NEPTUNE TECHNOLOGY GROUP INC Stormwater Outfall, Tallassee, Alabama

NEPTUNE TECHNOLOGY GROUP INC is a stormwater outfall facility located at 1600 AL Highway 229 in Tallassee, Elmore County, Alabama. The facility is operational and serves as a point of discharge for stormwater runoff from an industrial catchment, classified under NAICS code 334514 (Totalizing Fluid Meter and Counting Device Manufacturing). As a stormwater outfall, it is subject to the US Clean Water Act and NPDES MS4 permit requirements, which govern the quality of stormwater discharges from industrial and municipal sources. In Alabama, stormwater management is regulated by the Alabama Department of Environmental Management (ADEM) under the NPDES program. Facilities like this one must implement stormwater pollution prevention plans (SWPPPs) and may be subject to monitoring requirements to ensure compliance with water quality standards. The industrial nature of the catchment suggests potential pollutants such as sediment, metals, or chemicals from manufacturing processes. The facility's discharge likely flows into a nearby waterbody, contributing to local hydrology. Proper management of stormwater outfalls is critical to protect downstream water quality and aquatic habitats. This facility plays a role in managing runoff from an industrial area, helping to mitigate the impact of urban and industrial stormwater on the environment.

The facility is located in Tallassee, Alabama, within the Tallapoosa River watershed. The region experiences a humid subtropical climate with significant rainfall, making stormwater management important for flood control and water quality. Industrial stormwater discharges can introduce pollutants such as heavy metals, oils, and sediments into local waterways, potentially affecting aquatic ecosystems and downstream water uses. Compliance with NPDES MS4 permits is essential to minimize environmental impact.
