Overview
HC Redi Mix Facility is a stormwater outfall in North Pole, Alaska, USA. It operates under the US EPA NPDES MS4 permitting framework for stormwater discharges.
HC Redi Mix Facility is a stormwater outfall located in North Pole, Fairbanks North Star County, Alaska, United States. The facility manages stormwater runoff from an industrial concrete mixing site, discharging into local waterways. As a stormwater outfall, it is part of the broader network of regulated stormwater discharges under the US Clean Water Act. The facility operates under the US EPA National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) program, which governs stormwater discharges from industrial activities. In Alaska, the Alaska Department of Environmental Conservation (ADEC) administers the NPDES program. The facility likely holds a Multi-Sector General Permit (MSGP) for stormwater discharges associated with industrial activity, which requires implementation of best management practices (BMPs) to control pollutants. The environmental significance of HC Redi Mix Facility lies in its potential impact on receiving waters in the Fairbanks area. Stormwater runoff from concrete facilities can contain high pH, suspended solids, and other pollutants. Proper management is essential to protect water quality in the Chena River and other nearby waterbodies, which support aquatic life and recreational uses.
Environmental context
The facility is located in North Pole, Alaska, within the Tanana River watershed. The region experiences a subarctic climate with long, cold winters and short summers, affecting stormwater runoff patterns and pollutant transport. Discharges from concrete facilities can elevate pH and introduce sediment, posing risks to aquatic ecosystems. The facility's stormwater outfall is subject to NPDES permit requirements to minimize these impacts.
Frequently asked questions
HC Redi Mix Facility is located at 900 Old Richardson Highway, North Pole, Alaska 99705, United States.
HC Redi Mix Facility is a stormwater outfall that manages runoff from a concrete mixing operation.
Stormwater outfalls in Alaska are regulated under the US EPA NPDES program, with permits issued by the Alaska Department of Environmental Conservation (ADEC). Industrial facilities must obtain coverage under the Multi-Sector General Permit (MSGP) and implement stormwater pollution prevention plans.
As an industrial stormwater outfall, HC Redi Mix Facility is required to implement best management practices (BMPs) to control pollutants, such as sediment basins, pH adjustment, and regular monitoring.
Stormwater from concrete facilities can contain high pH, total suspended solids, and metals. Proper treatment and management are necessary to prevent harm to aquatic life and comply with water quality standards.
