AL HWY 233/CORRIDOR X BORROW PIT is a stormwater outfall located at 4934 AL HWY 233 in Winfield, Marion County, Alabama. This facility manages stormwater runoff from a borrow pit operation, which involves excavation of soil and rock for construction. As a stormwater outfall, it discharges collected stormwater into local waterways, and its operations are subject to the Clean Water Act and EPA's NPDES MS4 permit program. The facility operates under the NAICS codes 212325 (Clay and Ceramic and Refractory Minerals Mining) and 212399 (All Other Nonmetallic Mineral Mining), indicating its industrial catchment. Stormwater outfalls in such settings typically manage runoff from disturbed areas, stockpiles, and haul roads. The regulatory framework requires compliance with stormwater pollution prevention plans (SWPPP) and best management practices (BMPs) to control erosion and sedimentation. Located in rural Alabama, the outfall discharges into nearby streams that may feed into the Tennessee River basin. Proper management of stormwater from borrow pits is critical to prevent sediment-laden runoff from impacting water quality and aquatic habitats. The facility's operational status ensures ongoing monitoring and maintenance to meet permit requirements and protect local water resources.
Environmental context
