| (a) Aggregate water capacity of 10,000 gallons or more.
The applicant shall notify AFS in writing when the installation is
ready for inspection.
(1) If any non-compliance items are cited at the time
of AFS' initial inspection, the installation shall not be placed in
LP-gas service until the non-compliance items are corrected, as determined
at the time of inspection depending on the nature of the non-compliance
items cited.
(2) If AFS does not physically inspect the facility
within 30 calendar days of receipt of notice that the facility is
ready for inspection, the facility may operate conditionally until
the initial inspection is completed.
(b) Aggregate water capacity of less than 10,000 gallons.
After receipt of LPG Form 501, AFS shall conduct an inspection as
soon as possible to verify that the installation described is in compliance
with the rules in this chapter. The facility may be operated prior
to inspection if it is in compliance with the rules in this chapter.
If the initial inspection at a commercial installation results in
the citation of non-compliance items, AFS may require that the subject
container, including any piping, appliances, appurtenances, or equipment
connected to it, be immediately removed from LP-gas service until
the non-compliance items are corrected.
(c) Material variances. If AFS determines the completed
installation varies materially from the application originally accepted,
correction of the variance and notification to AFS or resubmission
of the application is required. The review of such resubmitted application
shall comply with §9.101 of this title (relating to Filings Required
for Stationary LP-Gas Installations).
(d) In the event an applicant has requested an inspection
and AFS' inspection identifies non-compliance items requiring modifications
by the applicant, AFS shall consider the assessment of an inspection
fee to cover the costs associated with any additional inspection,
including mileage and per diem rates set by the legislature.
