Overview
APAC Mid South Inc Greenville Asphalt Plant is a stormwater outfall facility located in Greenville, Alabama, United States. It operates under the EPA NPDES MS4 permit framework for industrial stormwater discharges.
APAC Mid South Inc Greenville Asphalt Plant is a stormwater outfall facility situated at 675 Industrial Blvd in Greenville, Butler County, Alabama. As an industrial asphalt plant, it manages stormwater runoff from its site, discharging to local water bodies under the regulatory oversight of the US EPA's National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES). The facility is classified as a stormwater outfall, indicating it is a point source for stormwater discharges associated with industrial activity. The facility operates under the NPDES Multi-Sector General Permit (MSGP) for industrial stormwater discharges, which requires compliance with effluent limits and monitoring for pollutants typical of asphalt production, such as total suspended solids and pH. In Alabama, the Alabama Department of Environmental Management (ADEM) administers the NPDES program. The plant's location in an industrial area suggests that stormwater runoff may carry sediment and other contaminants from paved surfaces and material storage areas. Environmental significance lies in the facility's potential impact on nearby water bodies, including tributaries of the Alabama River system. Proper stormwater management is critical to prevent erosion, sedimentation, and pollution. The facility's compliance with its NPDES permit ensures that discharges meet water quality standards, protecting aquatic habitats and downstream uses. As part of the broader stormwater infrastructure in Greenville, this outfall contributes to local flood control and water quality management.
Environmental context
The facility is located in Greenville, Alabama, within the Gulf Coastal Plain region. The area experiences a humid subtropical climate with frequent heavy rainfall, increasing the potential for stormwater runoff and erosion. Local water bodies, such as the Conecuh River, are sensitive to sedimentation and pollutants from industrial sites. The facility's stormwater discharges are regulated under the Clean Water Act to protect these aquatic ecosystems from degradation.
