AVERITT EXPRESS MOBILE (NEW) Stormwater Outfall, Theodore, Alabama

AVERITT EXPRESS MOBILE (NEW) is a stormwater outfall located at 7117 SALP BOULEVARD in Theodore, Mobile County, Alabama. This facility manages stormwater runoff from an industrial site classified under NAICS 484122 (General Freight Trucking, Long-Distance). As a stormwater outfall, it discharges collected stormwater into local waterways, playing a key role in managing runoff quality and quantity in the region. The facility operates under the regulatory framework of the US Clean Water Act, specifically the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) Municipal Separate Storm Sewer System (MS4) permits. Alabama's stormwater program is administered by the Alabama Department of Environmental Management (ADEM). Given its industrial catchment, the outfall is subject to requirements for pollution prevention and best management practices to control pollutants in stormwater discharge. Located in Theodore, near Mobile Bay, the outfall discharges into a sensitive coastal ecosystem. The area's subtropical climate with high rainfall intensity increases the importance of effective stormwater management to prevent flooding and protect water quality. Proper operation of this outfall helps mitigate impacts on downstream water bodies, supporting community and environmental health.

The outfall is situated in an industrial area near Mobile Bay, a major estuary on the Gulf Coast. Stormwater runoff from industrial sites can carry pollutants such as sediment, heavy metals, and hydrocarbons. The region's high annual rainfall and flat topography increase runoff volumes, making stormwater management critical to prevent localized flooding and degradation of aquatic habitats. Discharge from this outfall may affect water quality in receiving streams that flow into Mobile Bay, which supports diverse marine life and commercial fisheries.
