Re: Your Boat Club Fueling Issues
The fueling solution that Your Boat Club is using was a temporary solution. They were to use while
going through the process of installing a permanent solution. I have met with a representative of the
State Fire Marshall's Office on site to discuss what Your Boat Club is currently using to fuel their boats.
He had a few issues with the current set up. He would like to see the tank and dispenser moved farther
from the gazebo. It should be fifty (50) feet away from an important building. I am alright with the
location of the dispenser on a temporary basis, since the fueling operations are not open for the public
and only used on Your Boat Club's boats and only by their trained employees. My approval of the
dispenser loca6on is also on condition that the tank is only filled to 560 gallons or less too. Orono has
another marina with similar conditions for fueling boats in the beginning of the boating season, so I am
basing part of my approval on the past history on fueling boats at a marina in Orono.
Your Boat Club will need to install no smoking signs and hazard identification signs per the State Fire
Code. They also will need to install venting pipes for the tank that are twelve (12) feet above the
ground. They will need to ensure that there is not more then 560 gallons of fuel in the tank at any point.
They will also need to relocate the platform 50'from the gazebo.
I grant them approval to fuel boats for 90 days if the above conditions are met and they are going
through the approval process for installing a permanent fueling solution such as but not limited to a
below ground tank with the dispenser mounted out on the dock. If they don't meet these conditions
then they will not be permitted to fuel their boats.

Luke,
I was out at your site this morning and it appears the pump is up and ready for business. I did notice that we are
missing a few minor items.
1. You will need to post "No Smoking" signs need to be posted and enforced. No smoking with 50 feet of the
pump. The sign needs to have 4 inch letters with a background in a contrasting color. Section 2210.5.5.1
2. You will need to post warning signs by the pump. The sign needs to have letters at least 3 inches in height
with a background in a contrasting color and they should have the following or approved equivalent wordir�g:
WARNING
NO SMOKING - STOP ENGINE WHILE FUELING,
SHUT OFF ELECTRICITY.
DO NOT START ENGINE UNTIL AFTER
BELOW DECK SPACES ARE VENTILATED.
Section 2210.5.7
3. The hose will need to be reeled, racked or other protected from damage and not left laying on the dock.
Section 2210.3.3
4. You will need to have an approved portable fire extinguisher(minimum rating of 20-B-C) within 25 feet of
the pump. You might have one inside the office area that needs to be moved while dispensing. Section
2210.6.4
Thanks
