Ray, NFPA 30 or even 30B if you have any aerosols is a good place to start. If you don't find anything to your liking, you may also want to review the applicable FM Data Sheets on Flammable and Combustible Liquids to see if they have a protection scheme to match your situation.

NFPA-434 doesn't give prescriptove requiremetns or a definitive path to follow. It only indicates a risk analysis be done by a "competent individual" (I read PE or FPE) to determine the extent and type of fire protection to be provide. Without regard to storage arrangement and heights, what TYPE of commodity would be appropriate to consider, since the amount stored is over 10,000 lbs and is extermely varied in the types and configurations of products to be stored? I am leaning towards NFPA-30 "Flammable and Combustible Liquids" to begin my analysis, but would like the opinions of anyone who has had experience with this process.
