COUNTY RD. 222 BORROW PIT Stormwater Outfall, Good Hope, Alabama

COUNTY RD. 222 BORROW PIT is a stormwater outfall located at 281 HAGGERSN RD. in Good Hope, Cullman County, Alabama, United States. The facility is operational and serves an industrial catchment area, as indicated by its NAICS codes (212325 and 212399) which correspond to clay and nonmetallic mineral mining. As a stormwater outfall, it manages runoff from these industrial activities, discharging into local waterways. The facility operates under the regulatory framework of the US Clean Water Act, specifically the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) Municipal Separate Storm Sewer System (MS4) program. Given its industrial catchment, it may be subject to additional stormwater permitting requirements under the NPDES Industrial Stormwater program. The outfall likely includes best management practices (BMPs) such as sediment basins or retention ponds to control pollutant loads. Located in rural Cullman County, the outfall discharges into receiving waters that may be tributaries to the Black Warrior River basin. Proper stormwater management is critical to prevent erosion, sedimentation, and contamination from mining operations. The facility's role is to mitigate the impact of stormwater runoff on local water quality and aquatic habitats.

The facility is situated in a region with clay and mineral mining activities, which can generate sediment and potential contaminants in stormwater runoff. The receiving waters are part of the Black Warrior River watershed, which supports diverse aquatic life and is used for recreation and water supply. Effective stormwater management is essential to prevent siltation and chemical pollution from industrial sites, particularly under the NPDES permitting framework that requires monitoring and treatment of runoff.
