AMERIBOLT, INC. operates a stormwater outfall located at 18060 AL Highway 21 in Sycamore, Talladega County, Alabama. This facility manages stormwater discharge from an industrial site classified under NAICS 332111 (Iron and Steel Forging). As a stormwater outfall, it is subject to the US EPA's National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permitting requirements, specifically under the Clean Water Act's industrial stormwater regulations. The facility operates within Alabama's regulatory framework, which includes the Alabama Department of Environmental Management (ADEM) as the authorized NPDES permitting authority. Stormwater outfalls at industrial sites must comply with monitoring and best management practice requirements to control pollutants in runoff. The NAICS code indicates metal forging operations, which typically involve potential contaminants such as metals, oils, and suspended solids. This outfall contributes to the management of stormwater runoff from an industrial facility in a region characterized by mixed urban and rural land use. Proper stormwater control is essential to protect local water quality in Talladega County, particularly for downstream water bodies that may be used for recreation or drinking water supply. The facility's compliance with its NPDES permit helps minimize environmental impacts from industrial stormwater discharge.

The stormwater outfall at AMERIBOLT, INC. discharges into a catchment that may drain to the Coosa River basin, a major water resource in Alabama. Industrial stormwater runoff from metal forging operations can contain heavy metals, oils, and sediment, posing risks to aquatic ecosystems if not properly managed. The facility operates under NPDES permit requirements that mandate pollution prevention and monitoring to protect receiving waters.
