3) Looking at FPD.1, there is a blur of words at the top of the standpipe. Does this show a gauge? 14:5.5.1

Thursday, July 14, 2022 Response to comments indicate "Pressure gauge is located at the top of each standpipe. Please see the standpipe cross sections shown in the details sheet."

There is still a blur of words. Is this what you are referencing or is this on another page? If the tiny blurred together words reference gauges,  clean up the print because it is not legible. If not, identify which page and location on page to find this. 

 

4) Where is the valve to isolate each stand pipe? 14:6.3.1.4.1

Thursday, July 14, 2022 Response to comments indicate "Isolation valves are shown on the bulk standpipe layout sheet. Also each isolation valve is labeled in the keynotes section of the drawing."
