Overview
COASTAL READY MIX, LLC - MCINTOSH is a stormwater outfall in McIntosh, Alabama, USA. It operates under the US EPA NPDES MS4 permit framework for industrial stormwater discharges.
COASTAL READY MIX, LLC - MCINTOSH is a stormwater outfall located at 53 Paul Bayou Rd in McIntosh, Washington County, Alabama. The facility is operational and classified under NAICS code 327320 (Ready-Mix Concrete Manufacturing), indicating an industrial catchment with potential stormwater runoff from concrete production activities. As a stormwater outfall in the United States, this facility operates under the Clean Water Act and is subject to National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permitting. Industrial stormwater discharges are typically regulated under Multi-Sector General Permits (MSGP) or individual permits, requiring best management practices (BMPs) and monitoring for pollutants such as total suspended solids, pH, and metals. The facility's location in a rural area of Alabama may influence runoff characteristics. The environmental significance of this outfall relates to its discharge into local waterways, potentially affecting water quality in the Mobile-Tensaw River Delta region. Proper stormwater management at concrete plants is critical to prevent alkaline runoff and sediment discharge, which can impact aquatic habitats. The facility's compliance with NPDES requirements helps mitigate these risks.
Environmental context
The facility is located in Washington County, Alabama, near the Mobile-Tensaw River Delta, a biologically diverse estuarine system. Stormwater runoff from industrial sites like concrete batch plants can carry high pH levels, suspended solids, and trace metals, posing risks to aquatic life. The region's humid subtropical climate with frequent heavy rainfall increases the potential for runoff events, making effective stormwater management essential for protecting downstream water quality.
