RE: Response to Plan Review Comments in Regards to above listed project:
rl
1. Dry wall partition shall be constructed metal studs and Type "X" Gypsum board. This will provide a 1 hr fire rating. Existing
walls are a minimum 1 hr fire rated. Ceiling shall be constructed with fire treated plywood. (See attached spec)
2. New plywood shall be fire treated. (See attached spec)
3. See attached Spec.
4. Doors will be UL Rated with a min. of 1 HR (Hardware by Owner).
5. See attached.
6. All ducts to be installed and constructed per SMACNA and International Mechanical Code. Since all ducts are located within
the conditioned space, ductwork is therefore, insulated with R-4.2 insulation. Since this is considered an unoccupied,
telecom equipment room no outside air is provided. Since the actual airflow rate for the unit is 1,750 CFM (less than 2,000
CFM), there is not a smoke detector. Only one unit will operate at one time so maximum airflow rate is 1,750 CFM.
7. See attached spec.
8. No insulation shall be used.
9. Egress lighting is provided with combination exit/emergency lights with battery backup. Lighting fixtures have been relocated
from wall to suspend above and located to avoid contact with live parts while in service as required by the NEC. Automatic
controls are not included in the rooms due to the safety hazard related to loss of illumination. Service activities are performed
behind equipment and providing automatic lighting controls can endanger service personnel safety.
10. Finish shall match existing walls. Existing Concrete floor to remain.
11. No sprinklers are to be disturbed. A FM -200 canister shall be placed in the room.
12. Building standard hardware shall be used (Hardware by Owner).
13. Certificates of compliance are attached.
14. Per section 1103.2.9 (Equipment Spaces) of the 2006 IBC Communications equipment rooms are not required to be
accessible.

Enctineerinci Controls
Use ventilation as necessary to keep exposure to airborne contaminants below the exposure limits. Due to the explosive
potential of wood dust when suspended in air, ventilation systems should be kept clean and precautions should be taken
to prevent sparks or other ignition sources.
Personal Protective Equipment (PPE)
Eye / Face Protection: When sawing, cutting, sanding, grinding, routing or chipping wood wear safety glasses with side
shields.
Skin Protection: When sawing, cutting, sanding, grinding, routing or chipping wood, wear clothing that covers the skin —
long pants, long sleeve shirts, hat, gloves and shoes. When simply handling the product gloves should be worn to protect
from splinters.
Respiratory Protection: When sawing, cutting, sanding, grinding, routing or chipping wood, actions that can generate
wood dust, a dust mask should be worn.
General Hygiene Considerations: Wash thoroughly after handling and before eating, drinking, or smoking. Launder
clothing worn when generating wood dust before reuse.

PYRO-GUARD® Treated Wood
Possibility of Hazardous Reactions: None known.
No specific toxicological data is available on the fire retardant wood itself. However, considerable information is available
regarding the toxicity of its components and untreated wood. The presence of the fire retardant in the treated wood or
wood dust is not expected to affect its inherent toxicity characteristics.
Carcinogenicity: PYRO-GUARD® Treated Wood and its components are not listed as carcinogens by ACGIH, NIOSH, of
IARC. Wood dust is classified as a carcinogen by ACGIH, NIOSH, and IARC. This classification is based on an increased
incidence of nasal and paranasal cancer in people exposed to wood dusts. Carcinogenicity of wood dust: ACGIH — Al
Confirmed Human Carcinogen (related to wood dusts -hard wood; NIOSH — Occupational carcinogen (related to wood
dust); IARC -- Monograph 62, 1995 (related to wood dust)(Group 1 (carcinogenic to humans)).
Wood Dust:
Wood dust (softwood or hardwood): OSHA Hazard Rating = 3.3; moderately toxic with probable oral lethal dose to
humans being 0.5-5 g/kg (about 1 pound for a 70 kg or 150 pound person). Source: OSHA Regulated Hazardous
Substances, Government Institutes, Inc., February 1990,
Carcinogenicity Listing:
O NTP: Wood dust, Known Human Carcinogen
IFI IARC Monographs: Wood dust, Group 1
❑ OSHA Regulated: Not listed
NTP: According to its Tenth Report on Carcinogens, NTP states, "Wood dust is known to be a human carcinogen based
on sufficient evidence of carcinogenicity from studies in humans. An association between wood dust exposure and
cancer of the nose has been observed in many case reports, cohort studies, and case -control studies that specifically
addressed nasal cancer. Strong and consistent associations with cancer of the nasal cavities and paranasal sinuses
were observed both in studies of people whose occupations are associated with wood dust exposure and in studies
that directly estimated wood dust exposure."
IARC — Group I: Carcinogenic to humans; sufficient evidence of carcinogenicity. This classification is primarily based on
studies showing an association between occupational exposure to wood dust and adenocarcinoma to the nasal
cavities and paranasal sinuses. IARC did not find sufficient evidence of an association between occupational
exposure to wood dust and cancers of the oropharynx, hypopharynx, lung, lymphatic and hematopoietic systems,
stomach, colon or rectum.
Nitrogen is a critical element for plant growth and a basic constituent of proteins. In excess, however, it can make soil
conditions less favorable for plant growth, damage aquatic life, and impair human health.
Phosphorus is an essential nutrient for plants and animals; however, excessive accumulation of nutrients can represent
too much of a good thing, especially in water bodies such as lakes, streams and estuaries. Loading of nutrients to
surface waters causes changes in ecological function, and often has undesirable environmental and economic
consequences.
Borates have an excellent reputation for safety. In trace amounts, they're essential micronutrients for plants and believed
to be nutritionally important for people. In extreme doses, they can make you ill. As perspective, borates are about as
acutely toxic as table salt. The United States Food and Nutrition Board (FNB) recently recognized the safety of boron by
establishing a Tolerable Upper Intake Level (UL) for boron of 20 milligrams per day.
Eutrophication is the enrichment of freshwater and marine systems with nutrients, particularly nitrogen and phosphorus.
