Greetings to all members,
The month of June has flown by with all that has been happening within the Association. So, where do I begin?
PROPANE DAYS
This was the first year I have been to Propane Days but I promise it won’t be my last. What an exciting trip! I would
encourage anybody to go at least once, (just wear comfortable shoes). John did an excellent job in scheduling our
appointments with our Representatives. The issues included Parity with Natural Gas, Autogas, estate tax, and getting the
Dept. of Commerce to do their job in taking restrictions off PERC. We must have met with about 10 representatives just on
the first day, and then discussed the same topics with our Senators the next.
I would like to thank the following for attending Propane Days:
Amy Dean, Jordan Dean, Jeff Ruffner, Ray Moore, Ray Kazakewich, Frank Horne, Stuart Weidie, John Jessup and Rachel
Jessup. If you see them, tell them you appreciate their time and effort in looking out for our industry.
As I write this I have just returned from our Summer Meeting in Wrightsville Beach. What a great meeting Angi Harris
and the Convention Committee planned for us! I would like to thank David Donahue and Richard “Aquaman” Fredenburg
for their devoted commitment in getting cold and wet for the Mike Boggs Memorial Fund. The “Michael Boggs Memorial
Dunking Booth” was a huge success. My right arm still hurts but I have managed today to clean out the back storage closet
for Richard’s satellite office. Thanks to all who purchased dunking booth tickets to help raise money for this fund.
Our business meeting at Wrightsville Beach was very informative. I really believe that our committees are bringing the
right material to the table to benefit our members. I hope you got something out of all these reports. I know I did.
I received positive feedback on the Fuel Piping License Seminar presented by Dale Dawson and William Eubanks from
the NC State Board of Examiners. Several members told me it was exactly the type of information they need to run their
business. I would like to thank Dale and William for taking time out of their busy schedules to present the seminar.
Our NC Assessment Bill is in the House Finance Committee and is soon to be presented to the house. If you have a
representative on this committee, call them and ask them to support this important bill.
We have also heard more about the bill in the committee (HB379) that favors Natural Gas. Jon Carr, our lobbyist, along
with John Jessup and our Executive Committee as well as a few other members are working hard to get propane added to
this bill. More information will be brought to your attention as it becomes available.
Our District Meetings are getting ready to start. I strongly urge either you and some of your key employees attend these meetings.
Just bring the desire to learn; we will feed you. Just like Mrs. Kay on Duck Dynasty says “ If you feed them, they will come”.
Your Association is only a phone call away if you need info on a particular subject. Don’t forget to use this most
important instrument that is available to you. The staff looks forward to helping you out. Also, let them know you are
thankful for their dedicated work habits.
I know I was to write an article, not a book, but so many things are happening around us. So, in closing, I wish all a good
summer and I will see you again at the September Annual Convention in Asheville.

PERC Seminars Draw Crowds at ACT
An estimated 100 fleet managers and marketers jammed several seminars on the benefits of
propane autogas at the 2013 Alternative Clean Transportation Expo in Washington, D.C. last
month. The seminars were led by Tucker Perkins, chief business development officer of the
Propane Education & Research Council, and Darren Engle, marketing director of Blue Star Gas.
More than 3,000 attended the ACT Expo to walk the sold-out exhibition floor, attend training
sessions, and listen to keynote speeches from the leaders of UPS Inc. and TravelCenters of
America. A plenary session on the alternative fuel market included Roy Willis, PERC president
and CEO, and leaders from the natural gas, diesel, and electric vehicle industries. The Clean Cities Coalition, an office of the U.S.
Department of Energy dedicated to reducing the nation’s use of petroleum in transportation, celebrated its 20th anniversary at
the Expo and was a sponsor of the event. Photo by Scott Henrichsen.
Propane Mowers Donated to Mall
A donation by the Propane Education & Research Council of six propane-powered
Exmark Lazer Z S-series lawn mowers to the National Park Service drew widespread
media coverage, as the mowers will be used on the National Mall, home to the
Lincoln Memorial and other landmarks.
“This is an opportunity to showcase this technology in a place where millions of
people come every year,” Roy Willis, PERC president and CEO, told Landscape
Management. “We hope some decision makers see these propane mowers and
ask the question, ‘Why can’t we do this back home?’” In the photo, a Fox reporter
interviews Willis live before the press conference.

Want a Show & Tell
at Your School District?
(800) 111-2222
Hello! North Carolina Propane Markerters We are excited to be a part of the propane family in North Carolina and look forward to introducing ourselves to
you in the near future.
At Gregory Poole, for 65 years we have built a strong reputation on both selling and servicing of quality brands in
power systems, equipment and vehicles throughout our state with our network of service centers and affiliates.
Recently, you may have heard that we launched an initiative approaching County Schools to introduce our
authorized dealership of Blue Bird propane buses as both environmentaly and economical alternatives to diesel.
We are pleased to report, it is going very well, with the buses from two districts already proving their worth!
With school districts more than pleased to consider a form of transport with almost zero toxin emissions, the
best part of our presentaion is when we run their usage numbers into a competitive cost analysis and show their
savings! A “win-win” for both environment and balance sheet is a no-brainer!
If you have a relationship with a school district and would like us to help get them on board with Propane Buses,
call us... we’ll do what it takes to make propane their Clean Choice for Clear Savings!

PERC’s newest incentive program creates an opportunity
for you to grow your commercial and residential gallons.
It’s called the Propane Heat & Power Incentive Program and it provides a financial incentive to qualifying and selected participants who purchase
eligible propane-fueled products for commercial and residential use. In exchange, participants agree to share their experiences with PERC for
research purposes.
This research is critical because it provides PERC with valuable insights into the performance of new propane-fueled technology. These insights
lead to better products, which lead to higher adoption rates among consumers. And higher adoption rates lead to more gallons for marketers.
The attached brochure provides more detail about the program, including a list of eligible products and their incentive amounts.
To learn more about the program, visit buildwithpropane.com/heatandpower or go to the Propane Marketer Resource Catalog (Propane MaRC) at
propanemarc.com and access a library of marketing materials designed specifically for the Propane Heat & Power Incentive Program.

Compliance & Education
SOUND THE ALARM!
We spend so much time looking in NFPA 58, NFPA 54 and
the NC Fuel Gas code it is easy to forget that sometimes we
have other building codes that apply to our everyday tasks.
The Administrative Code of the North Carolina Building Code
states in 101.3.1 :
“…It shall be the responsibility of a permit holder, design
professional, contractor or occupational license holder to
determine whether any additional requirements exist”
As we are not building contractors, we seldom have to look
into the NC Residential Code. One of our members found out
the hard way that it does apply to propane marketers when
it comes to appliance installations. The company in question
was recently cited for a violation from this code. The code
cites in question are:
R315.1 Carbon monoxide alarms. In new construction,
one-and two-family dwellings and townhouses within which
fuel fired appliances or fireplaces are installed or that have
attached garages shall be provided with an approved carbon
monoxide alarm installed outside of each separate sleeping
area in the immediate vicinity of the bedroom(s) as directed
by the alarms manufacturer.
R315.2 Where required in existing dwellings. For
existing dwellings, where interior alterations, repairs,
fuel-fired appliance replacements, or additions requiring a
building permit, or where one or more sleeping rooms are
added or created, or where fuel-fired appliances or fireplaces
are added or replaced, carbon monoxide alarms shall be
provided in accordance with section 315.1.
Exception: Work involving the exterior surfaces of a
dwelling, such as the replacement of roofing or siding, or the
addition or replacement or windows or doors, or the addition
of a porch or deck, or the installation of a fuel-fired appliance
that cannot introduce carbon monoxide to the interior of the
dwelling, are exempt from the requirement of this section.
12
David Donahue
Dir. Code Compliance & Education
R315.3 Alarm requirements. The required carbon
monoxide alarms shall be audible in all bedrooms over the
background noise levels with all intervening doors closed.
Single station carbon monoxide alarms shall be listed as
complying with UL 2034 and shall be installed in accordance
with this code and the manufactures installation instructions.
Battery powered, plug-in, or hard wired alarms are acceptable
for us.
This same code has been added into the NC Fuel Gas Code
(Section 311) and the NC Mechanical Code (Section 313) with
the delayed effective date of January 1, 2015. This is part of
the code now due to its inclusion in the currently adopted
Residential Code. With recent events in the western part of
the state, carbon monoxide detectors are sure to be on the
mind of all the AHJ’s. There is even discussion in the State
Legislature to make sure every hotel room in the state is
equipped with these alarms.
I have been in discussions with the North Carolina
Department of Insurance (DOI) on this rule. In their ruling,
anytime any permit is pulled on a property and the dwelling
meets the requirements of R 315.2 then the alarm(s) are to be
installed. This is something that you will begin to see more
often when you get your final inspections.
I would like to thank everyone for their donations to the
Michael Boggs Memorial Fund. We had a goal of raising
$2000.00 at the Summer Board Meeting. With the cooperation
of Richard Fredenburg and Tim Rice we not only met but
surpassed our goal by raising $3000.00. Richard Fredenburg
jokingly stated that because of the “extra efforts” of our
President, a new inspection branch of the Department of
Agriculture will soon be located in Lumberton. Thanks Tim.

A Potpourri
of Items
With no single, big item of concern looming
over us right now, I’m going to use this
month’s article to touch on a number of things
that you may find interesting or useful.
Beware of Static and Sparks
There was an incident recently where some employees
were burned from a flash fire that occurred after
they performed routine transfers of propane from
a residential tank into the bulk tank. They used a
compressor for the transfer, and shut it down several
minutes before the fire. All seemed to be fine until they
were disconnecting hoses after the transfers for the day
were done. Some propane from the piping and hoses
was released during the hose disconnection and was
ignited. We will probably never know the source of
ignition, but two possibilities are static (unlikely because
of high humidity) or a spark that could have happened
when a steel Acme connector was dropped.
Many fittings on propane piping are brass, which reduce
the likelihood of sparks when fittings are dropped or
bumped against each other. A few devices on trucks are
required to be steel to protect against valves breaking
where they shouldn’t, but brass is a good choice for most
installations.
You may want to consider replacing steel fittings with
brass fittings wherever possible to nearly eliminate the
chance of sparks.

Hurricane Preparedness
We are already in hurricane season, which
means it’s time to review your family and business
emergency preparedness plans. A little planning can
make a big difference in case of a disaster. There are
some preparations that can be done ahead of time to
reduce losses as they relate to propane and containers.
The biggest one is to securely anchor cylinders and tanks
where flooding is a problem during and after storms.
We follow the Federal Emergency Management Agency
guidelines which state that all areas under the 100-year
flood level are subject to the securing requirement
of the LP-Gas Code section 6.6.1.6. Go to www.ncagr.
gov/standard/LP/LPgasConcerns/index.htm#Anchor
for our policy and some anchoring details. The town
of Wrightsville Beach has had a successful anchoring
ordinance for about 15 years. The town inspects every
container installation to ensure proper anchoring. They
have not had a problem with respect to lost containers.
Another precaution is to advise customers to close the
supply valve when they are evacuating. I would suggest
reminding them to close supply valves any time they
leave during hurricane season, except that they may be
subjecting themselves to a required pressure test when
they want to restore service. There is also an argument
for keeping pressure on the system to prevent deterioration.
Remember, too, that hurricanes are not just a coastal
thing. Our state has suffered significant damage from
hurricanes, including displaced propane containers,
throughout the state. You need to be aware of the 100year floodplain along inland rivers, too.

A Potpourri of Items... cont.
Composite Cylinder Recall
This is old news now, since this recall came out in late May. But it is probably good to remind those who operate or supply dispensers
to include in their training a prohibition against filling certain Lite Cylinder Company composite cylinders included in the recall. (See
www.ncagr.gov/standard/LP/LPgasConcerns/documents/CompositeCylinderRecall.pdf for the listing of numbers affected by the U.S.
Department of Transportation recall.)
The order does not give specific instructions to dispenser operators about actions to take, other than not filling these cylinders. It would
be good to advise customers with these cylinders that they may not be filled, (per the recall notice), and advised to do to comply with the
order. Basically, they are to get a qualified person to empty the cylinder and remove the valve, then return the cylinder to Lite Cylinder
Company.
Scales at Dispensers
We told you previously that calibration of scales is no longer being done by LP-Gas inspectors. This is now being handled by our Weights
and Measures inspectors. One reason was the advanced training needed for some of the new electronic scales, which the W&M inspectors
already have. This will enable LP-Gas Inspectors to get closer to meeting their inspection and reinspection goals.
Recently, we heard reports that some inspectors were saying that dispensing sites could get rid of their scales. We have not been able to
verify these reports and want to remind you that scales are necessary for filling cylinders in certain cases. Cylinders that are considered
to be “in commerce” must have their weight verified after filling is complete and the nozzle removed. Obviously, you need a scale to do
that verification.
Also, some larger cylinders do not have bleed valves. These must be filled by weight, and necessitate a scale.
Lastly, there are some rules that allow relaxation of certain separation distances if “low-emission transfer” is practiced. Scales must be
used to accomplish low-emission transfer.

Michael Boggs Memorial Fund
Fundraising EVENT
This year, at the Summer Board Meeting, we held an event unlike any other to raise funds for the
Michael Boggs Memorial Fund. NCPGA hosted a dunking booth and offered chances to dunk not just
one person but 3 different individuals: Richard Fredenburg – LP-Gas Engineer from the NC Dept. of
Agriculture, Tim Rice - 2013 NCPGA President and David Donahue – NCPGA Dir. of Code Compliance
and Education.
The Dunking Fund-raiser far surpassed anyone’s expectations, at the end of the day more than $3,000
was raised for the Mike Boggs Memorial Education Fund. We wish to take a moment to thank the
individuals who presented themselves to be dunked, and of course all of you who bought tickets!

Whats Wrong Answer: This tank is directly under electric power lines. Tanks must be at least six feet horizontally from power lines of over 600 volts. (6.4.5.12) You can see transformers
on the pole, so we are dealing with voltages higher than 120. Any time an inspector sees this, he will write a violation. You can clear it by moving the tank or by supplying documentation from the
power company that the voltage on this line is 600 volts or lower. Be sure to keep that documentation at the site for later inspections.

Save Early or Save Often
Kindly Submitted by Derek Carawan, AAMS
T
he more 401(k) plans that I see, the more it becomes obvious to me that it may be a good idea to start participation sooner rather
than later. I am going to try to put forth some basic principles on how you can do some financial self-evaluation.
Let’s say for instance that you think that you need to have $1 million saved up by age 65 in order to retire. How you came up with
this number and whether it is correct or not is another matter. I am just using this as an example to highlight some points. The table
below shows the age of the investor, # of years to retirement at age 65, and assumes a constant 6% return, and a savings goal of $1 million.
Age Yrs. until Retirement
Savings per year to reach the retirement goal
2045$4700/yr.
3035$8974/yr.
4025$18,227/yr.
5015$42,963/yr.
60 5$177,396/yr.
As you can see, it is very important to save early in order to avoid severely underfunding your retirement plan. I mean, with all the
responsibilities that we have, saving $18,227 per year could be incredibly challenging at age 40.
This is a hypothetical example and is not representative of any specific investment or scenario. Your results may vary.
Having gotten this far, let me talk about two basic thoughts on how we can draw from our nest egg. The first idea is to ideally end up with
zero at death. Of course, since we do not know when that is going to happen we have to make assumptions. The danger in this approach is
that we could easily run out of money early. This method allows for a higher income stream but allows LESS margin for error (unforeseen
expenses due to illness etc.). Here is an example of how this could play out under these assumptions: age=65 yrs. old, life expectancy 20
years and annual return of 5%. The amount of income that could be drawn out each year is $80,242 and the projected value of the account at
the end of the 20th year (age 85) would be $0.The other way to do it is to withdraw 3% or 4% (or some other percentage)of the accounts value
each year. If the average rate of return is greater than the amount being withdrawn, then the account is more likely to have money left at
the end of one’s life.
If you already have money saved up for retirement, there a little trick called the rule of 72 that may be helpful in approximating how much
you might have saved up at some point in the future. Here is how it works. Let’s say that you expect to earn 6% on your investments. If you
divide 72 by 6(%), the resulting number is an estimate of the number of years it would take for your original amount to double provided that
you did, in fact, earn 6% each and every year. This rule might also help determine what level of return that you might want to strive for.
For example, if you are 40 years old and have $100,000 saved and you want to have $1,000,000 at age 65, here are some rough estimates
created using the rule of 72.
AGE
40
52
64
Acnt. Value
Target Rate of Return Projected Number of Years to Double
$100,000
6%
12 years to grow to $200,000
$200,000
6%
24 years to grow to $400,000
$400,000 estimated value using the rule of 72 from age 40 to age 64 at 6%
The table shows that if you are willing to accept a 6% average return, you most likely will not grow your account from $100,000 to
$1,000,000 by age 65. The next table shows that if you are willing to accept the risk that comes with targeting a higher rate of return, then
by age 67 you may be closer to your objective. Now, I do not recommend that you place your retirement future in tricks or rough estimates.
But, hopefully this puts things in perspective for you. If you have any questions please feel free to contact me.
The rule of 72 is a mathematical concept and does not guarantee investment results nor functions as of a predictor of how an investment
will perform. It is an approximation of the impact of a targeted rate of return. Investments are subject to fluctuating returns and there is
no assurance that any investment will double in value.
