DAFFRON AUTO PARTS Stormwater Outfall, Pell City, Alabama | US Stormwater Facility

DAFFRON AUTO PARTS is a stormwater outfall located at 785 Old Coal City Road in Pell City, Saint Clair County, Alabama, United States. The facility manages stormwater discharge from an industrial site classified under NAICS 423140 (Motor Vehicle Parts, Used) and operates under the regulatory framework of the US Clean Water Act and EPA's NPDES MS4 permit program. As a stormwater outfall, the facility is responsible for controlling the quality and quantity of runoff from the industrial property before it enters local waterways. In Alabama, stormwater discharges are typically regulated under Phase II MS4 permits for small municipalities and industrial facilities, requiring implementation of best management practices (BMPs) to reduce pollutant loads. The facility's location in an urbanized area of Pell City suggests potential impacts on receiving waters. The environmental significance of this outfall lies in its contribution to local stormwater management, particularly in preventing industrial pollutants such as oil, grease, metals, and sediments from reaching nearby water bodies. Proper operation helps protect water quality in the Coosa River watershed, which supports regional ecosystems and community water supplies.

The facility discharges stormwater into the Coosa River watershed, a major water system in Alabama that supports diverse aquatic life and provides drinking water. The urban and industrial catchment in Pell City increases the risk of pollutant runoff, including heavy metals and hydrocarbons from auto parts operations. Regulatory oversight under the Clean Water Act requires compliance with NPDES permit conditions to minimize environmental impact.
