ALASKA MARINE TRUCKING Y1 YARD Stormwater Outfall, Anchorage, Alaska

ALASKA MARINE TRUCKING Y1 YARD is a stormwater outfall located at 660 Western Dr., Anchorage, Alaska 99501. It operates within the Anchorage Municipality and is classified under NAICS code 484110 (General Freight Trucking). As a stormwater outfall, it manages runoff from an industrial yard, discharging into local waterways. The facility operates under the US EPA NPDES MS4 permit framework, which regulates stormwater discharges from municipal separate storm sewer systems. In Alaska, the Alaska Department of Environmental Conservation (ADEC) administers these permits. The outfall likely handles runoff from trucking operations, including potential pollutants such as sediment, oil, and grease. Stormwater management at industrial sites like this is critical for protecting water quality in receiving waters, such as Cook Inlet. Proper operation and maintenance of best management practices (BMPs) help reduce pollutant loads and comply with Clean Water Act requirements.

Anchorage's stormwater discharges can impact Cook Inlet, a vital estuary supporting salmon, marine mammals, and birds. Industrial sites like this yard may contribute pollutants such as heavy metals, hydrocarbons, and sediment. The facility's location in a cold climate with snowmelt runoff poses additional challenges for stormwater management, requiring effective treatment to protect aquatic habitats.
