AVERITT EXPRESS DOTHAN Stormwater Outfall, Dothan, Alabama | US Stormwater Facility

AVERITT EXPRESS DOTHAN is a stormwater outfall located at 2951 John D Odom Rd in Dothan, Houston County, Alabama, United States. The facility is operational and serves as a discharge point for stormwater runoff from an industrial site classified under NAICS 484121 (General Freight Trucking, Long-Distance, Truckload). As a stormwater outfall, it is part of the broader municipal separate storm sewer system (MS4) regulated under the US Clean Water Act. In the United States, stormwater outfalls like this one are typically subject to National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) MS4 permits, which require stormwater management plans to control pollutants. For industrial facilities, the EPA's Multi-Sector General Permit (MSGP) may apply, mandating best management practices (BMPs) and monitoring. The facility's location in Dothan, a city in southeastern Alabama, means it operates within a region characterized by a humid subtropical climate with significant rainfall, increasing the importance of effective stormwater management. The environmental significance of this outfall lies in its potential impact on local water bodies. Stormwater runoff from industrial sites can carry pollutants such as sediment, oil, grease, and heavy metals. Proper management ensures compliance with water quality standards and protects downstream ecosystems. The facility's role in the local stormwater infrastructure contributes to flood control and water quality protection in the Dothan area.

The stormwater outfall at AVERITT EXPRESS DOTHAN discharges into the local watershed, which is part of the Choctawhatchee River basin. This region experiences heavy rainfall, particularly during summer thunderstorms and tropical storms, leading to significant stormwater runoff. Industrial sites like this one can contribute pollutants such as sediment, hydrocarbons, and heavy metals if not properly managed. The facility operates under the US EPA NPDES MS4 permit framework, which requires stormwater management plans to minimize environmental impact and protect water quality in receiving streams.
