C&W Transport, Inc. Stormwater Outfall, Oxford, Alabama | Industrial Runoff Management

C&W Transport, Inc. is a stormwater outfall located at 5998 Highway 78 West in Oxford, Calhoun County, Alabama. This facility manages stormwater runoff from a freight transportation operation (NAICS 488510) and operates under the regulatory framework of the US Clean Water Act and EPA's NPDES MS4 permit program. As a stormwater outfall in an industrial setting, the facility is subject to requirements for pollution prevention and runoff control. The site's location in a transportation corridor suggests potential for runoff containing sediment, oil, and other pollutants typical of freight operations. Compliance with stormwater permits and best management practices is essential to protect local water quality. The outfall discharges into the local watershed, which ultimately drains to the Coosa River basin. Proper management of stormwater from this facility helps prevent flooding and reduces pollutant loads to receiving waters, supporting the ecological health of streams and rivers in the region.

The facility is located in the Coosa River basin, a region with significant aquatic biodiversity. Stormwater runoff from industrial sites like this can carry pollutants such as heavy metals, hydrocarbons, and sediment. The local climate features frequent thunderstorms, increasing runoff volumes. Regulatory oversight under the EPA's NPDES program requires monitoring and control of discharges to protect downstream water quality.
