JACKSONS GAP CLAY AND GRAVEL PIT Stormwater Outfall, Jacksons Gap, Alabama

JACKSONS GAP CLAY AND GRAVEL PIT is a stormwater outfall located in Jacksons Gap, Tallapoosa County, Alabama, United States. The facility manages stormwater discharge from a clay and gravel mining operation, classified under NAICS code 212399 (Other Nonmetallic Mineral Mining and Quarrying). As a stormwater outfall, it is part of the broader network of facilities regulated under the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) for industrial stormwater discharges. In the United States, stormwater outfalls at industrial sites like this one are typically regulated under the EPA's NPDES Multi-Sector General Permit (MSGP) for industrial activities. The facility's operational status is listed as operational, indicating active management of stormwater runoff. The specific discharge volume or receiving water body is not detailed in the available data, but typical mining operations require controls to prevent sediment and pollutant runoff. This facility contributes to local water quality management by controlling stormwater discharge from mining activities. Proper stormwater management at such sites helps protect nearby water bodies from sedimentation and potential contaminants. The regulatory framework under the Clean Water Act ensures that the facility operates within permitted limits to minimize environmental impact.

The facility is located in a region with clay and gravel mining, which can generate sediment-laden runoff. Stormwater discharges from mining operations may carry suspended solids and other pollutants if not properly managed. The local environmental context includes potential impacts on nearby streams or water bodies, requiring adherence to NPDES permit conditions to protect water quality.
