DAR File No.: 30574
Filed: 10/11/2007, 03:50
Received by: NLRULE ANALYSIS
Purpose of the rule or reason for the change:
The Division is proposing changes to the rule to adopt amendments to the building codes approved by the Uniform Building Code Commission after review by various subcommittees.
Summary of the rule or change:
Subsection R156-56-202(1) is a technical change to correct outdated statutory references. In Section R156-56-401, moved Daniels designation of DAN to correct column. Subsection R156-56-801(47) is a technical correction clarifying when alternative wind design procedures may be used. Subsections R156-56-801(58) and R156-56-820(4) are technical corrections to clarify the requirement that an engineer's recommendation for corrective action must be implemented when deficient conditions are found in certain buildings undergoing remodeling. Subsections R156-56-803(52) and (56) are additions to the rule which allow tested air admittance valves to be used in limited circumstances such as labs using a chemical waste and vent system. In Subsection R156-56-903(1), Salt Lake City has requested approval of a local amendment which allows gray water recycling in certain nonresidential buildings. Gray water recycling allows nonhazardous wastewater from limited sources such as laundries, showers, or baths to be used for flushing of toilets and urinals within the same building.
State statutory or constitutional authorization for this rule:
Section 58-56-1 and Subsections 58-1-106(1)(a), 58-1-202(1)(a), 58-56-4(2), and 58-56-6(2)(a)
Anticipated cost or savings to:
the state budget:
The Division has determined that there should be no direct effect on the state budget as a result of the proposed amendments other than minimal costs to affected state agencies who need to reprint the rule once the proposed amendments are made effective.
local governments:
The division has determined that there should be no direct effect on local governments except as noted below. Any net effect will be minimal.
small businesses and persons other than businesses:
The division has determined the technical changes will not result in any significant impact on any party. It is unknown how many persons these proposed amendments will affect or the cost of implementation; therefore, it is impossible to determine an aggregate impact. The change to allow air admittance valves in certain applications will result in savings in certain types of buildings such as labs which handle chemicals. This results in a savings to construct redundant venting to outside air. It is impossible to estimate the savings per building or other number of building that this amendment would affect. The local amendment for Salt Lake City will allow for installation of gray water recycling in certain nonresidential buildings. Gray water recycling has not previously been allowed within Utah buildings and would be considered experimental at this time in Utah, although it has been successfully implemented in other jurisdictions such as Las Vegas. At this time the cost to add gray water recycling systems would be substantial and would likely cost substantially more than the cost of the water that it would save. However, as demand for water increases particularly in drier locations, methods of recycling water need to be explored. Codes and rules for how these types of recycling projects would be constructed and monitored have previously been adopted for potential use. This would be the first instance in Utah when those codes are adopted by a local jurisdiction. Existing rules already provide for added monitoring by the Utah Department of Environmental Quality and the Department of Health if such a system is constructed. The Salt Lake City local amendment may result in higher installation costs and ongoing maintenance costs for a limited number of persons but those persons would only voluntarily commit to the additional costs. No one is required to use a gray water recycling system under the code. But if they voluntarily choose to implement such a system, they are required to expend additional costs to assure the health and safety of such a system. It is impossible for the division to determine potential costs of such a system until it is actually designed.
Compliance costs for affected persons:

Comments by the department head on the fiscal impact the rule may have on businesses:
This rule filing permits the use of tested air admittance valves in limited circumstances, which is expected to result in cost savings to the construction industry and owners of buildings. The filing also approves Salt Lake City's request for a local amendment permitting gray water recycling in nonresidential buildings, which is costly but optional. Finally, the rule filing makes various technical amendments which are not expected to result in any fiscal impact to businesses. Francine A. Giani, Executive Director

NOTES
(1) The IBC requires a minimum live load - See 1607.11.2.
(2) This table is informational only in that actual site
elevations may vary. Table is only valid if site elevation is
within 100 feet of the listed elevation.(45) Section 1608.1.3 is added as follows:
1608.1.3 Thermal Factor. The value for the thermal factor, Ct, used in calculation of pf shall be determined from Table 7.3 in ASCE 7.
Exception: Except for unheated structures, the value of Ct need not exceed 1.0 when ground snow load, Pg is calculated using Section 1608.1.2 as amended.
(46) Section 1608.2 is deleted and replaced with the following:
1608.2 Ground Snow Loads. The ground snow loads to be used in determining the design snow loads for roofs in states other than Utah are given in Figure 1608.2 for the contiguous United States and Table 1608.2 for Alaska. Site-specific case studies shall be made in areas designated CS in figure 1608.2. Ground snow loads for sites at elevations above the limits indicated in Figure 1608.2 and for all sites within the CS areas shall be approved. Ground snow load determination for such sites shall be based on an extreme value statistical analysis of data available in the vicinity of the site using a value with a 2-percent annual probability of being exceeded (50-year mean recurrence interval). Snow loads are zero for Hawaii, except in mountainous regions as approved by the building official.
(47) In Section 1609.1.1 a new exception number 5 is added as follows:
