AL HWY 159 & FAYETTE CO RD #4 BORROW PIT Stormwater Outfall, Fayette, Alabama

AL HWY 159 & FAYETTE CO RD #4 BORROW PIT is a stormwater outfall located at the intersection of AL Highway 159 and County Road 4 in Fayette, Alabama. This facility manages stormwater runoff from a borrow pit and adjacent roadways, operating under the regulatory framework of the US Clean Water Act and Alabama's NPDES MS4 permit program. As a stormwater outfall, this facility discharges collected stormwater into local waterways. The site is classified under NAICS 212399 (Other Nonmetallic Mineral Mining and Quarrying), indicating an industrial catchment that may include sediment and other pollutants typical of mining operations. Stormwater management at such sites often involves best management practices (BMPs) like sediment basins and erosion controls to meet permit requirements. The outfall plays a role in managing runoff from the borrow pit and highway infrastructure, helping to prevent localized flooding and erosion. Its location in Fayette County, Alabama, places it within a region where stormwater management is critical for protecting water quality in receiving streams, which may ultimately drain into the Tombigbee River basin.

The outfall discharges stormwater from a borrow pit and highway area, which can carry sediment, heavy metals, and other pollutants from mining and road runoff. Alabama's NPDES MS4 program requires permits for such discharges to protect water quality. The receiving waterbody may be impaired by sediment or other stressors common in mining regions, necessitating erosion and sediment control measures to minimize environmental impact.
