Tim,
Try looking at FM Global Data Sheet 8-7 (Baled Fiber Storage) or Data Sheet
8-22 (Storage of Baled Waste Paper) which has some Fire Sprinkler protection
Information. I know they are more stringent then NFPA but its a starting (or
ending) point. There are other Data sheets that might cover what you are
looking for.

I did one of these a while back. There is no good information in the Standards
about this (unless there is something new). The problem is this could end up as
a deep seated fire and the only real way to extinguish it is to pull all of the
stuff out, look for hot spots and hit them with a hose. The closest thing I
found was a vague reference to fire in piles of wood chips.
If you want to talk about it, give me a call sometime tomorrow

A local Solid Waste Company is building a new warehouse style building for
receiving, Sorting, Bailing and short term storage of recyclables. Mechanical
Sorting (Roughly 40,000 SF), will be used to sort Plastics, Paper/Cardboard and
metal.
Storage will consist Bailed Paper, Bailed Plastic and Bailed Aluminum. Top of
storage shall not exceed 15’-0 high. Roughly 27,000 SF of Storage. The bails
are wrapped with metal bands or wire.
I am having trouble locating NFPA 13 information concerning storage of Bailed
Materials and or deign information over the Processing/Sorting machinery.
