Variance The applicant requests a variance from Section 5-302 which requires automatic fire extinguishing systems in new construction in the I-I district, such as the manu- facturing facility proposed by the applicant under File No. 76036 (recommended for approval, on June 10) The variance comprehends two areas in the facility which are shown on the plans as "dry rooms", i.e. , rooms which have a critical controlled humidity of 1% and 5%. These mortis are production areas for the initial manufacture of special batteries, where a, basic raw material is the metal Lithium. 4% The incorripatibility of Lithl 4UM with water, and the reiated hazards are extensively set forth iin the attached documents which include material from the National Fire Protection Association. The need for a variance Is based upon the finding that the recognized materials used jo_juoyess Lithi um-involved fires cannot be broadcast through automatic extinguish- ing syste.'(Ps. The issue Is not merel,,,-, that water cannot be used, but that current technology does not include automatic systems for the proper materials (the Ordinance requires �,n automatic system, which may or may not use water). The balance of the building would be equipped) with the required automatic system. ,A, public hearing has been scheduled. The Ord)-riance, Section 5-303 , provides the follov..?ing with respect to variances: Yhe Board of Adjustments and Appeals may recommend and the City Council may gre,,,_,nt variances from the literal provisions of this ordinance in instances where their stfict enforcement would cause undue hardship because of circumstances unique and dUs-'Linctive to the specific property or use up-der consideration.

The conditions upon which t-13.e applicatJon for a variance is based are unique to the parcel of land or the use thereof for which the variance is sought and are not common, generally, to other property or uses thereof within the same zoning classification; 3. The granting of the variance will not be detrimental to the public welfare or injurious to other property or improvements in the naighborhood. We have reviewed the circumstances and information and feel the request is in order. TChe acting Fire Chief has also reviewed the plans and we have met with the applicant to discuss the nature of the operation and the hazards. Approval wo?ad be subject to the following: I . The variance is granted for the spebtfic use proposed, namely production of batteries involving the use of raw Lithium metal, and is for the specific areas designated on the plans as "dry rooms 2. The variance is granted for the duration of this use in the designated areas; and automatic fire extinguishing system shall be provided in those areas when said use ceases, upon change of ownership, occupancy, or operations. 3. The owner shall provide ongoing opportunities for training of Fire Department personnel in the familiarization of the use and handling of Lithium, the potential hazards and the effective means of coping with Lithium and related materials in an emergency,environment. 4. The owner shall provide: alternate supplemental signaling and alarm devices, it conjunction with the required auto-- , matic system for the balance of the premises,* on-site extinguishing equipment and waterials; and emergency procedures as deemed appropriate by the City Fire and Inspection Departments. vVe will. be prepared to discuss the matter in detail and to offer a draft resolution comprehending the above. ON-fr_ -OFFICE MEMO 1159-76-RLD Ajedironic r0: Kermit Reed_trom '? %I� R. L. Doty DATE:: May 27 , 1976 SUBJECT: FLL77-24ABLE MATERIALS USED IN MAKING LI`T'HIUM BATTERIES The assembly of lithium cells into completed pacemaker batteries will be done in two controlled humidity dry rooms . One at �1% relative humidity and the other at _So relative humidity. The 1% RH room is needed for the initial operations wherein lithium is being handled openly. Lithium is such a vigorously reactive metal that if it is exposed to normal humid air, it will corrode so quickly that one can watch it change fr.o,i a clean, shiny sur- face to a dark corroded surface in a few seconds . If exposed directly to liquid water, - this reaction can be almost instan- taneous . The bvpr.oducts of this reaction ar- oxidized lithium, hydrogen gas and heat. Under some conditions , the amount of heat released can be enough to ignite the hydrogen gas resulting in a 'Lire or explosion. Thus, wherever lit.hi, rni is being used , water can not be used as a fire extinguishing agent. In the 1% room it would be necessary to rely on a special kind of fire extin- guishing substance - "Lith-X" . The other fire extinguishing substances i .e . CO2 , foam, dry powder, etc . are not effective on lithium fires. "Lith-X" is basically powdered graphite that would be either sprayed or simply dumped on the particular piece of lithium that was on fire; a problem that is extremely unlike- Iv to occur in the first place since it takes the external appli- cation of a considerable amount of heat to cause lithium itself to ignite. Thus, so long as water is kept away from lithium, one is not likely to have any fires and, even if you did, water is not the extinguishing agent to apply. The pieces of lithium are small , about 2 . 5 cm diameter and are <0 . 5 gram in weight. At each work station there would be about 25 of these pieces exposed at a time . The number of work stations would be three- twelve deend:i.ng on production levels . The only flammable organic solvents present would be very small quantities of tetrahydr.of_uran ('IHF) (appr.oxiriately 50-100cc) in about two - four locations and small quantities of hexane (approximately 500cc) in t1iree - six locations .

Meek Re: Lithium Battery Manufacturing Index No. 61207.03 Account No. 1-72674 Gentlemen: This will acknowledge receipt of your letter indicating the process by which the lithium batteries will be produced. The lithium cells will be*' used to power pacemakers which are manufactured at your plant. The lithium batteries will be assembled in two controlled humidity dry rooms. One at less than or equal to 1 percent relative humidity and the other at less than or equal to 5 percent relative humidity. The 1 percent RH (relative hu- midity) room is needed because the' lithium will be handled openly. Very small quantities (500 cc or less) of flammable liquids such as hexane, tetrahydrofuran and acetone will be used in both rooms. The 5 percent RH room will be used in operations when the lithium is enclosed in a partially completed cell. Sprinklers are not planned for either room as lithium reacts quite vigorously with water. Ventilation is planned for both rooms as flammable liquids are being used. Fire prevention measures to be incorporated into the design are: 1. Dry chemical extinguishers placed in the 5 percent RH room. "Lith-X" will be available in the 1 percent RH room. This is basically a powdered graphite which can be used to smother any lithium fire. 2. Furnishings of both rooms are to be non-combustible. 3• All solvent containers to be tightly closed at night. 4. Metal desiccators are available to place lithium parts and partially assembled t) cells should the air dryer system be turned off. 5. Flammable liquid storage cabinets are to be used for all flammable liquids. 6. All lithium stock is to be stored in the presence of an inert gas (Argon) until introduced to the production area.
