e) Alternative AFFF surrogate agents may be available
to reduce or eliminate local effluent discharge problems.
Although discharge limits will vary at each trainer location,
LANTNAVFACENGCOM Code 1811 has conducted a study of several
agents to determine amounts of each which can be discharged as
part of the effluent stream for the Fleet Training Center (FTC)
Norfolk facilities. This information is available upon request
from Mr. Ken Clark, Mr. Steve Azar, or Mr. Jim Bailey at
(804) 322-4736 or DSN 262-4736.
f) Modifications to the pretreatment process
described below may be required to comply with local discharge
limitations. If pretreatment is not required by local
authorities, it may be deleted.
