PICKENSVILLE MAINTENANCE COMPOUND Stormwater Outfall, Carrollton, Alabama

PICKENSVILLE MAINTENANCE COMPOUND is a stormwater outfall located at 1623 Lock and Dam Road in Carrollton, Pickens County, Alabama, United States. The facility is operational and serves as a point of discharge for stormwater runoff from the surrounding area, likely associated with maintenance activities in the region. As a stormwater outfall in the United States, this facility is subject to the Clean Water Act and the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permitting program. Municipal Separate Storm Sewer System (MS4) permits, both Phase I and Phase II, regulate stormwater discharges from urbanized areas. The facility's NAICS code 111998 indicates an agricultural support activity, suggesting the catchment may include agricultural runoff. The environmental significance of this outfall lies in its potential to discharge stormwater into nearby water bodies, which may be impaired by pollutants such as sediment, nutrients, or chemicals. Proper management and compliance with permit requirements are essential to protect local water quality and aquatic habitats in the Tombigbee River basin.

The facility is located in the Tombigbee River watershed, a region characterized by agricultural land use and rural development. Stormwater runoff from maintenance compounds and agricultural areas can carry sediment, fertilizers, and other pollutants into receiving waters, potentially impacting aquatic ecosystems and downstream water quality. Regulatory oversight under the NPDES MS4 program aims to minimize these impacts through best management practices and monitoring.
