Section 9-17-103Liquefied Petroleum Gas Board - Promulgation, etc., of rules and regulations; inspection of gas systems. (a) The board shall have the power to make and enforce rules and regulations governing the design, construction, location, installation, and operation of containers, tanks, systems, and equipment for storing, utilizing, handling, and transporting liquefied petroleum gases and rules to secure the substantial accuracy of all meters, safety devices, and regulators generally used in connection with such gases. No person shall be permitted to certify the accuracy of their own company owned meters. The rules and regulations shall be such as are reasonably necessary for the protection of the health and safety of the public and persons using such gases, and shall be adopted pursuant to the Alabama Administrative Procedure Act. All rules and regulations shall be posted on the board website and available for download by the public. The board, upon request, shall provide a printed hard copy of the rules and regulations. If a rule or regulation is amended, the revised rule or regulation shall be posted on the board website before the revision becomes effective. (b) In order that the administrator of the board and inspectors may determine whether or not a danger to the public or to a liquefied petroleum gas user exists, and there is reasonable cause to believe that such danger does exist, the administrator and inspectors may enter any building or upon any premises connected to a liquefied petroleum gas system for the sole purpose of conducting an inspection or an investigation of such system. If a violation is found in conducting such inspection which is determined to be a hazard and a danger to the public or to a liquefied petroleum gas user, the administrator and inspectors shall have the power, duty and authority to shut off the liquefied petroleum gas system and to condemn the system from further use for purposes of safety until the gas system has been certified as back in compliance with adopted liquefied petroleum gas safety code standards and until the red tag is removed, or authorized to be removed, by a board appointee or employee. When a system is condemned, it shall be red-tagged. (Acts 1965, No. 220, p. 305, §5; Acts 1984, No. 84-293, p. 555, §1; Acts 1988, No. 88-142, p. 215, §3; Act 2014-145, p. 353, §1.)

(a) The board shall require that every applicant for a Permit A have located within the State of Alabama a minimum of 30,000 (water gallon capacity) gallons storage capacity for liquefied petroleum gases. Class B-1 permit holders shall be required to have a minimum of 18,000 (water gallon capacity) gallons storage capacity of liquefied petroleum gas. (b) If the required minimum storage consists of more than one container, then no storage container in any installation used to meet this requirement of the law shall be a size less than 6,000 gallon (water capacity) and the storage capacity required by this section of the law shall be within close proximity to the area serviced and used by the applicant to service the applicant's customers in the State of Alabama. (c) The board shall require that such person shall submit plans for the proposed bulk storage facility to the office of the board and obtain approval by the administrator of such plans before construction is begun. All such facilities must be constructed according to rules and regulations of the board and the completed unit must have board approval before being used. (d) If the holder of a Permit A or Permit B-1 submits plans to the board for a storage plant that shall remain the holder's property even though the plant be at a customer's site or if the plant to be built is to be used as part of the holder's own distribution system, then there will be no additional fees for approval and inspection of this facility; however, if this permit holder undertakes to install a bulk storage system of 5,000 gallons water capacity or more in single containers or in multi-container installation of an aggregate of 5,000 gallons water capacity, the holder must obtain approval for the location and for the plans from the administrator of the board before construction is begun. When plans for the bulk storage plant described above are submitted to the board for approval, a fee of two hundred dollars ($200) must be paid at the same time. This fee of two hundred dollars ($200) will cover examination of the plans and one site inspection. An additional fee of fifty dollars ($50) for each inspection trip to the site, that is required, shall be paid to the board before final approval is given for the facility to be used. These fees may be changed by the board.
