MATERIAL DELIVERY SERVICE INC Stormwater Outfall, Pell City, Alabama

MATERIAL DELIVERY SERVICE INC is a stormwater outfall located at 3801 MDS Road in Pell City, St. Clair County, Alabama, United States. The facility is operational and classified under NAICS codes 484220 and 484230, which correspond to specialized freight trucking and long-distance freight trucking. As a stormwater outfall, it manages runoff from industrial activities, subject to federal and state stormwater regulations. The facility operates under the US EPA's National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permitting program, specifically the Multi-Sector General Permit (MSGP) for industrial stormwater discharges. In Alabama, the Alabama Department of Environmental Management (ADEM) administers the NPDES program. The site's industrial catchment likely includes trucking operations, vehicle maintenance areas, and material storage, which can contribute pollutants such as sediment, oil, and grease to stormwater runoff. Stormwater management at this facility is important for protecting local water quality in the Coosa River basin, which receives runoff from the Pell City area. Proper implementation of best management practices (BMPs) and compliance with permit requirements help minimize the environmental impact of industrial stormwater discharges. The facility's role in the local transportation sector underscores the need for effective stormwater controls to prevent pollution of downstream water bodies.

The facility is located in Pell City, Alabama, within the Coosa River watershed. The Coosa River is a major tributary of the Alabama River system and supports diverse aquatic life, including several endangered species. Industrial stormwater discharges from trucking operations can introduce pollutants such as sediment, heavy metals, and hydrocarbons into local waterways. The region experiences a humid subtropical climate with frequent rainfall, increasing the potential for runoff events. Effective stormwater management is critical to prevent degradation of water quality in the Coosa River and its tributaries.
