CENTREVILLE BORROW PIT Stormwater Outfall, Centreville, Alabama

CENTREVILLE BORROW PIT is a stormwater outfall facility located approximately 1-mile east of Centreville, Alabama, along Highway 82. As a stormwater outfall, it functions as a discharge point for stormwater runoff from the surrounding area, which may include urban, agricultural, or industrial catchments. The facility is operational and falls under the regulatory framework of the United States Environmental Protection Agency's National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) program, which governs stormwater discharges through MS4 permits. In Alabama, stormwater management is regulated by the Alabama Department of Environmental Management (ADEM), which implements the NPDES program. The facility's location in Bibb County places it within a region that may experience varying rainfall patterns and land use types. Stormwater outfalls like this one are critical for managing runoff to prevent flooding and reduce pollutant loads entering receiving waters. The environmental significance of CENTREVILLE BORROW PIT lies in its role in conveying stormwater to nearby water bodies. Proper operation and maintenance of such outfalls are essential to minimize impacts on water quality, particularly in areas where runoff may carry sediments, nutrients, or other pollutants. The facility contributes to the local stormwater management infrastructure, supporting community resilience and environmental protection.

The facility is located in Bibb County, Alabama, within the Cahaba River watershed, which is known for its high aquatic biodiversity. Stormwater runoff from urban and agricultural areas can carry pollutants such as sediment, nutrients, and heavy metals, potentially impacting water quality. The outfall's discharge may affect local streams and rivers, making proper stormwater management crucial for protecting aquatic habitats and downstream water resources.
