Overview
IPEX USA LLC operates a stormwater outfall in Madison, Alabama, managing runoff from industrial and urban catchments. The facility supports local stormwater management under EPA NPDES MS4 regulations.
IPEX USA LLC is a stormwater outfall located at 245 Swancott Road in Madison, Alabama, within Madison County. The facility is operational and serves as a discharge point for stormwater runoff from the surrounding industrial and urban areas. As part of the stormwater infrastructure in the United States, it operates under the regulatory framework of the Clean Water Act and EPA NPDES MS4 permits, which govern stormwater discharges to protect water quality. The facility's NAICS codes (326122 for plastics pipe fitting manufacturing and 333998 for other general purpose machinery manufacturing) indicate an industrial catchment, which may influence the characteristics of the stormwater runoff. Stormwater outfalls like this one are critical components of municipal separate storm sewer systems (MS4s), designed to convey runoff from impervious surfaces to receiving waters. The scale of this outfall is typical for a medium-sized industrial facility in the region. Environmental significance includes the potential discharge to local water bodies, which may be subject to Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL) requirements under the Clean Water Act. Proper management of stormwater from industrial sites helps reduce pollutant loads such as sediment, heavy metals, and hydrocarbons, supporting the ecological health of downstream aquatic ecosystems. The facility's role in the local stormwater network contributes to flood control and water quality protection in the Madison area.
Environmental context
Madison, Alabama, is part of the Tennessee River watershed, which supports diverse aquatic habitats and is used for recreation and water supply. Stormwater runoff from industrial and urban areas can carry pollutants like sediment, nutrients, and heavy metals, potentially impacting water quality. The facility's discharge may be subject to local watershed management plans and EPA NPDES permit requirements aimed at minimizing these impacts through best management practices (BMPs).
