J R Gazzier LLC Stormwater Outfall, Bayou La Batre, Alabama

J R Gazzier LLC is a stormwater outfall located at 9280 Seafood House Road in Bayou La Batre, Alabama, within Mobile County. The facility is operational and falls under the jurisdiction of the US EPA's National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) program, which regulates stormwater discharges from industrial activities. As a stormwater outfall, it manages runoff from a site classified under NAICS 336611 (Ship Building and Repairing), indicating an industrial catchment with potential for pollutant loads. The facility operates under the Clean Water Act framework, which requires stormwater permits for industrial discharges. In Alabama, the Alabama Department of Environmental Management (ADEM) administers the NPDES program, including MS4 permits for municipal separate storm sewer systems. The outfall likely discharges to a local waterbody, and its compliance with permit limits is critical for protecting water quality in the region. Bayou La Batres coastal location on the Gulf of Mexico makes stormwater management important for preventing pollution in sensitive estuarine environments. The facilitys role in controlling runoff from shipbuilding activities helps mitigate impacts on local waterways and supports the communitys environmental health. Proper operation of this outfall contributes to the broader stormwater management infrastructure in Mobile County.

Bayou La Batres location on the Gulf Coast means stormwater discharges can affect sensitive estuarine ecosystems, including seagrass beds and shellfish habitats. The facilitys industrial catchment (ship building) may contribute pollutants like heavy metals, oils, and sediments. Under the Clean Water Act, the outfall must comply with NPDES permit limits to protect receiving waters from degradation. Local waterbodies in the Mobile Bay area are subject to Total Maximum Daily Loads (TMDLs) for pollutants, making stormwater management critical for meeting water quality standards.
