Overview
MADIX INC ECLECTIC FACILITY is a stormwater outfall in Eclectic, Alabama, serving industrial and commercial activities. It operates under US EPA NPDES MS4 regulations for stormwater discharge management.
MADIX INC ECLECTIC FACILITY is a stormwater outfall located at 500 MADIX DRIVE in Eclectic, Elmore County, Alabama, United States. The facility is operational and manages stormwater runoff from industrial operations, including NAICS codes 236210 (industrial building construction), 331221 (rolled steel shape manufacturing), and 337215 (showcase, partition, shelving, and locker manufacturing). As a stormwater outfall, it discharges collected runoff into local waterways, subject to regulatory oversight. The facility operates under the US Clean Water Act and EPA's NPDES MS4 permit program, which governs stormwater discharges from industrial and municipal sources. In Alabama, the Alabama Department of Environmental Management (ADEM) administers the NPDES program. The outfall likely requires a Multi-Sector General Permit (MSGP) or individual permit, with monitoring and best management practices (BMPs) to control pollutants. The industrial catchment includes manufacturing activities that may contribute sediment, metals, or other contaminants to stormwater runoff. Environmental significance lies in its location within the Tallapoosa River watershed, which drains to the Alabama River system. Proper stormwater management is critical to protect water quality in receiving streams, especially given the industrial nature of the catchment. The facility's compliance with permit conditions and implementation of BMPs helps mitigate impacts on aquatic ecosystems and downstream water uses.
Environmental context
The facility is located in the Tallapoosa River basin, part of the larger Alabama River watershed. This region experiences a humid subtropical climate with frequent rainfall, making stormwater management crucial to prevent flooding and pollutant transport. Industrial activities on-site may contribute metals, hydrocarbons, and sediment to runoff, necessitating effective treatment and erosion control measures to protect local streams and downstream water bodies.
