BALDWIN RECYCLING is a stormwater outfall located at 18276 COUCH PLANT ROAD in Summerdale, Baldwin County, Alabama. The facility operates under the jurisdiction of the United States, where stormwater discharges are regulated under the Clean Water Act and the EPA's NPDES MS4 permit program. As a stormwater outfall associated with recycling and automotive industries (NAICS codes 423930, 441310, 441330), it handles runoff from industrial and commercial surfaces. The facility's operational status is active, and it falls under the regulatory framework of Alabama's stormwater management programs. Stormwater outfalls in industrial settings are typically required to obtain NPDES permits for stormwater discharges, which include monitoring and best management practices to control pollutants. The specific discharge volume and receiving water body are not detailed in available records. This outfall contributes to local stormwater management in the Summerdale area, helping to convey runoff from industrial operations to nearby waterways. Proper management of stormwater from recycling and automotive facilities is important to prevent contamination of local water resources and to comply with federal and state water quality standards.

The facility is located in Baldwin County, Alabama, an area with a humid subtropical climate and significant rainfall, which increases the potential for stormwater runoff. The outfall likely discharges to local streams or rivers that may eventually reach the Gulf of Mexico. Industrial stormwater runoff from recycling and automotive facilities can contain pollutants such as heavy metals, oils, and sediments, requiring effective treatment and management to protect water quality.
