BULK TRANSPORT COMPANY EAST, INC. is a stormwater outfall facility located at 8384 HWY 25 SOUTH in Calera, Shelby County, Alabama, United States. The facility is operational and serves as a point of discharge for stormwater runoff from industrial transport operations, specifically classified under NAICS codes 484220 (specialized freight trucking) and 484230 (general freight trucking, long-distance). As a stormwater outfall, it is subject to the US EPA's National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permitting framework, which governs stormwater discharges from industrial activities. The facility operates under the regulatory oversight of the Alabama Department of Environmental Management (ADEM) and must comply with the Clean Water Act's requirements for industrial stormwater management. Typical controls include best management practices (BMPs) such as sediment basins, oil-water separators, and spill prevention measures to mitigate pollutant runoff from trucking yards and loading areas. The scale of operations is consistent with a medium-sized industrial facility in the region. Environmental significance lies in its location within the Cahaba River watershed, a biologically diverse system. Proper stormwater management is critical to prevent sediment, hydrocarbons, and other pollutants from entering local waterways. The facility's compliance with NPDES permit conditions helps protect water quality in Shelby County and downstream communities. Regular monitoring and reporting are required to ensure discharges meet established limits.
Environmental context
