Overview
GREENVILLE ASPHALT PLANT is a stormwater outfall in Greenville, Alabama, United States. It manages runoff from an industrial asphalt facility under EPA NPDES MS4 regulations.
GREENVILLE ASPHALT PLANT is a stormwater outfall located at 513 Landfill Road in Greenville, Butler County, Alabama, United States. The facility is operational and serves as a discharge point for stormwater runoff from an industrial asphalt production site. As a stormwater outfall, it is part of the broader municipal separate storm sewer system (MS4) network regulated under the Clean Water Act. The facility operates under the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permitting framework, which requires industrial stormwater discharges to be managed through best management practices (BMPs) to minimize pollutant loads. In Alabama, the Alabama Department of Environmental Management (ADEM) oversees compliance with federal stormwater regulations. Typical BMPs for asphalt plants include sediment basins, oil-water separators, and regular site sweeping to control runoff from material storage and vehicle traffic areas. The environmental significance of this outfall lies in its potential to affect local water quality in Butler County. Stormwater runoff from industrial facilities can carry pollutants such as heavy metals, hydrocarbons, and suspended solids. Proper management ensures compliance with water quality standards and protects downstream water bodies. The facility's location near Landfill Road suggests proximity to other industrial or waste management operations, which may influence runoff characteristics.
Environmental context
Greenville, Alabama, experiences a humid subtropical climate with frequent rainfall, making stormwater management critical for local water quality. The outfall discharges into a watershed that may drain to the Conecuh River or its tributaries, which support aquatic habitats and recreational uses. Industrial stormwater runoff from asphalt plants can contain pollutants like petroleum hydrocarbons, heavy metals, and sediment, posing risks to aquatic life if not properly treated. Regulatory oversight under the EPA's NPDES program requires monitoring and BMPs to mitigate these impacts.
