CHATTAHOOCHEE VENEER LLC Stormwater Outfall, Eufaula, Alabama

CHATTAHOOCHEE VENEER LLC is a stormwater outfall located at 30 West Chewalla Creek Drive in Eufaula, Barbour County, Alabama. This facility manages stormwater runoff from an industrial site classified under NAICS 321211 (Veneer, Plywood, and Engineered Wood Product Manufacturing). As a stormwater outfall, it collects and discharges stormwater from the facility's catchment area. The facility operates under the regulatory framework of the US Clean Water Act, specifically the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) program. Stormwater discharges from industrial activities are typically regulated under Multi-Sector General Permits (MSGP) or individual permits. The facility's NAICS code places it in the wood products sector, which has specific stormwater control requirements including best management practices for sediment, debris, and chemical runoff. Located in the Chattahoochee River watershed, the outfall discharges to Chewalla Creek, a tributary of the Chattahoochee River. The facility's stormwater management is important for protecting local water quality in this region, which supports diverse aquatic habitats. Compliance with NPDES permit conditions helps minimize the impact of industrial stormwater runoff on downstream water bodies.

The facility is situated in the Chattahoochee River basin, which drains into the Apalachicola Bay system. This watershed supports significant biodiversity and provides drinking water for multiple communities. Industrial stormwater discharges from wood product manufacturing can contain pollutants such as suspended solids, organic matter, and chemicals used in veneer processing. Effective stormwater management is critical to prevent degradation of Chewalla Creek and the larger Chattahoochee River ecosystem.
