Overview
PARKER HANNIFIN CORPORATION IPD is a stormwater outfall in Jacksonville, Alabama, serving an industrial facility. It operates under US EPA NPDES MS4 regulations for stormwater discharge.
PARKER HANNIFIN CORPORATION IPD is a stormwater outfall located at 2651 Alabama Highway 21 North in Jacksonville, Calhoun County, Alabama. This facility manages stormwater runoff from an industrial site classified under NAICS codes 332911 and 332912, which cover industrial valve manufacturing and fluid power hose and fitting manufacturing. As a stormwater outfall, it is part of the broader infrastructure required to control and treat stormwater discharge from industrial activities. In the United States, stormwater outfalls like this one are regulated under the Clean Water Act through the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES). Industrial facilities must obtain permit coverage for stormwater discharges, often under the Multi-Sector General Permit (MSGP) or individual permits. The facility is located in Alabama, where the Alabama Department of Environmental Management (ADEM) oversees NPDES permitting and compliance. Typical stormwater management practices at industrial sites include sedimentation basins, oil-water separators, and regular monitoring to ensure compliance with effluent limits. The environmental significance of this outfall lies in its role in preventing pollutants from industrial operations, such as metals, oils, and sediments, from entering local waterways. The facility's location in Jacksonville, near the foothills of the Appalachian Mountains, means that stormwater runoff can affect streams and rivers in the region. Proper management of this outfall helps protect water quality in the Coosa River basin, which is a critical water resource for the area.
Environmental context
The stormwater outfall is located in Jacksonville, Alabama, within the Coosa River watershed. This region experiences a humid subtropical climate with significant rainfall, making stormwater management crucial for preventing erosion and pollutant runoff. Industrial facilities in the area, such as those manufacturing metal products, can contribute heavy metals and hydrocarbons to stormwater. The outfall's discharge may affect local streams that feed into the Coosa River, which is used for recreation and drinking water downstream. Regulatory oversight under the NPDES program aims to minimize these impacts through best management practices and monitoring.
Frequently asked questions
The stormwater outfall is located at 2651 Alabama Highway 21 North, Jacksonville, Alabama 36265, in Calhoun County.
It is a stormwater outfall that manages and discharges stormwater runoff from an industrial facility involved in manufacturing industrial valves and fluid power components.
The outfall is regulated under the US Clean Water Act through the NPDES program. Industrial stormwater discharges require permit coverage, often under the Multi-Sector General Permit (MSGP) or an individual permit.
Common pollutants include sediments, heavy metals (e.g., lead, copper), oils and greases, and chemicals from industrial processes. Best management practices like sediment basins and spill prevention are used to control these.
Stormwater management reduces the transport of pollutants to nearby streams and rivers. For this outfall, proper management helps protect the Coosa River watershed, which supports drinking water, recreation, and aquatic life.
