3) M2.4 Boiler rooms are required to have floor drains per IMC 1004.6. RESOLVED PER RE-SUBMITTAL RECEIVED 7-27-2017. 8-23-2017 THIS COMMENT DEFERRED TO ITEM #6 BELOW.
4) M2.4 The floor drains shall be trapped and vented and connected to existing sanitary sewers within 200 feet per UPC 713.4. (Ref sheet C1.1) 8-01-2017 UNRESOLVED. TWO OF THE THREE BOILER SHEDS HAVE EXISTING SANITARY SEWER LINES WITHIN 20 FEET PER CIVIL SHEETS C1.2 AND C1.3. THE THIRD BOILER SHED MAY HAVE THE NEUTRALIZED CONDENSATE GO DIRECTLY TO A DRYWELL; HOWEVER, THE BOILER CONTAINING GLYCOL MUST HAVE ADDITIONAL PROVISIONS TO ALLEVIATE THE RISK OF POLLUTING THE GROUND WATER TABLE. PROVIDE A BOILER DRIP PAN WITH AN OVERFLOW DRAIN, PIPED TO THE FLOOR DRAIN THAT IS CONNECTED TO A DRY WELL, TO CONTAIN SMALL LEAKS AND PRESSURE RELIEF VALVE RELEASES WITH THE HOPE THAT PERIODIC MAINTENANCE WILL SEE AND FIX THE PROBLEM BEFORE IT GETS OUT OF HAND. 8-23-2017 THIS COMMENT DEFERRED TO ITEM #6 BELOW.
