MARION COUNTY ASPHALT PLANT Stormwater Outfall, Guin, Alabama

MARION COUNTY ASPHALT PLANT is a stormwater outfall located at 13050 US HWY 43 in Guin, Marion County, Alabama, United States. The facility is operational and classified under NAICS code 324121 (Asphalt Paving Mixture and Block Manufacturing), indicating an industrial catchment with potential stormwater runoff concerns. As an industrial stormwater outfall in the United States, this facility is subject to the Clean Water Act and EPA's NPDES permitting program. Industrial facilities like asphalt plants typically require stormwater permits under the Multi-Sector General Permit (MSGP) or individual permits, which mandate best management practices (BMPs) for controlling pollutants in runoff. The facility's location in Alabama places it under the jurisdiction of the Alabama Department of Environmental Management (ADEM). Stormwater outfalls from industrial sites can impact local water quality if not properly managed. The facility's discharge may affect nearby water bodies, and compliance with permit conditions is essential to minimize environmental harm. Regular monitoring and maintenance of stormwater controls are typical requirements for such facilities.

The facility is located in a rural area of Marion County, Alabama, where stormwater runoff from industrial operations can carry pollutants such as sediment, oil, grease, and heavy metals into local streams and rivers. The region's climate, with frequent rainfall, increases the potential for runoff events. Proper stormwater management is critical to protect water quality in downstream water bodies, which may support aquatic life and recreational uses.
