A & A Recycling, LLC Stormwater Outfall, Talladega, Alabama | USA

A & A Recycling, LLC is a stormwater outfall located at 221 Costner Street in Talladega, Talladega County, Alabama, United States. The facility is operational and classified under NAICS code 423930, which covers recyclable material wholesalers. As a stormwater outfall, it manages runoff from an industrial recycling site, subject to federal and state stormwater regulations. The facility operates under the US EPA National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) framework, specifically the Multi-Sector General Permit (MSGP) for industrial stormwater discharges. In Alabama, the Alabama Department of Environmental Management (ADEM) administers the NPDES program. The outfall likely handles runoff from impervious surfaces and material storage areas, with typical controls including sediment basins, oil-water separators, or filtration systems to meet water quality standards. Stormwater management at recycling facilities is critical to prevent pollutants such as metals, oils, and sediments from entering local waterways. The outfall discharges into the Coosa River basin, which supports regional water supply and aquatic habitats. Compliance with NPDES permit conditions, including monitoring and best management practices, ensures environmental protection and regulatory adherence.

The facility is located in Talladega, Alabama, within the Coosa River watershed, which drains into the Alabama River system. The region experiences a humid subtropical climate with frequent rainfall, making stormwater management essential to prevent flooding and water pollution. Industrial recycling operations can generate runoff containing metals, hydrocarbons, and suspended solids, posing risks to aquatic ecosystems if untreated. Regulatory oversight under the Clean Water Act and ADEM permits aims to minimize these impacts through structural and non-structural controls.
