Propane Meter Clearance

[Porcupinepuffer]

Still confused about clearance to meters about what is and isn't allowed. I have a propane install coming up. Two tanks were left by MacEwen with regulator and inspection form for us to do. The tanks are located nice and close to the meter. I believe it's a smart meter.  In a perfect world I'd say just keep it 10' from this and that and move on with my life, but this has been arranged by others... I recently came across this bulletin below

Between this, TSSA, and Hydro Ottawa with their requirements, I have no idea what kind of clearance I should go by.  Even this bulletin is confusing itself. They don't really give a describe a means of how to identify between certain types of meters other than their pictures they posted as examples. No explanation of what you can look for to know if a smart meter has an internal service disconnecting feature, etc... Anybody have a clear answer on this?

It's my understanding that the Enbridge inspector will ignore these changes and still follow the gas code and require either 3 feet clearance or 1 foot with an OPCO regulator.  My bet is the propane inspector will still require 10 feet as per the gas code as well.

That's the issue I have with this job coming up. They give me the papers to do the inspection myself as the inspector.

Here's the part from the bulletin that doesn't make sense to me,

Meter bases, conventional mechanical meters and conventional smart meters are not a source of ignition, and are permitted to be located within 1 metre of a natural gas discharge opening and 3 metres of a propane gas discharge opening. A meter is considered a conventional meter if it does not contain an internal service disconnecting feature.

I interpret the paragraph as still stating that the 1 meter for natural gas and 3 meters for propane still stands as a required clearance for the meters not considered a source of ignition. Which doesn't make any sense since the ones considered a source of ignition would also require the exact same clearances. Nothing less, nothing more.
