DEES PLANTATION PHASE 3 Stormwater Outfall, Grand Bay, Alabama | USA

DEES PLANTATION PHASE 3 is a stormwater outfall located at the intersection of Dawes Rd and Grand Bay-Wilmer Rd in Grand Bay, Alabama, within Mobile County. This facility manages stormwater runoff from the surrounding area, which includes industrial activities associated with NAICS codes 212321 (Construction Sand and Gravel Mining) and 212399 (Other Nonmetallic Mineral Mining and Quarrying). As a stormwater outfall, it discharges collected runoff into local waterways, playing a key role in flood control and water quality management. Operating under the US EPA's National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) Municipal Separate Storm Sewer System (MS4) permit program, this outfall is subject to regulations that require monitoring and control of pollutants in stormwater discharges. The facility's location in an area with mining and quarrying operations means it may handle runoff with sediment and other potential contaminants, necessitating best management practices to mitigate environmental impacts. The outfall serves the Grand Bay community and contributes to the overall stormwater infrastructure of Mobile County. Its operational status ensures that stormwater is managed to reduce flooding risks and protect downstream water bodies. The facility's compliance with NPDES MS4 requirements helps maintain water quality in the region, supporting local ecosystems and community water resources.

The outfall discharges into local waterways that may be sensitive to urban and industrial runoff. Mobile County's coastal location and clay-rich soils can increase sediment loads, while the nearby mining operations (NAICS 212321, 212399) may contribute silt and other pollutants. Effective stormwater management is critical to prevent erosion, protect aquatic habitats, and maintain water quality in the Gulf Coast region.
