Fuel gas permit in Maple Valley, Washington

Maple Valley requires a fuel gas permit for: MAPLE VALLEY GIVES EACH GAS CODE ITS OWN NUMBERED SECTION, WHICH NO OTHER CITY IN THIS SET DOES: MVMC 15.05.090 International Fuel Gas Code, 15.05.100 National Fuel Gas Code (NFPA 54), and 15.05.110 Liquefied Petroleum Gas Code (NFPA 58). Elsewhere these standards are named inside a mechanical adoption sentence, if at all.; NFPA 58 GETS ITS OWN NUMBERED SECTION HERE, WHICH NO OTHER CITY IN THIS SET DOES, AND IT NAMES 2020 WHILE EVERYTHING AROUND IT NAMES 2021. MVMC 15.05.110: “There is adopted … that certain code known as the Liquefied Petroleum Gas Code, 2020 Edition, as adopted by the State Building Code Council in Chapter 51-52 WAC, as published by NFPA.” The National Fuel Gas Code (NFPA 54) has its own section at 15.05.100 in the same form. >>> FIVE CITIES IN THIS SERIES NOW NAME AN NFPA 58 EDITION AND THEY SPLIT FOUR TO ONE: Lake Stevens, Issaquah, Walla Walla and Maple Valley say 2020; University Place says 2021. A MAJORITY IS NOT AN ADJUDICATION and this entry does not treat it as one — the error that started this thread was never a miscount, it was letting agreement end the search. >>> AND THE ATTRIBUTION IS CHECKABLE, SO IT WAS CHECKED, AND IT DID NOT CORROBORATE. Maple Valley attributes the 2020 edition to the State Building Code Council's adoption in Chapter 51-52 WAC. WAC 51-52-003, read at app.leg.wa.gov on 2026-09-16, adopts only “The 2021 edition of the International Mechanical Code” and contains NO occurrence of “NFPA”. THAT NEITHER CONFIRMS NOR REFUTES THE 2020 VALUE: the chapter's exception sections and the mechanical code's own referenced-standards list were NOT read, and NFPA 58 may reach the city through either. What is established is only that the section Maple Valley points at does not itself name NFPA 58.; WITHIN THIS ONE CHAPTER THE EDITION YEARS SORT BY PUBLISHER, WHICH IS THE SECOND CITY TO SHOW THAT PATTERN IN ITS OWN TEXT. The ICC and IAPMO documents are all 2021 — IBC, IRC, UPC, IMC — while the NFPA document is 2020. Walla Walla shows the same split inside a single sentence. It is consistent with two standards bodies running separate revision cycles, and IT IS RECORDED AS A HYPOTHESIS AND NOT A FINDING, because University Place names NFPA 58 at 2021 and contradicts it, and because two cities agreeing is a sample of two.; MAPLE VALLEY NAMES ITS YEARS AND PUBLISHES NO ROLLING CLAUSE, WHICH IS UNUSUAL IN THIS SET, AND THE ABSENCE IS MEASURED RATHER THAN ASSUMED. A regular expression for the usual rolling formulations (“as now or hereafter amended”, “hereafter be amended”, “as presently constituted”, “as the same exists”, “as now in effect”, “as amended from time to time”, “as now existing”, “subsequently amended”) returns ZERO matches across the whole of Chapter 15.05 (31,082 characters) AND the whole of Chapter 15.01 (12,306 characters). A control term fired 11 times in the first and 85 in the second, so the search was alive and the zero is real. Walla Walla taught that a roll can hide in a section of its own; that check was run here and found nothing. >>> SO THE ENTRY RECORDS TWO READINGS AND ADJUDICATES NEITHER. On its face the adoption is named-and-static: each section names an edition and nothing says it moves. But every adopting sentence also reads “as adopted by the State Building Code Council in Chapter 51-xx WAC”, and that reference can be read as incorporating the state chapter, which does move. USEFULLY, THE TWO READINGS AGREE TODAY, AND THAT IS CHECKED AGAINST THE STATE SOURCE RATHER THAN ASSUMED: Chapter 51-52 WAC is titled “STATE BUILDING CODE ADOPTION AND AMENDMENT OF THE 2021 EDITION OF THE INTERNATIONAL MECHANICAL CODE” and WAC 51-52-003 reads “The 2021 edition of the International Mechanical Code published by the International Code Council is hereby adopted by reference”, read at app.leg.wa.gov on 2026-09-16. The city's named 2021 and the state's current adoption are the same edition, so the ambiguity is not biting at present.; MVMC 15.01.020 requires the City to “at all times keep on file with the City Clerk, for reference by the general public” copies of the adopted codes. With no rolling clause published, that filed copy is the practical way to establish which text the city is working from.; Appeal provisions sit at MVMC 15.01.035.

The 2020 Edition, named at MVMC 15.05.110, which attributes it to the State Building Code Council's adoption in Chapter 51-52 WAC. Two cautions. Washington cities disagree: Lake Stevens, Issaquah and Walla Walla also say 2020, while University Place says 2021. And the attribution does not check out on its face — WAC 51-52-003 adopts only the 2021 International Mechanical Code and contains no reference to NFPA, though the chapter's exceptions and the mechanical code's own referenced standards were not read. Confirm with the Building Official.
