Southern Corrosion Inc.’s Engineered Tank Care Service offers comprehensive coverage for your tank
maintenance needs. The purpose of the service is to extend the life of your tank(s) and their existing
coatings for as long as possible. The service includes corrosion protection, repairs, painting, regularly
scheduled inspections, and a guaranteed emergency response time. The service does not include tasks
associated with the operation of the water system, installation or repair of underground piping, any
structures that are not part of the tank, any electrical work, telemetry, cutting the grass around the tank(s),
or fence maintenance. The service does not include additional modifications to the tank beyond the tank’s
existing configuration unless included in the specifications of our proposal. The service can include
maintenance on the cathodic protection system if the tank(s) is/are equipped with cathodic protection, and
you request this to be included in the service.
As a part of the service, we provide a detailed schedule of exactly what services will be performed in each
year. Also included is an emergency response service that will guarantee a response time to emergency
situations that threaten the immediate use of the tank.
The maintenance service term is based on a mutually agreeable time duration (ie. perpetual). Annual
premiums can be structured monthly, quarterly, or annually. Pick terms that best suit your needs. Also, the
service can be canceled up to 60 days prior to the renewal date for the next year’s service.

THE SERVICE PREMIUM QUOTE COVERS:
________________________________________________________________________________________
1. Emergency Service
2. Regularly scheduled interior washouts when applicable.
3. All interior & exterior cleaning, painting, and repairs.
4. Maintenance and upkeep of the tank.
5. Planning & budgeting for both short-term & long-term maintenance needs.

INSURANCE
________________________________________________________________________________________
The sample insurance certificate enclosed provides you with an example of the insurance coverage we will
provide the Customer. We intend to renew our policies at the same coverage levels indicated on the sample
certificate. For your further protection, we will supply you with a pollution liability insurance policy that
protects you from lead contamination claims. For more than 10 years, general liability insurance policies
have specifically excluded coverage for contamination claims. To insure for the liability of improper job site
handling of hazardous wastes, you need this insurance. This insurance is provided at no extra cost. Our
prices do not include the cost of supplying performance and payment bonds. If this is required, our bonding
company is the Great American Insurance Company, of Cincinnati, Ohio. For Southern Corrosion, Inc. to
provide these bonds, please add 3% to all service premiums quoted. If provided, the bonds will be renewed
annually, after the cancellation period for the next year’s service has expired.

VISUAL & WASHOUT INSPECTIONS
________________________________________________________________________________________
Tank(s) will be visually inspected annually. The annual visual inspections have three basic purposes. First,
functional items such as the safety of ladders, the continued operation of float gauges, and the absence or
damage of structural items such as sway rods, struts, etc. can continually be monitored.
Second, the coating system can be visually evaluated for the presence or absence of coating breakdown or
surface holidays. This provides evidence of the rate of deterioration of the coating system, an important
item in determining recoating cycles for the tank, as well as arresting any steel corrosion before it reduces
the effective structural steel thickness.
Third, access can be controlled, especially unauthorized access. Graffiti, vandalism, and the presence or
absence of locked hatches and ladder gates confirm the security level of the tank site.
Additionally, as scheduled, a washout inspection will be performed. A washout inspection includes draining
the tank, removing all sediment and debris, and a complete visual inspection of both the interior and
exterior. All findings will be documented in a bound inspection report, annotated with photographs for
detailing conditions.
Any corrective maintenance needed will be added to the maintenance schedule.

CORROSION PROTECTION & PAINTING
________________________________________________________________________________________
Our maintenance service schedule will detail exactly what maintenance painting will be performed during
regularly scheduled intervals.

9

REPAIRS
________________________________________________________________________________________
Our maintenance service schedule will detail exactly what repairs will be performed during regularly
scheduled intervals.

EMERGENCY RESPONSE
________________________________________________________________________________________
Emergencies that threaten the immediate use of the tank will be responded to within the response time
specified. The response referred to is for the purpose of our assessment of the emergency situation. If
possible, repairs will be completed during the initial response. These emergency repairs are included in the
maintenance service.

AESTHETICS
________________________________________________________________________________________
Feel free to consult with us concerning alternative exterior finish coat color schemes and logos. These items
can be included in the original agreement or can be added to the service.

SAFETY
________________________________________________________________________________________
If needed, the service can include alterations necessary to bring the tank into compliance with current OSHA
regulations or AWWA standards.

GRAFFITI
________________________________________________________________________________________
The service includes the coating over or removal of graffiti one time each year, if required. Removing or
overcoating graffiti is not normally considered an emergency response; it is a scheduled event. If graffiti
appears, we will review the security of the tank site involved, and additional measures may need to be
addressed by the Owner, if it is desired to continue this protection.

10

FUTURE ANTENNA INSTALLATION
________________________________________________________________________________________
Many tank owners choose to defer water tank maintenance costs by leasing their tanks to cellular phone
providers or other communication companies. Such additions can increase future tank maintenance costs if
not designed properly. Under this contract, we will review the installation plans for any antenna installations
to eliminate damage and future maintenance costs to your tank(s) and provide a post installation inspection
to ensure that installation conforms to the approved installation plans.

EXISTING CONDITIONS
________________________________________________________________________________________
This service proposal is based upon the actual structural conditions found on your tanks at the time of the
proposal. Any additions or changes by the Owner (i.e. Antenna installation, sign lighting, etc.) may affect the
maintenance costs included in this service. We reserve the right to re-evaluate or modify this contract if
such a change takes place. (Also see “Future antenna installation”)

ELECTRICAL & ANTENNA TRANSMISSION HAZARDS
________________________________________________________________________________________
Our proposal is based upon the Owner deactivating, or otherwise making safe, any electrical wires or
connections to any tank. OSHA requires that our personnel work at least 15 feet from any “live” electrical
hazards. When applicable, we will protect any antennas and have assumed that the Town will verify that
harmful microwave transmissions do not emanate from any such antennas during our work.

ACCESS TO RECORDS

PRICING & TERMS
_____________________________________________________________________________________
Necessary repair of any coatings or appurtenances noted during our inspections will be added to our
service schedule at no additional cost. These necessary repairs include paint failed areas and areas of

other defects that are aesthetic
Emergency service will apply during the entire period. We will guarantee a 24-hour response time.
Corrective maintenance noted during our inspections will be added to our schedule at no added expense.
Our annual premium for the first year of the service is $127,722.00. All subsequent year premiums will be
the total of the immediate prior year’ s premium amount plus the % change in the CPI (Consumer Price
Index) for that previous year (ie. Year 2 premium equals Year 1 premium plus the % change in the CPI for
Year 1).

THIS PRICE IS FIRM FOR 30 DAYS.
Each year represents a 12-month period beginning with the effective date of the contract, rather than the
actual calendar year. The Owner will be given the opportunity to schedule the yearly work at any time
during the 12-month period that represents the contract term. The annual premium is due within 30 days

Ground to Bottom of Platform Height: 40.8 feet at 7.3 feet from centerline of
rotation (12.45 m at 2.21 m)
Working Height: 45.8 feet (13.96 m)
Maximum reach to edge of platform with Upper Boom Non- overcenter: 30.1 feet
(at 17.3 feet platform height)
Upper boom extension: 110 inches
Continuous rotation
Articulating Arm: Articulation is from -3 to 82 degrees. Insulator provides 19
inches of isolation.
Compensation System: By raising the articulating arm only, the telescopic boom
maintains its relative angle in relation to the ground. The work position is
achieved through a single function operation.
Upper Boom: Articulation is from -25 to 85 degrees. The fiberglass section
provides a minimum of 10.9 inches of isolation in the upper boom (when retracted
and 42.3 inches when extended).
Platform leveling is achieved by a hydraulic master-slave leveling system. This
lifetime system is very low maintenance.
The dielectrically tested, insulating upper control system includes the following
boom tip components that can provide an additional layer of secondary electrical
contact protection.
Control Handle: A single handle controller incorporating high electrical resistance
components that is dielectrically tested to 40 kV AC with no more than 400
microampers of leakage. The control handle is green in color to differentiate it
from other non-tested controllers. The handle also includes an interlock guard
that reduces the potential for inadvertent boom operation.
Auxiliary Control Covers: Non-tested blue silicon covers for auxiliary controls.
Control Console: Non-tested non-metallic control console plate.
Boom Tip Covers: Non-tested non-metallic boom tip covers. The covers are not

Staff Report : Zoning Text Amendment 2500345
Background Information

Planning Commission (PC) has had two work sessions to discuss the
proposed Data Center text amendments to the I-2 Zoning District. This
amendment will provide a mechanism to restrict Data Centers as a land use
exclusively to the I-2 district and only permit them by Special Use Permit. This
ordinance was derived from extensive research into the lessons learned of
other jurisdictions and a thorough analysis by PC members.
Staff recommends approval to the Town Council

IMPACT ANALYSIS REQUIREMENTS.
175-3 – DEFINITIONS
For the purpose of this chapter, certain words and terms are herein defined as follows:
ANSI S1.4 - A standard that specifies the performance requirements for sound level meters, including different
types of meters used for measuring sound levels in various environments.

T

BEST MANAGEMENT PRACTICES (BMP) - Proven and repeatable practices and workflows that represent the most
effective and efficient ways to achieve organizational goals, maintain compliance, and enhance overall
performance.

AF

CORRELATED COLOR TEMPERATURE (CCT) - It is essentially a gauge of how yellow or blue the color of light
emitted from a light bulb appears. It’s measured in the Kelvin.
DATA CENTER - A use where digital information is processed, transferred, and/ or stored, occupying 10,000 square
feet or more, where the majority of space is occupied by computers, servers, telecommunications and related
equipment (including supporting equipment).

R

DATA CENTER CAMPUS (CAMPUS) - Land occupied and maintained by Data Center.

D

DECIBEL AUDIBLE (dB(A)) - Weighted power measurement for noise that filters high and low frequencies not of
concern to human hearing.
DECIBELS RELATIVE TO THE CARRIER (dB(C)) - A measurement that expresses the power ratio of a noise signal to a
carrier signal in decibels. It indicates how much weaker or stronger the noise is compared to the carrier, with
positive values showing stronger noise and negative values indicating weaker noise.
EMERGENCY MEDICAL SERVICES (EMS) - The immediate medical response and pre-hospital care provided by
trained professionals (such as paramedics and emergency medical technicians) to individuals experiencing acute
illness or injury, typically in emergency situations like accidents, cardiac arrest, trauma, or other medical crises.
FOOT CANDLES (fc) - A unit of measurement for illuminance, which indicates how much light is received on a
surface. Specifically, one foot-candle equals one lumen per square foot.
g - Refers to the unit of acceleration due to gravity, which is approximately 9.8 m/s². It is used to measure the
magnitude of vibration, with higher g values indicating greater levels of acceleration and potential impact.
LARGE INDUSTRIAL FACILITY UTILITY USER: Refers to a business or organization that consumes or discharges a
significant volume of utilities such as electricity, natural gas, or water due to large-scale industrial operations.

Page 1 of 21

LUMINOUS EFFICACY (lm/w): Luminous Efficacy relates the luminous flux produced by a light source and the
actual luminous flux emitted, i.e. how much light a light source is capable of producing and how much light it
actually emits.
POWER USE EFFECTIVENESS (PUE): A metric used to measure the energy efficiency of a data center. It compares
the total amount of power used by the facility to the power used specifically by the computing equipment (like
servers, storage, and networking devices).
SMALL DATA CENTER: A use where digital information is processed, transferred, and or stored, occupying less than
10,000 square feet, where the majority of space is occupied by computers, servers, telecommunications and
related equipment (including supporting equipment).

recreational purposes.

b.

The on-site open space requirement may be reduced to 20% on a parcel where all
stormwater best management practices are designed where all volume and nutrient
treatment occurs on site without the purchase of offsite nutrient credits.

Noise Standards

a.

AF

T

Technical Note: Unlike other sources of noise, data centers generate a continuous,
mechanical sound profile primarily from industrial-scale cooling systems, power
infrastructure, and ventilation equipment which may persist 24 hours a day.
Because this noise is largely constant and not intermittent, it presents unique
challenges to nearby residential areas and requires separate regulation from most
general noise provisions. These standards aim to protect public health, residential
quality of life, and nighttime peace while allowing for the lawful operation of data
center facilities.

Noise standards are measured in bands and across total audible spectrum. Noise is
measured prior to construction and the post construction operational phase of data center.
i.

Low-frequency core audio band: Sound in the range of 10 Hz to 250 Hz, dB(C).

ii.

High-frequency core audio band: Sound in the range of 2,000 Hz to 8,000 Hz, dB(A).

R

5.

Open Spaces

Note: Mid frequency core audio band is not specified above in i or ii since it doesn’t
typically create tonal or vibration-related issues. It is, however, captured within both
A-weighted and C-weighted measurements specified later in this section. The
specified high and low frequencies are the most common culprits in nuisance or
environmental complaints, especially from data centers (cooling fans, HVAC, etc.)

D

4.

A perimeter buffer shall be established and maintained with a minimum width of twentyfive feet along the perimeter of each Data Center Campus. In addition, additional plantings
within the setback area but spread outside of the separately landscaped perimeter buffer
shall be installed and maintained by the campus owner.

iii.

Overall level and total noise in dB(A): Sound across 10 Hz to 20000 Hz.

iv.

Overall level and total noise in dB(C): Sound across 10 Hz to 20000 Hz

Note: dB(A): A-weighted decibel scale (emphasizes frequencies heard by humans) and
dB(C): C-weighted decibel scale (captures low-frequency noise).
v.
Any noise which emanates from operation or other activity associated with any data
center or research, development, or light manufacturing facility, or their accessory
uses shall be limited to a “Equivalent Continuous Sound Level (LEQ)” in A-weighted
decibels of 59 dB(A) (+/- 1.5 dB) and C- weighted decibels 65 dB(C) (+/- 1.5 dB) during
the day (7:00 a.m. until 9:00pm) and 52 dB(A) (+/- 1.5 dB) and 58 dB(C) (+/- 1.5 dB)
during the night (9:00pm through 7:00 a.m.). LEQ shall be measured over a minimum
15-minute interval for both daytime (7:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m.) and nighttime (9:00 p.m.
to 7:00 a.m.) periods. If the total spectrum measurement yields a 15dB difference
between dB(A) and dB(C), additional analysis to identify any spectral peaks is
required.

Page 9 of 21

vi.

Measurements shall be taken at the campus boundaries, using calibrated sound level
meters conforming to ANSI S1.4 Type 1 or Type 2 standards, with the meter set to
“Slow” response and utilizing A-weighting (dB(A)) and C-weighting (dB(C)) as
appropriate. Environmental noise levels shall be tested prior to construction and in
the post construction operational phase.

vii.

A differential analysis across 10 Hz to 8000 Hz band utilizing dB(A) and dB(C) total
band measurements shall be conducted. That differential shall not exceed:
(1)

≤ 15dB +/- 1.5 dB Daytime

(2)

≤ 20dB +/- 1.5 dB Nighttime

viii. Utilizing dB(A) and dB(C) total band measurements, a 1/3 Octave Band Analysis. shall
not detect tonal components and frequency-specific noise:
A 1/3-octave band has a sound pressure level ≥ 5 dB higher than the levels in
the adjacent bands (on either side).

(2)

A narrowband spectral peak that stands out significantly from the background
spectrum and can be clearly heard as a hum, whine, buzz, or tone.

Frequency-Specific Adjustments

If a noise source contains tonal components (i.e., pure tones) in the low- or
high-frequency range, the following penalties apply:

AF

(1)

T

ix.

(1)

(a) +5 dB penalty if the noise has distinct tonal components at 250 Hz or less
(e.g., industrial fans).
(b) +3 dB penalty if the noise has tonal components above 250Hz (e.g.,
squeals).

x.

R

(c) These measurement penalties are added to the measured A-weighted
Equivalent Continuous Sound Level (LEQ) value for analysis.
Sound measurements equipment standards:
Measurements must be taken using calibrated sound level meters complying
with ANSI S1.4 Type 1 or Type 2 standards:

D

(1)

(a) At the campus boundary.
(b) With the meter set to “Slow” response.
(c) With A-weighting and C-weighting applied for respective limits.
(d) Wind screening, weather condition controls, and height of measurement
mic (e.g., 1.5 m above ground) shall be used for measurement equipment
set-up.

xi.

xii.
