If that's a question, the answer is that letting sprinkler water hit the ocean is definitely illegal in San Diego County, it might even be a felony for haz-mat dumping. We send sprinkler discharge to the sewer system as a standard practice now; if you don't have a sanitary sewer at this facility, the capture and remove option would likely be the simplest compliant approach. Simple until you need to test the alarm or use the drain, I mean.

Rumors from time to time about drain lines and where the water is permitted to go we hear in the other 48 state (CO being the 49th where I hear rumors). Let's say I have a dry system on a pier and the ITV at the remote end is over the ocean. Can I just let it drain to grade (which will shortly end up in the ocean)? Does it need to be captured and trucked off site for 'safe' disposal? Now if there is a little AFFF residue in there? What about the 2" main drain on the dry valve that will also be over water?
