The problem is that the burner is under the canopy, the canopy is protected with sprinklers. the Sprinkler heads will activate at 155° F. The burner puts out more heat than 155°F. The guys PW fire will be put out. The FD shows up and has a talk with the pressure washer.
Either I was told wrongly (though I did question the guy repeatedly just to make sure) or other states have much stronger regulations than Texas. I've seen many times people talk about how someone didn't reclaim the water and how that's a big no-no. Well, according to the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (phone #: 512-239-1000) as long as chemicals/oils do not go down drains they don't care about power washing. The water carrying dirt and fungus that are being washed away are looked upon very much like rain water.
Now, maybe the guy I talked to was full of it, but from my understanding (in Texas) one doesn't have to reclaim water if chemicals/oils won't go down the drains. Anyone in Texas care to point me to documentation that shows otherwise?
That is 3:30 in Arizona? Looks like very early morning, where is the raging Desert Sun?
Adam, you need to ask the EPA guy in the Stormwater department, that is who I talked to here about it. That is the department (here) that tells you all about the CWA and what they want you to do to be in compliance.
Not sure what that department in your area would be called but I don't think it would be the TCEQ.
Here it is the Stormwater department as the stormwater drains go out into the Corpus Christi Bay.
