CRH North America, Inc. Stormwater Outfall, Clanton, Alabama | Industrial Runoff Management

CRH North America, Inc. manages a stormwater outfall located at 2541 7th Street South in Clanton, Alabama. This facility is part of a larger industrial operation in Chilton County, serving sectors such as motor vehicle seating and interior trim manufacturing (NAICS 336360, 336370). The outfall is operational and subject to federal and state stormwater discharge regulations. Under the US Clean Water Act, industrial stormwater discharges are regulated through NPDES permits, often via Multi-Sector General Permits (MSGP) or individual permits. Facilities like this one must implement Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plans (SWPPPs) to control runoff from industrial activities, including material storage, vehicle maintenance, and outdoor processing areas. The Alabama Department of Environmental Management (ADEM) oversees compliance with monitoring and reporting requirements. This outfall contributes to managing stormwater runoff in an industrial catchment, helping to protect local water quality in the Alabama River basin. Effective stormwater control reduces pollutant loads such as sediments, oils, and heavy metals, supporting downstream aquatic habitats and community water resources.

The outfall discharges into a catchment within the Alabama River watershed, which supports diverse aquatic ecosystems and provides drinking water for downstream communities. Industrial stormwater runoff from facilities like CRH North America can introduce pollutants such as suspended solids, hydrocarbons, and metals. Regulatory oversight under the NPDES program requires monitoring and best management practices to minimize environmental impact, particularly in areas with sensitive water bodies.
