Overview
KYUNGSHIN CABLE INTERNATIONAL CORPORATION operates a stormwater outfall in Montgomery, Alabama, managing industrial runoff from cable manufacturing and general warehousing activities.
KYUNGSHIN CABLE INTERNATIONAL CORPORATION is a stormwater outfall facility located at 100 Smothers Road in Montgomery, Alabama, United States. The facility is operational and serves an industrial catchment area, handling stormwater runoff from cable manufacturing (NAICS 336322) and general warehousing (NAICS 493110). As a stormwater outfall, it discharges collected runoff into local water bodies, subject to regulatory oversight under the US Clean Water Act. The facility operates under the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permitting framework, specifically the Industrial Stormwater Program. This program requires facilities to implement Best Management Practices (BMPs) to reduce pollutants in stormwater discharges. Typical BMPs include sediment basins, oil-water separators, and regular site inspections. The facility's location in an urban-industrial area of Montgomery means its discharge may affect nearby streams or the Alabama River watershed. Stormwater management at this facility is critical for protecting local water quality from industrial pollutants such as heavy metals, oils, and sediments. Compliance with NPDES permit conditions ensures that discharges meet water quality standards. The facility's role in the community includes mitigating flood risks and preventing contamination of downstream water resources, supporting both environmental and public health objectives.
Environmental context
Montgomery, Alabama, experiences a humid subtropical climate with frequent heavy rainfall, making stormwater management crucial to prevent flooding and water pollution. The facility's industrial catchment, including cable manufacturing and warehousing, poses risks of pollutant runoff such as metals, hydrocarbons, and suspended solids. Discharges from this outfall enter local waterways that ultimately drain to the Alabama River, a major water body supporting aquatic ecosystems and municipal water supplies. Effective stormwater treatment and BMPs are essential to meet Clean Water Act requirements and protect downstream water quality.
