Pinson Valley Heat Treating Co. Inc. Stormwater Outfall, Pinson, Alabama | USA

Pinson Valley Heat Treating Co. Inc. is an industrial facility located at 6179 Sunrise Drive in Pinson, Jefferson County, Alabama. It operates a stormwater outfall that manages runoff from a metal heat treating operation (NAICS 332811). As a Phase II small MS4 under the Clean Water Act, the facility is subject to NPDES permit requirements for stormwater discharges associated with industrial activity. The facility's stormwater outfall is designed to control and treat runoff from the industrial site before discharge. Typical stormwater management for such facilities includes best management practices (BMPs) such as sediment basins, oil-water separators, and regular monitoring to comply with effluent limits. The regulatory framework in Alabama is overseen by the Alabama Department of Environmental Management (ADEM), which implements the NPDES program. Located in an urbanized area of Jefferson County, the facility's stormwater discharge may affect local waterways. Proper management is essential to prevent pollutants from entering receiving waters, supporting community water quality and ecosystem health. The facility's compliance with its stormwater permit contributes to broader efforts to protect water resources in the region.

The facility is situated in an urbanized area of Jefferson County, Alabama, where stormwater runoff from industrial sites can carry pollutants such as heavy metals, oils, and sediments into local waterways. The outfall likely discharges to a waterbody that may be impaired or sensitive to urban runoff. Compliance with NPDES MS4 permits is critical to minimize environmental impact and protect downstream aquatic ecosystems.
