Georgia-Pacific Wood Products, LLC Stormwater Outfall, Frisco City, Alabama

Georgia-Pacific Wood Products, LLC operates a stormwater outfall located at 372 Mexboro Road in Frisco City, Monroe County, Alabama. This facility manages stormwater runoff from industrial wood products manufacturing activities, classified under NAICS codes 237310 (Highway, Street, and Bridge Construction) and 321113 (Sawmills). The outfall is part of the company's compliance with the Clean Water Act and EPA's NPDES MS4 permit program, which regulates stormwater discharges from industrial facilities. As an industrial stormwater outfall, the facility is subject to sector-specific permitting under the EPA's Multi-Sector General Permit (MSGP) for stormwater discharges associated with industrial activity. The facility's location in Alabama places it under the jurisdiction of the Alabama Department of Environmental Management (ADEM), which implements the NPDES program. Typical stormwater management at such facilities includes best management practices (BMPs) like sediment basins, vegetative buffers, and spill prevention controls to minimize pollutant runoff. The facility's stormwater outfall serves to convey runoff from the industrial site to nearby receiving waters, which may include tributaries of the Alabama River system. Proper management of stormwater quality is critical to protect local water bodies from sediment, nutrients, and other pollutants associated with wood products manufacturing. The facility's operational status indicates ongoing compliance with regulatory requirements for stormwater discharge monitoring and reporting.

The facility is located in Monroe County, Alabama, within the Gulf Coastal Plain region. The area's warm, humid climate results in significant seasonal rainfall, increasing the potential for stormwater runoff. Local water bodies may be sensitive to sedimentation and nutrient loading from industrial activities. The facility's stormwater outfall must comply with water quality standards to protect downstream aquatic ecosystems, including those in the Alabama River basin.
