Overview
BAMA CONCRETE HUNTSVILLE PLANT is a stormwater outfall in Huntsville, Alabama, United States. It manages runoff from commercial and industrial activities under NPDES MS4 permit requirements.
BAMA CONCRETE HUNTSVILLE PLANT is a stormwater outfall located at 814 Nick Fitcheard Road in Huntsville, Alabama, within Madison County. The facility operates under the United States regulatory framework, specifically the EPA's NPDES MS4 program, which governs stormwater discharges from industrial and commercial sites. As a concrete manufacturing and construction-related facility (NAICS 236220, 327320), it manages runoff from impervious surfaces and material storage areas. The facility's stormwater management is subject to local and federal regulations aimed at controlling pollutants in urban and industrial runoff. In Alabama, stormwater permits are administered by the Alabama Department of Environmental Management (ADEM) under delegated authority from the EPA. Typical controls include sediment basins, oil-water separators, and regular monitoring to ensure compliance with water quality standards. This outfall contributes to the management of stormwater in the Huntsville metropolitan area, a growing urban center in the Tennessee Valley. Proper operation helps protect downstream water bodies, including the Tennessee River and its tributaries, from sedimentation and industrial pollutants. The facility's role is part of broader efforts to maintain water quality in a region experiencing rapid development.
Environmental context
The facility is located in Huntsville, Alabama, within the Tennessee River watershed. The region experiences a humid subtropical climate with frequent thunderstorms, leading to significant stormwater runoff. Urban and industrial development in the area increases the risk of pollutant loading to local streams and rivers. The outfall discharges into a municipal separate storm sewer system (MS4), which ultimately drains to the Tennessee River. Regulatory oversight under the NPDES MS4 program requires the facility to implement best management practices (BMPs) to control erosion, sediment, and other pollutants from concrete and construction activities.
