RE: City of Fort Collins Integrated Recycle Facility — Hazardous Material Storage
The following is a summary of our findings of code requirements for the temporary storage of hazardous
materials related to the proposed Fort Collins Integrated Recycling Facility.
The 2006 International Fire Code was utilized to formulate this analysis.
The recycling facility is divided into two areas: a free -drop area where non -hazardous materials such as
paper, plastic, metal and glass containers will be disposed of by residents; and a fee -drop area where
non -hazardous and hazardous materials such as motor oil, antifreeze, batteries, e-waste, latex paints,
aggregates, yard waste, scrap metal will be accepted for a small fee per load. Internal drive circulation
includes an emergency access easement and full turning accommodations for emergency vehicles. Knox
boxes will be provided at all gates for emergency vehicle access. The facility will be operated by
contracted employees. The intake of potentially hazardous materials will occur only during business
hours. The handling of material to the on -site storage containers will either be performed or supervised
by on -site staff. The transfer of hazardous waste, including all 55 gal drum material, will be performed
by contracted employees.
The hazardous material storage area will have code required containment, natural ventilation and
emergency vehicle access, and the removal of waste items from the site shall follow all Colorado
Department of Transportation requirements. The hazardous material storage area will be about 26,000
sf and located behind a six foot chain link security fence with two access gate locations (one for entrance
and one for exit). Two containment areas are anticipated within this area: one for batteries (corrosives)
and e-waste, and one for motor oil (Class 1116) and antifreeze (ethylene glycol/non-health hazardous).
Battery and oil containment will be separated from each other by 30 ft. Oil and antifreeze spill
containment will be provided by 55 gal steel and/or poly drums over spill containment pallets per IFC
2006, 2704.2.3. Covered/vented poly containers will house battery storage, providing both spill
containment and weather protection. An open -sided lean-to shelter (per IBC, overhead non-
combustible) will provide weather protection for oil and antifreeze containment pallets. Specific
material rated fire extinguishers will be located at the oil/antifreeze containment area.
