Section 20:10:11:13 - Specifications for temporary public grain storage units

A temporary public grain storage unit is defined as a public grain warehouse which does not have a roof, permanent foundation, or sidewalls which are permanently attached to the foundation. Each temporary public grain storage unit must be bonded and licensed and must meet the following specifications:

(1) Each temporary storage unit must contain aeration equipment;

(2) Each temporary storage unit must have an asphalt, concrete, compacted limestone, or fly ash base which meets the following minimum specifications;

(a) Any base must be of such depth and compaction as to permit trucks or other heavy equipment used in loading or unloading to move over the base without breaking, cracking, sinking in, or chipping the base;

(b) The depth of a limestone base must be at least 4 inches;

(c) The slope of any base must be sufficient to allow for proper drainage from the center to the edge of the base; and

(d) Drainage away from the base must be provided to prevent any water from standing or backing up underneath the grain;

(3) The grain stored within a temporary storage unit must maintain a peak, angle, or arc which will provide drainage from the top over the sidewalls so that no pockets of water form on top of the grain;

(4) The temporary storage unit must be covered with a cover strong enough to resist tearing under normal use and weather conditions and to allow a person to walk on the cover without penetrating it;

(5) Covered storage must be constructed in such a way as to provide for air flow through the grain;

(6) All temporary storage units must have rigid self-supporting sidewalls;

(7) A warehouse operator must maintain a separate record of all grain stored in a temporary storage unit and must account for that grain in the daily position record; and

(8) A warehouse operator shall notify the commission prior to storing grain in a newly constructed temporary storage unit.

The commission may inspect finished construction of all new temporary public grain storage units before grain is stored in the unit. The warehouse licensee must remedy any specifications that are not in compliance with this rule before grain is stored within the unit.

A warehouse licensee who is in violation of the specifications in this section will be ordered by the commission to comply.
