Some districts are already <br />in place and establishment of these standards could be incorporated <br />using a multihazard approach. <br /> <br />CS-2 Develop standards for Dquified petroleum gas (LPG) instllUation and <br />sponsor legislation to incorporate these standards into the USC codes. <br /> <br />This issue was identified in the 1993 IHMT which requested the State <br />Fire Marshall work closely with the National Propane Gas Association <br />(NPGA) and the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA), Inadequate <br />anchoring of the tanks is a significant hazard. In the 1993 flood event. <br />there were approximately 200 leaks that were detected in LPG systems <br />which resulted in 12 deaths. The USEPA removed approximately 100 <br />suspicious containers from the Russian River in this event. <br /> <br />NPGA and the NFPA have begun to develop standards for LPG <br />installations. DWR floodplain management regulations may be the <br />appropriate vehicle to enact these changes. <br /> <br />CS-3 Strengthen floodplain management structural regullltions in the USC. <br /> <br />DWR/FEMA will work through the International Congress of Building <br />Officials (ICBO) and the California Buildings Standards Commission <br />(CBSC) to incorporate the structural floodplain requirements into the <br />body of the UBC. making local adoption mandatory, The existing <br />structural floodplain management requirements in the NFIP are now in <br />the appendix of the UBC, where adoption by a jurisdiction is optional. <br /> <br />29 <br /> <br />JJ.,.,J 'mJ;,.u../?.,..,t <br />JJ"""'I 1995 <br />
