KING KUTTER INCORPORATED is a stormwater outfall located at 305 Commerce Drive in Winfield, Marion County, Alabama, United States. The facility is operational and classified under NAICS code 333111 (Farm Machinery and Equipment Manufacturing), indicating an industrial catchment area. As a stormwater outfall, it manages runoff from the industrial site, discharging into local waterways. The facility operates within the regulatory framework of the US Clean Water Act, specifically under the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) Municipal Separate Storm Sewer System (MS4) permits. Stormwater outfalls in industrial settings must comply with sector-specific effluent guidelines and implement best management practices (BMPs) to control pollutants. Environmental significance includes potential impacts on receiving waters in the Marion County area. Industrial stormwater discharges can carry pollutants such as sediment, oil, grease, and heavy metals. The facility's role is to convey runoff from the manufacturing site, and its management is critical to protecting local water quality. Compliance with NPDES permits and implementation of stormwater pollution prevention plans (SWPPP) are key to minimizing environmental impact.

The facility is located in Winfield, Alabama, within the Black Warrior River watershed. The region experiences a humid subtropical climate with significant rainfall, increasing the potential for stormwater runoff. Industrial catchments like this one can contribute pollutants such as sediment, metals, and hydrocarbons to receiving waters. Regulatory oversight under the Clean Water Act requires stormwater discharges to be managed through NPDES permits, with a focus on controlling pollution at the source through BMPs and regular monitoring.
