H & E Equipment Services, Inc. operates a stormwater outfall located at 4871 Commerce Drive in Trussville, Jefferson County, Alabama. This facility manages stormwater runoff from industrial equipment rental operations, categorized under NAICS codes 532412 and 532490. As a stormwater outfall, it discharges into local waterways and is subject to the US EPA's NPDES MS4 permitting framework. The facility operates under Alabama's stormwater regulations, which implement the Clean Water Act's requirements for industrial stormwater discharges. The outfall likely serves an urban-industrial catchment, with runoff potentially containing sediment, oils, and other pollutants typical of equipment rental yards. Stormwater management practices at such sites often include detention basins, oil-water separators, and regular monitoring to ensure compliance with discharge limits. Located in Trussville, a suburb of Birmingham, the outfall discharges into the Black Warrior River watershed. This waterbody supports regional aquatic ecosystems and downstream water uses. Proper stormwater management at this facility helps protect local water quality and aligns with community efforts to reduce urban runoff impacts. The facility's operational status indicates ongoing compliance with regulatory requirements.

The outfall discharges into the Black Warrior River watershed, which flows through the Birmingham metropolitan area. This region experiences a humid subtropical climate with frequent thunderstorms, leading to high stormwater runoff volumes. Urban and industrial land use in the catchment can contribute pollutants such as heavy metals, hydrocarbons, and sediment. The facility's compliance with NPDES MS4 permits is critical to prevent degradation of downstream water quality and aquatic habitats.
