Re: Emergency Trailer Facilities
Dear Mr. Woodward:
This department has reviewed your request pursuant to handicap
access for the above referenced project. From your letter it is our
understanding that usage of this facility is an emergency or stand
by structure which will contain backup communication equipment and
related space, should an emergency occur at your existing facility.
It is also our understanding that this proposed structure will not be
used on a regular basis.
Based on this very limited use and that this structure will not
customarily be occupied by humans but by equipment our department
feels than Section .003 exception number (2) Chapter 51-10 W.A.0
would be applicable for this structure, and grant you your request.
Should the use of this structure change, access to this structure
would be required.
The department recommends that every attempt be made to accommodate
access where ever possible. Interior facilities should be considered
during purchase.
Should you have any questions, please contact me between the hours
of 8:00 a.m. and 4:00 p.m., weekdays.
Sinc ely,

BUILDING CODES DEPT.
Dear Mr. Jeffrey:
Pursuant to our conversation at your office on March 1, 1990, This will clarify
Pacific Gas Transmission Company's intent regarding the installation of an office
trailer approximately 12'x 60' at our Operating Headquarters at Third and Carnahan
in the Spokane Valley.
Our Spokane Headquarters operates a major interstate natural gas pipeline, running
from British Columbia to the California border. Gas control is maintained on a
24-hour basis in order to ensure the throughput of natural gas through our pipe-
line system.
Should an emergency arise, i.e. fire, earthquake, or other disaster, which may
affect gas control operations and other functions of this office, we find it
prudent to install an "emergency trailer," which would contain backup communica-
tions, office space, etc., which would be used to ensure safe, noninterruptible
operation of the natural gas pipeline system. This is the trailer identified in
Project No. 90000703.
We are not assuming this office will be used on a regular basis, and are therefore
asking an exception to the requirement of a handicapped entrance. Your acquies-
cence and approval of this proposal would be appreciated.
Should you have any further questions, please contact me at any time.
