Segregate DS2 from STB, HTH, and other oxidizers. However, in the event that short term depot or garrison storage or

storage in field situations requires DS2 to be stored in the same area as STB, HTH, and oxidizers, separate DS2 from

these materials by at least 5 feet and add a splash-proof barrier in between. Aisles, and areas between DS2 and other

chemical defensive equipment must be at least 5 feet wide in order to clean up spills and to make the containers

accessible for inspection.

4-4. Storage Facilities.

4-4.1 General. Depot or garrison storage of DS2 can be in a number of different types of facilities, e.g., rooms within

buildings, attached buildings, general warehouses, and liquid warehouses. Requirements for each of these will be

discussed separately in paragraphs below.

4-4.2 Storage Quantities. The amount of DS2 that can be stored in each facility is dependent on the type of storage

area. Quantities are further governed by whether the storage area is unprotected or protected. Protected storage is that

which has automatic fire suppression equipment (sprinklers) installed.

Rooms within buildings. Amounts permitted in rooms within buildings are outlined in Table 4.
