COASTAL READY MIX THEODORE Stormwater Outfall, Theodore, Alabama

COASTAL READY MIX THEODORE is a stormwater outfall located at 5400 Hamilton Blvd., Theodore, Alabama, in Mobile County. It serves an industrial facility classified under NAICS 327320 (Ready-Mix Concrete Manufacturing) and is currently operational. As a stormwater outfall, it discharges runoff from the industrial site into local waterways. The facility operates under the US EPA National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permitting framework, specifically under the Multi-Sector General Permit (MSGP) for industrial stormwater discharges. This permit requires compliance with effluent limitations and monitoring requirements to protect water quality. The outfall is part of a network of stormwater controls designed to manage runoff from the concrete manufacturing operations. Stormwater outfalls like this one play a critical role in managing industrial runoff, which can contain pollutants such as sediment, metals, and pH-altering substances. The facility's location in Theodore, near Mobile Bay, underscores the importance of proper stormwater management to protect sensitive coastal ecosystems. Compliance with NPDES permit conditions helps minimize environmental impacts and supports local water quality goals.

The facility is located in Theodore, Alabama, within the Mobile Bay watershed, a region with significant ecological importance. Stormwater discharges from industrial sites can carry pollutants like sediment, heavy metals, and concrete washout, which may affect water quality in receiving streams. The area's humid subtropical climate with frequent rainfall increases the potential for runoff events. Proper management of stormwater outfalls is essential to protect aquatic habitats and comply with Clean Water Act requirements.
