CIRCLE K STORE NO. 2723680 Stormwater Outfall, Birmingham, Alabama

CIRCLE K STORE NO. 2723680 is a stormwater outfall located at 1200 W. Bankhead Highway in Birmingham, Jefferson County, Alabama. This facility manages stormwater runoff from a commercial retail site, operating under the regulatory framework of the US EPA NPDES MS4 program, which governs stormwater discharges in urbanized areas. As a small municipal separate storm sewer system (MS4) outfall, it is subject to Phase II requirements aimed at reducing pollutant loads to receiving waters. The facility's stormwater management likely includes best management practices (BMPs) such as detention basins, oil-water separators, or filtration systems to treat runoff from parking lots and building surfaces. Given its location in an urban catchment, the outfall discharges to local waterways that may be impaired by urban runoff. Compliance with permit conditions, including monitoring and reporting, is essential to minimize environmental impact. This outfall contributes to the broader stormwater infrastructure in Birmingham, helping to control flooding and protect water quality in the Black Warrior River watershed. Effective management of stormwater from commercial sites like this is critical for meeting Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL) requirements and maintaining the ecological health of receiving streams.

Located in Birmingham, Alabama, this stormwater outfall discharges into the Black Warrior River watershed, which supports diverse aquatic life and provides drinking water.
