JOE HUDSON COLLISION CENTER Stormwater Outfall, Enterprise, Alabama

JOE HUDSON COLLISION CENTER is a stormwater outfall located at 5998 S BOLL WEEVIL CIRCLE in Enterprise, Coffee County, Alabama, United States. This facility manages stormwater runoff from an automotive collision repair center, classified under NAICS 811121. As a stormwater outfall, it discharges collected runoff into local waterways, operating under the regulatory framework of the US EPA's National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) and applicable Alabama stormwater permits. The facility's primary technical metric is discharge volume, measured in cubic meters per day. Typical stormwater outfalls for small industrial facilities like this handle runoff from impervious surfaces such as parking lots and building roofs. The outfall is designed to manage stormwater quality and quantity, often incorporating best management practices (BMPs) like sediment basins or oil-water separators to reduce pollutant loads before discharge. Located in Enterprise, Alabama, the facility operates within the Choctawhatchee River watershed. Stormwater runoff from industrial sites can carry pollutants such as oil, grease, metals, and sediments. Proper management of this outfall helps protect local water quality and aquatic habitats. The facility's compliance with NPDES permit requirements is essential for minimizing environmental impact and supporting community water resources.

Enterprise, Alabama, lies in the coastal plain region with a humid subtropical climate, receiving significant rainfall that generates substantial stormwater runoff. The outfall discharges into local streams that feed the Choctawhatchee River, which is ecologically important for aquatic species. Industrial stormwater from automotive repair facilities may contain pollutants like hydrocarbons, heavy metals, and suspended solids. Effective stormwater management is critical to prevent degradation of these water bodies and to comply with Clean Water Act requirements.
