obstruction, trees, building, structure, etc., to allow free
access of natural ventilation air to the crawl space, and to
allow access for snow and ice removal.
2.1.8
Pollution Permits. The preliminary design should
include the initiation of air and water pollution permit
applications.
2.1.9
Contaminated Soil. As a result of several
firefighting trainer sites having contaminated soil, evaluate
selected firefighting trainer sites for soil and groundwater
contamination during the planning stage of the project. Permits
may be required for the site cleanup.
2.1.10
Design for Accessibility of Physically Handicapped
Personnel. Provisions for physically handicapped personnel are
not required in firefighting training facilities. Firefighting
trainers are required to be designed for able-bodied naval
personnel.
2.1.11
Energy Conservation. Normal building energy
conservation measures are not a consideration in the
firefighting facilities because of the facilities application,
i.e., because heat is generated by the fires, energy
conservation measures are not feasible. Energy studies are not
required to be performed for firefighting trainers because the
trainers are the same as trainers at other locations, and each
trainer has the same mechanical and electrical systems. The one
area of the firefighting facilities that will have conditioned
air is the instructor station and the electrical room, which
should be designed to conserve energy in compliance with the
latest techniques and applicable standards. Refer also to
MIL-HDBK-1190, Facility Planning and Design Guide.
2.1.12
Design Similarity. Design and construct firefighting
training structures the same from site to site (i.e.,
firefighting training structures should have the same internal
dimensions, internal arrangements, similar functions, similar
equipment, etc.). Design similarity is required to ensure that
all naval personnel are exposed to similar training
environments.
