MOBILE ASPHALT Stormwater Outfall, Summerdale, Alabama | Industrial Stormwater Management

MOBILE ASPHALT is a stormwater outfall located at 17751 Vaughn Road in Summerdale, Alabama, within Baldwin County. This facility manages stormwater runoff from industrial operations classified under NAICS codes 237310 (Highway, Street, and Bridge Construction) and 324121 (Asphalt Paving Mixture and Block Manufacturing). As a stormwater outfall, it discharges collected runoff into local waterways, subject to regulatory oversight. The facility operates under the US EPA National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) framework, which governs stormwater discharges from industrial activities. As part of the NPDES program, MOBILE ASPHALT is required to implement a Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP) to minimize pollutant runoff. The regulatory context for stormwater in Alabama is enforced by the Alabama Department of Environmental Management (ADEM), which administers the NPDES permit program for industrial stormwater discharges. Stormwater outfalls like MOBILE ASPHALT play a critical role in managing runoff from industrial sites, helping to prevent erosion, flooding, and the transport of pollutants to nearby water bodies. The facility's location in Baldwin County, near the Gulf Coast, underscores the importance of effective stormwater management to protect sensitive aquatic ecosystems and comply with Clean Water Act requirements.

The facility is located in Baldwin County, Alabama, an area with a humid subtropical climate and significant rainfall, which increases the potential for stormwater runoff. Industrial activities at the site, including asphalt production and construction, can generate pollutants such as sediment, oil, and heavy metals. Effective stormwater management is essential to prevent these contaminants from reaching local waterways, which may include impaired water bodies. The facility's compliance with NPDES permit conditions is critical for protecting water quality in the region.
