This facility manages stormwater runoff from industrial timber operations, classified under NAICS 113310 (Logging). The outfall is part of the broader stormwater management infrastructure in the region, serving to control and treat runoff before discharge. The facility operates under the regulatory framework of the US Clean Water Act, specifically the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) for stormwater discharges associated with industrial activity. As an industrial facility in the timber sector, it is subject to EPA's Multi-Sector General Permit (MSGP) requirements, which mandate stormwater pollution prevention plans (SWPPP) and best management practices (BMPs) to minimize pollutant runoff. Located in rural Alabama, the outfall discharges into local waterways that may ultimately feed into the Tombigbee River basin. The facility's stormwater management is critical for protecting water quality in this ecologically sensitive region, which supports diverse aquatic habitats. Proper operation helps mitigate erosion, sedimentation, and potential contamination from timber processing activities.

The facility is situated in Pickens County, Alabama, within the Tombigbee River watershed. This region features forested landscapes and agricultural areas, with waterways supporting diverse aquatic ecosystems. Stormwater runoff from industrial timber operations can carry sediment, nutrients, and organic matter, potentially impacting water quality and aquatic habitats. Regulatory oversight under the Clean Water Act ensures implementation of best management practices to minimize these impacts.
