HEAT TRANSFER PRODUCTS GROUP-EXTERNAL WAREHOUSE is a stormwater outfall located at 214 Lonnie Crawford Blvd. in Scottsboro, Jackson County, Alabama. This facility serves an industrial warehouse operation (NAICS 493110) and is part of the stormwater management infrastructure for the region. As a stormwater outfall, it discharges collected runoff from the site into local waterways, operating under the regulatory framework of the US Clean Water Act and Alabama's NPDES MS4 permit program. The facility's primary technical function is to convey stormwater runoff from the warehouse property to receiving waters. The outfall is designed to handle runoff from the impervious surfaces typical of industrial warehouse facilities. The regulatory context includes compliance with Phase II MS4 requirements for small municipalities, as Scottsboro is likely designated under this program. Stormwater outfalls like this one are critical for controlling flooding and preventing pollutant transport from industrial sites. This outfall plays a role in managing stormwater quality and quantity in the Scottsboro area, which is part of the Tennessee River watershed. The facility's environmental significance lies in its potential to affect local water bodies through runoff from industrial activities. Proper operation and maintenance help minimize impacts on receiving streams, supporting community and ecological health in Jackson County.

The outfall discharges into the Tennessee River basin, a major waterway in the southeastern US. The local climate features significant rainfall, making stormwater management important for flood control and water quality. Industrial catchments like this warehouse site can contribute pollutants such as sediment, oils, and heavy metals if not properly managed. Regulatory oversight under the NPDES MS4 program aims to reduce these impacts through best management practices.
