Overview
ICS OF ALABAMA is a stormwater outfall in Springville, Alabama, United States. It operates under the US EPA NPDES MS4 permit framework for stormwater discharges.
ICS OF ALABAMA is a stormwater outfall located at 320 Walker Dr, Springville, Alabama, in St. Clair County. As a stormwater outfall, it serves as a discharge point for stormwater runoff from the facility's catchment area. The facility is operational and falls under the regulatory oversight of the US Clean Water Act and the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) Municipal Separate Storm Sewer System (MS4) program. The facility is associated with NAICS codes 332439 (Other Metal Container Manufacturing) and 811310 (Commercial and Industrial Machinery and Equipment Repair and Maintenance), indicating an industrial catchment. Stormwater outfalls in industrial settings are subject to specific NPDES permit requirements, including stormwater pollution prevention plans (SWPPPs) and monitoring for pollutants. The facility's location in Alabama means it operates under the Alabama Department of Environmental Management (ADEM) as the permitting authority. Stormwater management at this outfall is important for protecting local water quality in St. Clair County. Discharges from industrial facilities can carry pollutants such as metals, oils, and sediments. Proper management and compliance with permit conditions help minimize impacts on receiving waters. The facility's role in the local stormwater network contributes to flood control and environmental protection in the Springville area.
Environmental context
The stormwater outfall at ICS OF ALABAMA discharges into a catchment that may ultimately drain to the Coosa River basin, a significant water resource in Alabama. Industrial stormwater runoff from the facility's operations (metal container manufacturing and machinery repair) can introduce pollutants like heavy metals, hydrocarbons, and suspended solids. The facility is subject to NPDES MS4 permit requirements, which mandate best management practices (BMPs) to reduce pollutant loads. Local water bodies may be impaired due to urban and industrial runoff, making stormwater treatment and compliance critical for maintaining water quality standards.
