Current through Register Vol. XLI, No. 28, July 12, 2024
4.1. No
				person shall erect, construct, maintain, or operate any establishment except in
				accordance with the provisions of this regulation.
4.2. No establishment shall be operated or
				maintained in any basement, cellar, or other space below the ground level, or
				in any story above the first story in any building unless approved by agencies
				concerned with proper safeguards to public health and safety.
4.3. No building containing an establishment
				shall be used for any other purpose than commercial operation. It shall not be
				used for occupancy as an apartment or other dwelling unless approved by
				agencies concerned with proper safeguards to public health and
				safety.
4.4. Enclosures for a steam
				boiler, furnace, steam generator, or open flame burner shall not be
				interconnected with dry cleaning machine enclosures and must obtain air for
				combustion from the outside atmosphere or other areas, but not from the dry
				cleaning machine enclosure.
4.5.
				Only the solvent for which the equipment was designed shall be used. Each
				solvent container shall bear a label specifying the contents. A trade name
				alone is not considered in compliance with this requirement.
4.6. The dry cleaning units shall be so
				designed that they are inoperable when their front or loading doors are open.
				Furthermore, such dry cleaning devices shall be so designed that the loading
				doors cannot be opened during the normal operating cycle, nor during an
				abnormal interruption thereof due to electrical, mechanical, or power failure.
				Each dry cleaning unit shall have a drying cycle of sufficient duration to
				prevent the opening of the loading doors until after all cleaning solvent has
				been removed from the cleaned items within the unit.
4.7. No solvent shall be settled or stored in
				any open or unprotected vessels or tanks.
4.8. All transfers of solvents shall be
				effected through continuous piping and all pipe connections or threaded joints
				shall be made with a suitable sealing compound and all outlets or drain lines
				shall be drained to settling or storage tanks. Daily make-up solvent may be
				transferred from storage to machine using flexible solvent resistant tubing or
				a covered container rather than through continuous piping if maintenance area
				ventilation described in Section 5.5 is in effect during the
				transfer.
4.9. The discharge of
				lint to the outside atmosphere shall be prohibited.
4.10. Filter residue and other residues
				containing solvent shall be stored in suitable covered containers and disposed
				of in accordance with existing disposal regulations. Containers shall be locked
				if stored outside of building.

				equipment of adequate capacity approved by the U. S. Bureau of Mines for
				protection against organic vapors shall be provided for maintenance personnel
				and must be kept in good repair and available for immediate use. Maintenance
				personnel shall be instructed in the proper use and limitations of such
				protective equipment.
