HOLCIM INCORPORATED Stormwater Outfall, Birmingham, Alabama | Industrial Runoff Management

HOLCIM INCORPORATED operates a stormwater outfall located at 1555 Hartman Industrial Boulevard in Birmingham, Jefferson County, Alabama. This facility manages stormwater runoff from industrial operations, including mineral processing and construction materials manufacturing, as indicated by its NAICS codes. The outfall is part of the broader stormwater management infrastructure in the Birmingham urban area, which is subject to Phase II MS4 permit requirements under the Clean Water Act. As a stormwater outfall, the facility discharges runoff from industrial catchments into local waterways. The regulatory framework governing this outfall includes the US EPA's NPDES program, which requires permits for stormwater discharges associated with industrial activity. The facility's compliance with its permit conditions, including implementation of best management practices (BMPs) and monitoring of discharge quality, is critical to minimizing environmental impact. The outfall serves the Holcim industrial site, which is located in an area with mixed industrial and urban land use. Effective stormwater management at this facility helps reduce the transport of pollutants such as sediment, heavy metals, and chemicals to receiving waters. The facility's operational status and location in a regulated MS4 area underscore its role in protecting water quality in the region.

The stormwater outfall discharges into receiving waters that may be impaired by urban and industrial runoff common in the Birmingham area. The facility's industrial catchment, including mineral processing and construction materials manufacturing, poses risks of sediment, metals, and other pollutants entering local streams. Regulatory oversight under the Clean Water Act and Alabama's NPDES program requires the facility to implement stormwater pollution prevention plans and best management practices to mitigate these impacts.
