alternative includes only the fire protection volume, the larger of the two required volumes. Fire
protection volume was maintained at 560,000 gallons to comply with ISO criteria. Also,
equalization storage requirements can be reduced by having the pumps activated more quickly
in response to tank drawdown. In this case, the 100,000 gallon equalization volume was reduced
to 40,000 gallons. The tank volume which results is presented below,

Equalization Volume:
Fire & Emergenqr Volume:
Total Volume:

40,000 gal
560.000
600,000 gal
