WAC 296-52-70045   Type 4 magazines: Blasting agent, low explosive, or nonmass detonating detonator storage facilities.  A Type 4 storage facility must:

     • Be a building, an igloo, an army-type structure, a tunnel, a dugout, a box, a trailer, semi-trailer, or other mobile facility

     • Be fire resistant, weather resistant, and theft resistant

     • Have the ground around the facility slope away for drainage

     • Have the wheels removed or effectively immobilized by kingpin locking devices or other methods approved by the department, when an unattended vehicular magazine is used.


Note: Test results show that electric detonators are not affected by sympathetic detonation. Therefore, a Type 4 storage facility meets the necessary requirements for storage of electric detonators.
