KITH FURNITURE, LLC Stormwater Outfall in Haleyville, Alabama

KITH FURNITURE, LLC operates a stormwater outfall located at 7155 State Highway 13 in Haleyville, Winston County, Alabama. This facility manages stormwater runoff from an industrial site engaged in furniture manufacturing (NAICS codes 337122, 337125, 337126). As a stormwater outfall, it is part of the broader network of facilities regulated under the US EPA's National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) for industrial stormwater discharges. The facility operates under the regulatory framework of the Clean Water Act, which requires industrial stormwater outfalls to obtain NPDES permit coverage. In Alabama, the Alabama Department of Environmental Management (ADEM) administers the NPDES program. The facility's discharge is subject to best management practices (BMPs) and monitoring requirements to control pollutants such as sediment, metals, and chemicals associated with furniture manufacturing. Environmental significance lies in its role in managing runoff from an industrial area, which can impact local water quality. The outfall likely discharges to a nearby waterbody, potentially affecting aquatic habitats in the region. Proper stormwater management helps mitigate risks of flooding and pollution, supporting community and environmental health in Haleyville and the surrounding Winston County area.

The facility is located in a region with a humid subtropical climate, characterized by frequent rainfall, which increases the volume of stormwater runoff. Industrial catchments like this one can introduce pollutants such as heavy metals, oils, and organic compounds into local waterways. The outfall may discharge to tributaries of the Black Warrior River system, which supports diverse aquatic life and is used for recreation and water supply. Compliance with NPDES permit conditions is critical to prevent degradation of these water resources.
