ALASKA WASTE ANCHORAGE Stormwater Outfall, Anchorage, Alaska

ALASKA WASTE ANCHORAGE is a stormwater outfall located at 6301 Rosewood Street in Anchorage, Alaska, within the Anchorage Municipality. It operates under the US EPA NPDES MS4 permit framework, which governs stormwater discharges from municipal separate storm sewer systems in the United States. As a stormwater outfall, this facility discharges collected stormwater runoff from urban and industrial areas into receiving waters. The regulatory context includes compliance with the Clean Water Act and local water quality standards. The facility's NAICS code 562111 indicates it is part of the waste treatment and disposal sector, though its primary function is stormwater management. This outfall plays a role in managing stormwater runoff in Anchorage, a city with a subarctic climate where snowmelt and rainfall can impact water quality. Proper operation helps mitigate flooding and reduce pollutant loads to local water bodies, supporting community and environmental health.

Anchorage's stormwater outfalls discharge into local creeks and rivers that flow into Cook Inlet. The region experiences significant seasonal snowmelt, which can carry pollutants from urban surfaces. Regulatory oversight under the EPA NPDES MS4 program requires monitoring and best management practices to protect water quality in these receiving waters.
