NORTH PARKWAY AUTO SALVAGE INC. Stormwater Outfall, Meridianville, Alabama

NORTH PARKWAY AUTO SALVAGE INC. is a stormwater outfall located at 12374 Highway 231/431 North in Meridianville, Madison County, Alabama. The facility manages stormwater runoff from an automotive salvage operation, classified under NAICS 423140 for motor vehicle parts (used) merchant wholesalers. As a stormwater outfall, it discharges collected runoff into local waterways, subject to the Clean Water Act and NPDES MS4 permit requirements. The facility operates under the regulatory framework of the US EPA's National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES), specifically the MS4 program for stormwater discharges. In Alabama, the Alabama Department of Environmental Management (ADEM) administers the NPDES program. The site's industrial activity (auto salvage) likely requires a Multi-Sector General Permit (MSGP) for stormwater discharges associated with industrial activity, which mandates best management practices (BMPs) to control pollutants. Located in Meridianville, a community in northern Alabama, the outfall discharges into the Tennessee River basin. The facility's environmental significance lies in managing runoff from a salvage yard, which can contain pollutants such as oil, heavy metals, and battery acids. Proper stormwater management helps protect local water quality and aquatic habitats in the region.

The facility is situated in Madison County, Alabama, within the Tennessee River watershed. The region experiences a humid subtropical climate with frequent rainfall, increasing the potential for stormwater runoff. The automotive salvage operation poses risks of pollutant discharge, including hydrocarbons, heavy metals, and sediment. Local water bodies may be sensitive to such contaminants, requiring robust stormwater controls under the NPDES framework.
