Provide a marked (with dashed, painted yellow lines) 2.5-foot wide (0.8 m) “dual use” buffer on both sides of the 15-foot-wide (4.6 m) unobstructed fire lane. Local enforcement would keep this area clear enabling a total available fire lane width of 20 feet. However, encroachment into the “dual use” buffer by cranes is acceptable. Any other encroachment into the “dual use” buffer will be handled on a case-by-case basis. For wharves, provide a 20-foot-wide (6.1 m) unobstructed fire lane immediately adjacent to the operating area. These requirements need not be applied to small craft or yard craft piers.” Update the Table of Contents accordingly.
