for any construction or installation for the storage, handling, or use of
flammable or combustible liquids or liquefied petroleum gas shall be submitted
to the Department of Public Safety for approval. The drawings or blueprints
must be drawn to scale and include structural, electrical, plumbing, and
mechanical features. Approval is required before any construction or installation
may be undertaken in aboveground storage for retail sales, bulk plants, service
stations, and processing plants. Within 20 days after receipt of the

Public Safety shall examine them. If the drawings or blueprints conform to the
applicable requirements of this chapter, the representative shall approve the

drawings or blueprints do not conform to the applicable requirements, the
