JET POLYMER RECYCLING-ALATEX RD Stormwater Outfall, Montgomery, Alabama

JET POLYMER RECYCLING-ALATEX RD is a stormwater outfall located at 4290 ALATEX RD in Montgomery, Alabama. This facility manages stormwater discharge from an industrial recycling operation, classified under NAICS 423930 (Recyclable Material Merchant Wholesalers). As a stormwater outfall, it is part of the broader stormwater management infrastructure in Montgomery County. The outfall operates under the regulatory framework of the US Clean Water Act, specifically the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) Municipal Separate Storm Sewer System (MS4) permits. Montgomery, as an urbanized area, is subject to Phase II MS4 requirements, which mandate stormwater management programs to reduce pollutant discharges to the maximum extent practicable. The facility's industrial catchment likely requires compliance with sector-specific effluent guidelines for stormwater discharges associated with industrial activity. This outfall plays a role in managing runoff from the recycling facility, helping to control the discharge of pollutants such as sediment, oil, grease, and metals into local waterways. Proper stormwater management at industrial sites is critical for protecting water quality in the Alabama River watershed, which receives runoff from the Montgomery area. The facility's operational status indicates ongoing compliance with local stormwater regulations.

Montgomery, Alabama, experiences a humid subtropical climate with frequent heavy rainfall, increasing the potential for stormwater runoff and pollutant transport. The outfall discharges into the Alabama River watershed, which is a significant water resource for the region. Industrial stormwater discharges, such as those from recycling facilities, can contain pollutants like heavy metals, oils, and suspended solids. Effective stormwater management is essential to prevent degradation of water quality and aquatic habitats in the receiving waters.
