HUNTER HOLDINGS BORROW PIT is a stormwater outfall located in Troy, Pike County, Alabama, United States. The facility manages stormwater runoff from borrow pit mining activities, classified under NAICS codes 212390 (Other Nonmetallic Mineral Mining and Quarrying) and 212399 (All Other Nonmetallic Mineral Mining). As a stormwater outfall, it discharges collected runoff into local waterways, playing a key role in managing water quality and quantity in the area. The facility operates under the regulatory framework of the US Clean Water Act, specifically the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) program. Stormwater discharges from industrial activities, including mining, are typically regulated under NPDES permits that require implementation of stormwater pollution prevention plans (SWPPPs) and best management practices (BMPs) to control pollutants. The facility's location in Alabama places it under the jurisdiction of the Alabama Department of Environmental Management (ADEM), which administers the NPDES program in the state. Environmental significance of this facility lies in its role in managing runoff from borrow pit operations, which can involve sediment, silt, and other pollutants. Proper stormwater management is critical to protect downstream water bodies from erosion and contamination. The facility's proximity to Troy and the Pike County area means its discharge may affect local streams and rivers, highlighting the importance of compliance with permit limits and regular monitoring to minimize environmental impact.

The facility is located in Pike County, Alabama, an area with a humid subtropical climate characterized by significant rainfall, especially during spring and summer. Stormwater runoff from borrow pit mining operations can carry sediment, nutrients, and other pollutants into nearby water bodies. The region's waterways, including the Conecuh River watershed, are sensitive to sedimentation and require effective stormwater management to maintain water quality and aquatic habitat.
