Kaneohe propane storage is governed by ROH Chapter 20's adoption of NFPA 1 Ch. 69 and NFPA 58. HFD permits are required; containers or aggregated capacity of 125 gallons water capacity or more need plan review and bollards if near vehicle traffic.
Propane and LP-gas installations in Kaneohe are regulated under ROH Chapter 20 through NFPA 1 Chapter 69 and NFPA 58. HFD permits are required under NFPA 1 Sec. 69.1.2 for new installations and substantive modifications. Any container, or aggregated containers at a site, with a water capacity of 125 gallons or more must be submitted to the AHJ for plan review, including setback, ventilation, and anchoring details. Containers exposed to vehicular traffic within 10 feet of a public way need impact protection (bollards). Cylinders must be upright, secured, and kept away from ignition sources. Multi-family and commercial setups face closer scrutiny given site density.
Unpermitted or unsafe installations can be red-tagged by HFD, cited under Chapter 20, and blocked from receiving certificates of occupancy or completion.
