More than one container may be installed in a single area
provided:
i.a. The usable volume of the enclosure shall be at least one
hundred percent (100%) of the capacity of the largest
container enclosed,
i.b. Containers shall be elevated above grade so that
cryogenic liquids will not reach the outside container wall
in the event of a liquid spill, or
i.c. If cryogenic liquids can reach the outside container wall,
the material that can be wetted by spilled liquid shall be
suitable for use at the temperature of the liquid with the
lowest normal boiling point within the enclosure.
ii. Dike walls shall be of earth or other materials compatible to the
fluid stored, designed to be liquid tight, and to withstand

from any building of such construction or occupancy which
constitute an exposure of hazard to a container in the event of fire
or explosion in said buildings. When the capacity is seven hundred
fifteen thousand liters (715,000 ℓ) or less, the distance required from
aboveground storage of flammable or combustible liquids and
buildings which constitute an exposure to hazard shall be based on
the capacity of the container or containers and the physical
features of the installation with three meters (3 m) being the
minimum distance allowed.
b. The minimum distance from the edge of a flammable cryogenic
