Distance
Purpose of ESQD - CORRECT ANSWERS ✔✔Ensure the
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
highest reasonable degree of safety and operational
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
readiness
Reduce the probability of injury, property damage, and
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
most importantly, loss of life
|\ |\ |\ |\
Four categories of ESQD - CORRECT ANSWERS
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
✔✔Inhabited building distance (IBD) |\ |\ |\
Public traffic route distance (PTRD)
|\ |\ |\ |\
Intraline Distance (ILD) |\ |\
Intermagazine distance (IMD) |\ |\
Inhabited building distance - CORRECT ANSWERS ✔✔The
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
minimum distance permitted between an inhabited
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
building and an ammunition or explosives location for the
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
protection of administration, quarters, industrial and
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
other similar areas within a naval shore establishment.
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
Inhabited building distances shall be provided between
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
, ammunition or explosives locations and the boundary of a |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
shore establishment of the nearest point beyond the
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
boundary where such inhabited structures could be |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
erected.
Public traffic route distance - CORRECT ANSWERS ✔✔The
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
minimum distance permitted between an ammunition or |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
explosives location and any public street, road, highway, |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
navigable stream, or passenger railroad (includes roads |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
on a military reservation that are used routinely by the
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
general public for through traffic). |\ |\ |\ |\
Intraline distance (ILD) - CORRECT ANSWERS ✔✔The
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
distance to be maintained between any two operating
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
buildings and sites within an operating line, of which at
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
least one contains or is designed to contain explosives.
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
The distance from a service magazine for the line to the
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
nearest operating building shall be not less than the
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
intraline distance required for the quantity of explosives
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
contained in the service magazine. |\ |\ |\ |\
Intermagazine Distance (IMD) - CORRECT ANSWERS |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
✔✔The minimum distance permitted between explosive
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
locations, as prescribed for various types and quantities
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
of explosives. This distance should prevent propagation
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
by blast. |\
