Ugg. I was trying to make the argument that you could have the bathroom in a separate fenced region that is part of the overall 'facility', but now I see that the table uses building, structure, and facility interchangeably and synonymously.

IMHO at the very least the 400 foot rule for guard shacks should apply to restricted access unoccupied facilities. This would allow workers access to the bathroom without creating an electrical safety headache.
