However, you did not provide any specific information on the hazardous materials\ninvolved or the methods your company may use to achieve separation. The requirement for\nseparation or non-adjacent loading is considered satisfied if the packages are separated in such\na manner (for example, by using barriers, packages of non-hazardous materials, or intervening\nspace) that their contents would not commingle in the event of leakage under conditions\nnormally incident to transportation.\nI hope this satisfies your request.\nSincerely,\nSuhan ABillio\nDelmer F.
