Overview
BRYANT CHERT PIT is a stormwater outfall in Glencoe, Alabama, United States. It manages stormwater runoff from industrial mining operations in Etowah County.
BRYANT CHERT PIT is a stormwater outfall located at 510 Hill Ave, Glencoe, Alabama, United States. The facility serves an industrial catchment associated with mining activities (NAICS codes 212321, 212390, 212399) and is situated in Etowah County. As a stormwater outfall, it discharges treated or untreated stormwater runoff from the site into receiving waters. The facility operates under the U.S. Clean Water Act and is likely subject to National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permit requirements for industrial stormwater discharges. The Alabama Department of Environmental Management (ADEM) oversees compliance with federal and state stormwater regulations. Typical stormwater management at such sites includes sedimentation basins, detention ponds, and erosion control measures to reduce pollutant loads. As an operational stormwater outfall, BRYANT CHERT PIT plays a role in managing runoff from mining operations, which can contain sediments, metals, and other pollutants. Proper management is essential to protect downstream water quality in local streams and rivers. The facility contributes to regional stormwater infrastructure in Glencoe and Etowah County.
Environmental context
The facility is located in Etowah County, Alabama, within the Coosa River basin. The region experiences a humid subtropical climate with frequent rainfall, making stormwater management critical. Industrial mining operations can generate runoff with elevated sediment and metal loads, potentially impacting local water bodies. The outfall discharges into receiving waters that may be used for recreation or drinking water supply downstream.
