at the time of the initial inspection at a commercial installation,
LP-Gas Operations may immediately remove the subject container, including
any piping, appliances, appurtenances, or equipment connected to it
from LNG service until the applicant corrects the violations.
(m) If the Railroad Commission finds after a public
hearing that the proposed installation complies with the rules in
this chapter and the statutes of the State of Texas, and does not
constitute a danger to the public health, safety, and welfare, the
Railroad Commission shall issue an interim approval order. The construction
of the installation and the setting of the container shall not proceed
until the applicant has received written notification of the interim
approval order. Any interim approval order shall include a provision
that such approval may be suspended or revoked if:
(1) the applicant has introduced LNG into the system
prior to final approval; or
(2) a physical inspection of the installation indicates
that it is not installed in compliance with the submitted plat drawing
for the installation, the rules in this chapter, or the statutes of
the State of Texas; or
(3) the installation constitutes a danger to the public
health, safety, and welfare.
(n) Material variances. If LP-Gas Operations determines
the completed installation varies materially from the application
originally accepted, the applicant shall correct the variance and
notify LP-Gas Operations of the correction of the variance or resubmit
the application. LP-Gas Operations' review of such resubmitted application
shall comply with the procedure described in this section.
(o) In the event an applicant has requested an inspection
and LP-Gas Operations' inspection identifies violations requiring
modifications by the applicant, LP-Gas Operations may assess an inspection
fee to cover the costs associated with any additional inspection,
including mileage and per diem rates set by the legislature.
