English term or phrase: fire water run off containment

I know what they mean, but am having trouble finding the correct terminology in German:

Bunding and fire water run off containment to be in compliance with Fire and Environmental Legislation

And if someone has a better idea for "bunding" than "Stützmauer" be my guest ;-)

Further context: This sentence appears in specifications for a factory in the section "fire protection"

Thanks!
