Overview
Kimber Manufacturing Inc. operates a stormwater outfall in Troy, Alabama, managing industrial stormwater discharges under US EPA NPDES MS4 regulations.
Kimber Manufacturing Inc. is an industrial facility located at 200 Industrial Boulevard in Troy, Pike County, Alabama, United States. The facility operates a stormwater outfall that manages runoff from its industrial operations, classified under NAICS code 332994 (small arms ammunition manufacturing). As a stormwater outfall, it is subject to the US EPA's National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permitting framework, specifically under the Clean Water Act's industrial stormwater regulations. The facility's stormwater outfall is designed to control and treat runoff from the industrial site before discharge. In Alabama, industrial stormwater discharges are regulated under the NPDES Multi-Sector General Permit (MSGP), which requires facilities to develop Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plans (SWPPPs) and implement best management practices (BMPs) to minimize pollutant runoff. The facility's location in an industrial area of Troy means the outfall handles runoff from manufacturing processes, parking lots, and other impervious surfaces. Environmental significance of this outfall lies in its role in preventing industrial pollutants from entering local waterways. The facility is situated in the Conecuh River watershed, which supports aquatic habitats and downstream water uses. Proper stormwater management at this site helps protect water quality in the region, particularly given the potential for metals, oils, and other contaminants associated with ammunition manufacturing. Compliance with NPDES permit conditions is critical for minimizing environmental impact.
Environmental context
The facility is located in the Conecuh River watershed in southeastern Alabama, a region characterized by a humid subtropical climate with frequent heavy rainfall events. Industrial stormwater discharges from this site have the potential to carry pollutants such as heavy metals, petroleum hydrocarbons, and sediment into nearby streams. The receiving waters may be subject to state water quality standards for aquatic life and recreation. Effective stormwater management through BMPs and regular monitoring is essential to prevent degradation of local water bodies.
