LIMESTONE BORROW PIT Stormwater Outfall, Perdue Hill, Alabama | US Stormwater Facility

LIMESTONE BORROW PIT is a stormwater outfall located in Perdue Hill, Monroe County, Alabama, United States. As a stormwater outfall, it manages runoff from the surrounding area, likely related to mining operations given its NAICS codes for construction sand and gravel mining and other nonmetallic mineral mining. The facility operates under the regulatory framework of the US EPA NPDES MS4 program, which governs stormwater discharges. In Alabama, the Alabama Department of Environmental Management (ADEM) implements these regulations. The outfall likely requires a permit to ensure compliance with water quality standards, particularly for discharges to nearby water bodies. Stormwater outfalls like this one play a critical role in managing runoff and preventing flooding and erosion. They also help protect local water quality by controlling the release of pollutants. The facility's location in a rural area with mining activities underscores the importance of proper stormwater management to mitigate environmental impacts.

The facility is located in Monroe County, Alabama, an area with a mix of forested and agricultural land, as well as mining operations. Stormwater runoff from these activities can carry sediments, nutrients, and other pollutants into local waterways. The outfall likely discharges to a nearby stream or river, potentially affecting water quality in the Alabama River basin. Proper management is essential to minimize impacts on aquatic ecosystems.
