Hazardous Materials Impact Statement
Proposed structures that contain materials that pose a health or physical risk (as defined in the IFC) and if used, stored, or handled on-site, must have a Hazardous Materials Impact Statement (HMIS) completed and supplied to LFRA at the time of building permit application. The analysis must be prepared by a licensed design professional with experience in HMIS, by Chapter 50 - General Provisions/Hazardous Materials; Appendix E - Hazard Categories; and Tables 5003.1.1(1) through 5003.1.1(4). The HMIS shall include the following:
- Product name
- Component
- Chemical Abstract Service (CAS) number
- The location where stored or used
- Container size
- Hazard classification
- Amount in storage
- Amount in use - closed systems
- Amount in use - open systems
