4001.3.1 Special approval for distilleries with widely-separated operations.
FC § 4001.3.1
The department, in its discretion, may approve alternative design, installation, operational and maintenance standards, including alcohol storage in excess of 20,000 gallons (75 700 L), on a case-by-case basis, for any distillery housed in a detached building exclusively occupied for such purpose, which, by reason of its size (floor area and ceiling height) is able to mitigate the hazards associated with the distilling process by maintaining substantial separation between its stills and other distillery equipment and between its distilled spirits processing area and other distillery operations. The department may apply distilled spirits industry design standards for such distilleries, in whole or in part, in light of the distillery's design, construction and location.
