Overview
BAYOU CONCRETE LLC - CITRONELLE PLANT is a stormwater outfall in Citronelle, Alabama. It operates under US EPA NPDES MS4 regulations for industrial stormwater discharge.
BAYOU CONCRETE LLC - CITRONELLE PLANT is a stormwater outfall located at 18475 MAIN STREET in Citronelle, Mobile County, Alabama, United States. The facility is operational and serves as a point of discharge for stormwater runoff from an industrial concrete manufacturing site. As a stormwater outfall in the United States, this facility is subject to the Clean Water Act and the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permitting program. Industrial stormwater discharges are typically regulated under Multi-Sector General Permits (MSGP) or individual permits, requiring implementation of stormwater pollution prevention plans (SWPPP) and best management practices (BMPs) to control pollutants. The facility's environmental significance lies in its role in managing stormwater runoff from an industrial site. Proper treatment and control of stormwater are critical to prevent pollutants such as sediment, oil, and concrete-related chemicals from entering local waterways. The outfall likely discharges to a nearby water body, and compliance with permit limits helps protect water quality in the Mobile Bay watershed.
Environmental context
The facility is located in Citronelle, Alabama, within the Mobile Bay watershed. Stormwater runoff from industrial sites like concrete manufacturing can carry pollutants such as sediment, heavy metals, and alkaline wastewater.
