The systems are NFPA 16 foam-water deluge protecting an open process structure.

A question was raised with regard to the environmental permit and various 
system discharges to the storm sewer system.  The term used was "fire testing 
water".

Craig,

Not really. We usually have a diverter valve that sends the discharge to a tank 
that we have sucked out. I imagine you are well aware of that system and it 
sounds like they don't have this setup. Is this Hi ex foam from generators, 
AFFF with cannons or grate nozzles?

Has anyone had to test a foam sprinkler system where it was required to contain 
the discharge from the test and not let it flow into sewers or other site 
drainage systems?  Basically it had to be contained and removed from the site?
