Overview
HUDCO INDUSTRIAL PRODUCTS, INC. operates a stormwater outfall in Bessemer, Alabama, managing industrial stormwater discharges under US EPA NPDES MS4 regulations.
HUDCO INDUSTRIAL PRODUCTS, INC. is an industrial facility located at 3100 Morgan Road in Bessemer, Jefferson County, Alabama, United States. The facility operates a stormwater outfall that discharges industrial stormwater runoff, regulated under the US EPA's National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) Municipal Separate Storm Sewer System (MS4) program. As an industrial site, it falls under Phase II MS4 requirements for small municipalities, given Bessemer's population size. The facility's NAICS codes (327125 for concrete pipe manufacturing and 332812 for metal coating) indicate industrial activities that generate stormwater runoff with potential pollutants. The stormwater outfall is designed to manage and treat runoff before discharge, typically through best management practices such as sedimentation basins, oil-water separators, or filtration systems. In Alabama, industrial stormwater permits are administered by the Alabama Department of Environmental Management (ADEM) under delegated authority from the EPA. The facility's location in an urban-industrial area of Jefferson County means its stormwater discharges may affect local water bodies, including tributaries of the Black Warrior River. Compliance with NPDES permit limits for pollutants like total suspended solids, oil and grease, and metals is critical for protecting downstream water quality. The operational status indicates active management of stormwater to meet regulatory standards and minimize environmental impact.
Environmental context
The facility is situated in an urban-industrial area of Bessemer, Alabama, where stormwater runoff from industrial activities can carry pollutants such as sediment, heavy metals, and hydrocarbons into local waterways. The outfall likely discharges to a receiving water body that is part of the Black Warrior River watershed, which supports aquatic life and recreational uses. Effective stormwater management is essential to prevent impairment of these waters, particularly given the industrial nature of the catchment.
