The Hayward Fire Code prohibits the storage of flammable or combustible liquid in aboveground tanks - 60 gallons in capacity or larger, unless approved by the Fire Marshal.
Approval is granted only if the Fire Marshal finds that the aboveground tank would not pose a danger to the environment, the neighboring properties, and the health, safety and welfare of the community. To get approval:
- submit a written Alternate Materials and Methods Request to the Fire Marshal;
- explain how the proposed aboveground storage tank installation addresses concerns for public and environmental health and safety;
- include a Site Plan showing the proposed location for the tank and technical descriptions of the tank and other related equipment.
